We are TecAlliance — founded by more than 30 automotive aftermarket companies as a neutral Data?as?a?Service market connector, serving as the neutral data terrain that interconnects them.

With over 1,000 employees worldwide and customers in 140 countries, we enable the market — we never compete with it.

Join us in this full-time role, working 40 hours per week.

You'll be part of an English-speaking team of IT Sec professionals focused on protecting TecAlliance's platforms and data.

You report to our Lead Cyber Security Joao Santos Matias.

Security that is bolted on at the end always arrives too late — so as our Cyber Security Architect (m/f/d), you design it in from the start.

You will be the first to introduce security by design practices to our development teams.

You decide how security is built into every design: you analyze threats and risks before a single line of code ships, turn them into clear security concepts, and shape architectural decisions that hold up in practice — for the products our clients rely on as well as for our internal tooling.

With you, security becomes part of how we build, not a check at the end.

Your goal: enable our organization to live security by design and by default — so that secure products for our clients and secure internal tools are the natural result of how we work, not an afterthought.

Without you, security stays a late-stage check instead of a built-in part of every design.

Make an impact with these tasks Be the first to introduce security by design practices to our development teams and make security a natural part of how software is planned and built.

Perform threat and risk analyses for our products and internal tooling.

Write security concepts that are practical, sustainable and ready to implement.

Suggest, challenge and discuss architectural decisions in software development, and create secure and effective cyber security architectures.

Collaborate with different teams and external partners, decide on your own workload prioritization and security priorities within projects, and escalate blockers.

Bring your skills and ideas Must-haves Completed degree in IT or Information Security or a comparable qualification.

In-depth experience in a security architecture role and as a software developer.

Experience in a project coordination or management role.

Knowledge of risk and threat analysis methodologies and penetration testing, and a solid understanding of software development.
