Security Architect

Overview

Basis is building the future by redesigning the electrical systems that power homes to fight climate change, reduce household costs, and create a better future. We need incredible people who are bold, creative, sharp, and thoughtful. We move fast and think differently.

The Role

We’re looking for a Security Architect to own and deliver our security strategy across both products and operations. This role is about building security by design and ensuring our platforms and internal systems are robust, resilient, and aligned with key compliance goals like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and IEC 62443. As a senior individual contributor, you’ll set the security blueprint, guide engineering and IT teams, and coordinate with external consultants to turn compliance requirements into practical, auditable controls. Reporting to the Head of Compliance, you’ll translate business risk tolerance into a clear, actionable security roadmap that keeps our products trusted and our operations safe.

Responsibilities you may be involved in include :

• Define and maintain Basis’ security architecture and roadmap, covering both product and operational domains.
• Own the security case, articulating scope, risk posture, and supporting evidence.
• Lead threat modelling and risk assessments to inform design and implementation.
• Guide and coordinate IT and operational security measures (identity & access, monitoring, incident response, staff training), working with IT Operations to ensure these are implemented effectively.
• Translate compliance goals (SOC 2, ISO 27001, IEC 62443) into actionable requirements for engineering and other teams.
• Coordinate and oversee penetration testing, vulnerability management, and vendor / third-party risk reviews.
• Support audit readiness by preparing evidence, documentation, and technical input alongside the Head of Compliance.
• Communicate risks, trade-offs, and mitigations in clear business terms to leadership.
