Cloud Solution Architect - Security

Microsoft Microsoft · Big Tech · Schiphol, NH +1 · Cloud Solution Architecture

This role is a Security Cloud Solution Architect focused on helping customers securely adopt AI workloads and data on the Microsoft cloud. The architect will act as a trusted advisor, designing security architectures covering identity, data protection, cloud posture, and secure app development, with a focus on AI-specific risks like data leakage and prompt injection.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build trusted relationships with customers by listening deeply, translating goals into security outcomes, and creating a safe space for technical decision-making.
  2. Lead architecture and design conversations for secure AI and cloud adoption, including identity, data access, threat protection, and governance across Microsoft Security.
  3. Guide customers to implement Zero Trust and “secure by design” principles for AI-enabled apps and workloads (e.g., least privilege, secure connectivity, secrets management, and secure data grounding patterns).
  4. Help customers assess AI security risks (e.g., data leakage, prompt injection, insecure plugins/connectors, and model supply chain risks) and map mitigations to Microsoft capabilities and customer controls.
  5. Accelerate adoption by removing technical blockers, delivering repeatable guidance, and partnering with engineering, product teams, FastTrack, and partners to drive customer success.
