Cloud Architect Zero Trust & Cyberlab Lead MF

3. The Core Missions

Strategy Definition & Secure-by-Design Architecture

Act as the senior technical referee. You will define validate and promote the Zero Trust architecture blueprint across Group teams and global BUs. You will steer technical choices away from legacy network-dependent constraints and advocate for modern identity-centric browser-enforced and resource-level controls.

Cyberlab Leadership & Prototyping

Lead the technology watch and build practical proof-of-concepts (PoCs) within our Cyberlab. This involves validating advanced solutions and determining their fit for Veolias maturity and scopes criticality.

For instance you will have to consider the protection of AI components (LLMs generative AI and autonomous agents) as well as develop specific integration models (such as SASE/ZTNA) designed exclusively to securely integrate legacy software and OT/SCADA environments into our trust framework.

Global Support for Business Units (BUs)

Democratize Zero Trust and native protection of our assets. You will build and publish reusable blueprints starter kits and architectural templates to facilitate easy migration paths for local teams.

When local BUs face unique architectural hurdles you will use your pragmatism and expertise to design secure workarounds ensuring security acts as an enabler to business delivery rather than a blocker.

The Design & Legal Assessment (DLA)

Contribute as an expert to the DLA process to support DLA team in evaluating and auditing newly introduced or renewed Group solutions (SaaS PaaS Mobile and complex multi-cloud deployments).
