Overview TITAN Group is seeking an experienced Application Security Architect to design, lead, and govern the secure architecture of our enterprise, manufacturing, and industrial applications. This role will report to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). This critical role ensures that all software, automation platforms, and connected systems across TITAN are resilient against evolving cyber threats. The role collaborates closely with IT, OT (Operational Technology), Digital, and Engineering teams to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) — aligning with corporate cybersecurity standards and the specific needs of a complex manufacturing environment. Key Responsibilities: Application and Systems Architecture • Define, design, and document secure architectures for enterprise and manufacturing systems (MES, ERP, SCADA, PLM, etc.). • Integrate application security principles across IT and OT environments, ensuring seamless and secure interoperability. • Evaluate and recommend security frameworks supporting DevSecOps and digital transformation initiatives. Secure SDLC and Governance • Establish and maintain secure development policies aligned with NIST, ISO 27001, and relevant industry frameworks. • Embed automated security controls (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scanning) within CI/CD pipelines and evaluate outcomes. • Collaborate with development teams on threat modeling, secure design reviews, and code audits. • Define architecture-level mitigations for vulnerabilities and ensure remediation aligns with business risk priorities. Vulnerability and Risk Management • Lead enterprise-wide application and API vulnerability management. • Oversee risk evaluations for software components, IIoT platforms, and connected devices. • Manage relationships with third-party assessors, vendors, and integrators, including penetration testing activities. Tooling, Automation and Continuous Improvement • Architect and maintain security tools for SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, and threat modeling. • Drive automation and secure coding adoption across development teams. • Continuously assess emerging tools and technologies relevant to manufacturing systems security. Training and Awareness • Develop and deliver secure coding and application security training for developers, engineers, and OT application owners. • Promote a culture of “security by design” across software and engineering teams. Collaboration and Leadership • Advise product managers, solution architects, and system integrators on secure architecture best practices. • Participate in architecture review boards and cyber risk management committees. • Represent application security in enterprise cyber initiatives, compliance reviews, and digital innovation projects.
