About The Position

Wipro is seeking an Identity AI Security Architect to develop enterprise cybersecurity strategy and architecture, with a focus on non-human identity (NHI) and AI security. The role covers reference architectures for AI agent identity, including registration, attestation, credential issuance, scoping, and revocation; delegation and token-exchange patterns; authorization of tool and function invocations; MCP and tool-protocol security; and containment measures that apply least privilege at the identity layer. It also addresses workload identity, NHI lifecycle management, behavioral telemetry, and threat modeling using MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP LLM Top 10. The architect will define security reference architectures, patterns, standards, and exception governance, applying zero-trust principles across identity, devices, networks, applications, and data. The position spans IAM/IGA/PAM, multicloud security, DevSecOps and software supply-chain security, cryptography, and key management. It provides executive and audit advisory and mentorship to senior architects, as well as technical leadership for client security architecture, solution design, implementation, and assurance. The role is remote and full-time. The expected compensation range is $100,000 to $200,000, with final compensation depending on factors including location, skills, and experience. Wipro states that eligible employees receive standard benefits, including medical and dental options, disability insurance, paid time off, and other paid and unpaid leave options.
