Honeywell is seeking a Senior Advanced Software Architect to help define and drive cybersecurity architecture, threat strategy, and technical direction across multiple teams and programs. This role sits within the Innovation, Architecture, and Threat Intelligence organization and serves as a senior technical authority to product development supporting secure system design, threat analysis, and cybersecurity best practices across the enterprise.
You will report directly to our Chief Architect, and you'll work out of our Atlanta, GA or Duluth, GA locations on a hybrid work schedule.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on architecture, guidance, and influence—not day-to-day operations or people management. You will work closely with senior engineers, architects, and product teams to ensure security is built into systems from the earliest design stages.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead design and review of secure software architectures for cloud, edge, and on-prem platforms built in C#, .NET, Python, and modern microservice frameworks
- Research advanced and emerging technologies like 5G, AI/ML and Quantum and collaborate with other architects on new cybersecurity initiatives.
- Ensure security best practices are integrated into modern system architectures, including containerized and microservice-based environments.
- Analyze emerging cybersecurity threats and translate threat intelligence into actionable guidance for engineering teams.
- Conduct security assessments and risk analyses to identify vulnerabilities and recommend mitigation strategies.
- Partner with cross-functional engineering and product teams to integrate security into the full development lifecycle.
- Serve as a senior cybersecurity subject matter expert for technical challenges across multiple teams and locations.
- Provide hands-on technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and architects as needed.
- Support security incident response efforts by providing architectural and technical expertise.
YOU MUST HAVE
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics
- Minimum 6 years of experience in software development in cybersecurity, security architecture, or a related technical domain.
- Comfort writing code (e.g., React, C#, .NET, Python) to validate security architectures, threat models, and design decisions.
- Demonstrated experience leading or influencing technical projects.
- Strong understanding of containerized and microservice-based architectures.
- Strong understanding of cloud architecture and security fundamentals.
- Solid knowledge of cybersecurity principles, technologies, and best practices.
WE VALUE
- Bachelor's or Advanced Degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or another related field
- Experience in Azure, AWS, or GCP cloud security services (IAM, KMS, VPC, WAF, container security, etc.).
- Experience in coding AI/ML pipelines or cloud-hosted models.
- Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or GIAC.
- Experience working in product-based engineering environments
- Prior experience acting as a senior technical advisor or architect in cybersecurity.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to lead and influence across teams without direct management responsibility.
