Sr Advanced Software Architect
Honeywell International, Inc., Atlanta, GA, United States
Honeywell is seeking a Senior Advanced Software Architect to help define and drive cybersecurity architecture, threat strategy, and technical direction across multiple teams and programs. This role sits within the Innovation, Architecture, and Threat Intelligence organization and serves as a senior technical authority to product development supporting secure system design, threat analysis, and cybersecurity best practices across the enterprise.
You will report directly to our Chief Architect, and you'll work out of our Atlanta, GA or Duluth, GA locations on a hybrid work schedule.
This is a hands‑on technical leadership role focused on architecture, guidance, and influence—not day‑to‑day operations or people management. You will work closely with senior engineers, architects, and product teams to ensure security is built into systems from the earliest design stages.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead design and review of secure software architectures for cloud, edge, and on‑prem platforms built in C#, .NET, Python, and modern microservice frameworks
Research advanced and emerging technologies like 5G, AI/ML and Quantum and collaborate with other architects on new cybersecurity initiatives
Ensure security best practices are integrated into modern system architectures, including containerized and microservice‑based environments
Analyze emerging cybersecurity threats and translate threat intelligence into actionable guidance for engineering teams
Conduct security assessments and risk analyses to identify vulnerabilities and recommend mitigation strategies
Partner with cross‑functional engineering and product teams to integrate security into the full development lifecycle
Serve as a senior cybersecurity subject‑matter expert for technical challenges across multiple teams and locations
Provide hands‑on technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and architects as needed
Support security incident response efforts by providing architectural and technical expertise
YOU MUST HAVE
Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics
Minimum 6 years of experience in software development in cybersecurity, security architecture, or a related technical domain
Comfort writing code (e.g., React, C#, .NET, Python) to validate security architectures, threat models, and design decisions
Demonstrated experience leading or influencing technical projects
Strong understanding of containerized and microservice‑based architectures
Strong understanding of cloud architecture and security fundamentals
Solid knowledge of cybersecurity principles, technologies, and best practices
WE VALUE
Bachelor's or Advanced Degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or another related field
Experience in Azure, AWS, or GCP cloud security services (IAM, KMS, VPC, WAF, container security, etc.)
Experience in coding AI/ML pipelines or cloud‑hosted models
Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or GIAC
Experience working in product‑based engineering environments
Prior experience acting as a senior technical advisor or architect in cybersecurity
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain security concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences
Ability to lead and influence across teams without direct management responsibility
