Senior Technical Architect

• Design, test, certify, and maintain operating system patching solutions, patch catalogues, and platform enhancements.
• Support OS patch engineering, patch tooling integration, and automation capabilities across infrastructure and cloud platforms.
• Validate, test, and release patches to meet production, compliance, security, and operational requirements.
• Manage patch lifecycle activities, including patch availability, validation outcomes, release readiness, and operational handover.
• Develop and maintain engineering standards, procedures, and documentation related to patch governance and platform maintenance.

1. Security, Risk & Compliance * Integrate vulnerability assessment, security validation, and compliance checks into patch management and platform engineering processes. * Ensure operating system and platform configurations comply with internal policies, regulatory expectations, risk controls, and audit requirements. * Collaborate with cybersecurity and risk teams to assess vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation, and strengthen the security posture of infrastructure platforms. * Support compliance evidence, operational reporting, and audit activities related to patching, platform maintenance, and vulnerability remediation.

2. Automation & Continuous Improvement * Develop automation for patch deployment, validation, rollback checks, monitoring, reporting, and release readiness activities. * Use Infrastructure as Code, configuration management, and scripting to reduce manual effort and improve repeatability across patching operations. * Identify opportunities to optimize patching processes, improve release frequency, and support timely vulnerability remediation. * Contribute to standardization of tools, processes, and engineering patterns across infrastructure platforms.

3. Collaboration & Stakeholder Management * Act as a technical point of contact for platform, infrastructure, security, application, and operations teams. * Work with stakeholders to understand patching requirements, production dependencies, service constraints, and compliance expectations. * Provide technical guidance and best practices for patch governance, automation, platform stability, and release management. * Operate effectively within a cross-functional Agile team and contribute to knowledge sharing, mentoring, and engineering excellence., Patch Engineering & Platform Management * Design, test, certify, and maintain operating system patching solutions, patch catalogues, and platform enhancements. * Support OS patch engineering, patch tooling integration, and automation capabilities across infrastructure and cloud platforms. * Validate, test, and release patches to meet production, compliance, security, and operational requirements. * Manage patch lifecycle activities, including patch availability, validation outcomes, release readiness, and operational handover. * Develop and maintain engineering standards, procedures, and documentation related to patch governance and platform maintenance.
