If you’re passionate about bringing personalized care to every patient, you’ll love being a part of this team. Through the technology we develop, researchers, engineers, and clinicians are revolutionizing personalized treatment — helping improve and save lives daily. 

We are looking for a Product Security Architect to lead the design and implementation of secure architectures across our products, including Materialise Mimics Flow — a cloud-based platform operating in a regulated medical device environment. This role ensures that security is embedded throughout the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept and design through development, deployment, and maintenance. 

Job description

Our platform leverages a cloud-native architecture on AWS, with an increasing adoption of containerized workloads orchestrated by Kubernetes and supported by DevOps practices.
