About The Position

World Wide Technology (WWT) is a global technology solutions provider founded in 1990, dedicated to creating a profitable growth company and a Great Place to Work for All. WWT leads the AI and Digital Revolution, combining strategy, execution, and partnership to accelerate digital transformation for organizations globally. Through its Advanced Technology Center, WWT helps clients conceptualize, test, and deploy innovative technology solutions. With over 12,000 employees across WWT and Softchoice and more than 60 locations, WWT's culture has been recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work® for 14 consecutive years. The Solutions Consulting & Engineering (SC&E) Team is customer-focused and solutions-led, delivering end-to-end and emerging solutions to drive customer satisfaction, profitability, and growth through management consulting, delivery excellence, and engineering brilliance. The team aims to combine business acumen with full-stack technical know-how to solve complex client challenges. WWT Digital is establishing a joint AI + Security practice with WWT Global Security Solutions and is seeking a Principal Architect to lead the technical design and client delivery of its AI-native security offerings portfolio. This role involves working directly with practice leadership as the senior technical resource on engagements, from discovery through architecture, SOW definition, and delivery oversight, requiring strong expertise in both AI engineering and security domains.

Requirements

• 8–12 years in solutions architecture with genuine depth in both AI/ML systems and security architecture — not a generalist who has touched both
• Can design agentic AI systems from scratch AND identify their attack surface without needing a security person to translate
• Deep cloud architecture experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP) with security-native design patterns: zero trust, least privilege, IAM/NHI design
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP (traditional and Agentic Top 10), NIST AI RMF — able to apply them in architecture design, not just cite them
• Strong SDLC and DevSecOps architectural knowledge — understands where security controls fit in the development lifecycle
• Executive presence — can hold a room with a CTO and CISO simultaneously and keep both engaged
• Experience in professional services, consulting, or managed services delivery — knows how to scope work, protect margin, and manage client expectations

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience building or growing a practice, not just delivering into one
• Experience with WWT partner ecosystem (Palo Alto Prisma, Microsoft Defender, Cisco Hypershield, Snyk)
• Delivered at an enterprise IT services firm (Accenture, Deloitte, Cognizant, KPMG, IBM)

Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery workshops with clients — assess current-state AI and SDLC maturity, identify security exposure, define target architecture
• Design end-to-end solutions across CI/CD security hardening, AI vulnerability assessment, and AI-native security feedback loop engagements
• Own the technical SOW narrative — scope definitions, assumptions, acceptance criteria, phasing
• Serve as Tech Lead on DIG-MLS-01 (AI-Native Security Feedback Loop) engagements at enterprise scale
• Maintain architectural standards across all three Digital + Security offerings, ensuring repeatability and margin integrity
• Present findings and solution designs to CISO, CTO, and CIO-level stakeholders — translating between engineering depth and business risk language
• Collaborate with WWT partner ecosystem (Palo Alto, Cisco, Microsoft, AWS, Snyk) to integrate partner capabilities into joint architectures
• Mentor the DevSecOps Engineer and AI Security Engineer; serve as the senior escalation point on delivery

Benefits

• Health and Wellbeing: Health, Dental, and Vision Care, Onsite Health Centers, Employee Assistance Program, Wellness program
