At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

At Macquarie, Secure by Design is how we ensure technology is built to scale safely in a complex, regulated, and constantly evolving environment. As a Security Architect – Secure by Design, you will sit at the intersection of engineering delivery, architectural thinking, and risk‑based decision‑making, shaping how security is applied across technology solutions in practice, rather than enforcing controls in isolation. You will work closely with teams building on modern platforms, including public cloud, containerised environments, and automation tooling and with senior stakeholders who value clear thinking, pragmatic advice, and solutions that work in the real world.

A core part of the role focuses on security assessments, reviewing solution designs and implementations to understand where risk sits and to define appropriate, risk‑aligned security responses. This is a role where judgement matters more than checklists, and where effective security decisions are shaped by context, complexity, and real‑world trade‑offs between security, usability, and delivery momentum.

On more complex and higher‑risk initiatives, you will be directly involved in design discussions and key decision points, contributing architectural perspective and influencing outcomes where it adds the greatest value. Engagement spans the delivery lifecycle: while some work aligns to formal assessment and review stages, the role also supports earlier Secure by Design involvement on selected initiatives, helping inform design direction before solutions are fully defined.

You will also contribute to the development and evolution of reusable security architecture patterns and controls, supporting a consistent, scalable, and pragmatic Secure by Design approach across the organisation as demand continues to grow.

We love hearing from anyone inspired to build a better future with us, if you're excited about the role or working at Macquarie we encourage you to apply.
