Security Architect — Banamex

Banamex is transforming—and we’re doing it from the inside out.
We’re rebuilding one of Mexico’s most iconic banks into a modern, secure, cloud-first financial platform that moves at fintech speed but with the scale and trust of a national institution.

As our Security Architect, you’ll report directly to the CTO and become the architectural backbone of that transformation. Your mission: design the next-generation security fabric that protects millions of customers while empowering engineers to deliver faster, safer, and smarter.

You won’t be maintaining controls—you’ll be defining what secure banking looks like for the next decade. From Zero Trust architecture and DevSecOps pipelines to SPEI/CoDi payments, cloud workloads, and digital identity, you’ll embed resilience, privacy, and compliance into every product we launch.

This is a role for someone who wants to build patterns that outlive them, influence architectural decisions at the highest level, and see their work ripple across the entire Mexican financial ecosystem.




If you want to make impact—not noise—this is where it happens.

What you’ll own
- Target Security Architecture: Define and evolve reference architectures, control patterns, and guardrails for on-prem, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), and hybrid environments.
- Design Authority: Lead architecture reviews and formal threat modeling (STRIDE/LINDDUN); document risk-based decisions that stand up to audit.
- Zero-Trust & Identity: Drive identity-centric designs (OIDC/OAuth2/SAML, MFA, PAM), workload identity, micro-segmentation, and continuous verification.
- Data Security: Standardize encryption at rest/in transit, KMS/HSM usage, tokenization, data classification, DLP, and secrets management.
- Cloud & Container Security: Patterns for Kubernetes, serverless, and IaC (Terraform); adopt policy-as-code (OPA/Conftest), image signing, and runtime protections.
- DevSecOps Enablement: Embed SAST/DAST/IAST/SCA and IaC scanning into CI/CD;
