About this opportunity
At this time, Ericsson Canada Inc. does not provide immigration assistance/sponsorship now or in the future for this position.
Do you love being a champion and advocating for breaking down complex cybersecurity concepts in a way that is accessible to non-security professionals, including developers, product managers, and business leaders? We are committed to ensuring the security and privacy of our customers' data and that is at the forefront of our service. We are looking for a Security Architect to help us maintain the highest security standards across our service offering.
We are launching an exciting DevOps initiative that aims to overhaul the way we deliver solutions, using As-a-Service on public Hyper Cloud Providers (HCP) as our vehicle. Our goal is twofold: To thrill our customers by delivering services they love and giving them a competitive edge, while building a "lean and mean" product development organization which will allow Ericsson to scale at profit.
You will be challenged, but you won't be alone. You will be joining a team of diverse innovators, all driven to go beyond the status quo to craft what comes next.
If you're passionate about fostering modern security practices into product development paradigms, driving change, shaping cutting-edge technology to deliver customer value, and you get a kick about building something entirely new, we want you on board!
Ericsson Cloud Software & Services (BCSS) continues to evolve cloud native portfolio as well as explores new ways of building solutions, including enabling cloud native "as a Service" offerings. Newly established Sapper unit will ensure BCSS readiness for "as a Service" when our customers start shifting towards new networks operations models that could truly leverage the opportunities and agility cloud native deployment brings. We have chosen less traditional name for our newly acceleration unit to signal that this unit will operate differently. The name Sapper originates from a soldier that performs challenging tasks that require engineering skills, a pioneer with deep technical understanding.
With us, you will have an outstanding opportunity: The chance to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what is possible. To build never seen before solutions to some of the world's toughest problems.
