At Materialise Medical, we believe that better healthcare starts with solutions designed around the individual patient. 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.
Our platform leverages a cloud-native architecture on AWS, with an increasing adoption of containerized workloads orchestrated by Kubernetes and supported by DevOps practices. We are actively progressing the migration of legacy applications and further strengthening our operational and architectural foundations to improve scalability, reliability, and maintainability over time. The platform processes sensitive medical data and operates under strict regulatory requirements, requiring compliance with recognized cybersecurity standards and medical device regulations. You will work closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams to proactively identify risks, define security requirements, and implement best practices that protect our systems, data, and users. You will also play a key role in supporting audits and regulatory processes, contributing to required documentation, and ensuring that security controls are clearly defined, effectively implemented, and fully traceable.

- Strong understanding of security principles (authentication, authorization, cryptography, secure APIs)
- Conducted threat modeling using STRIDE, mapped threats to CAPEC and CWE, and applied CVSS scoring to prioritize remediation efforts
- Familiarity with security tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container security, etc.)
- Knowledge of cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence engineering, product, and leadership without direct authority
- Analytical thinking and problem-solving mindset
- Comfortable communicating security risks, decisions, and strategy to senior leadership
- Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CSSLP)
- Experience with medical device cybersecurity standards (e.g., IEC81001-5-1, MDCG 2019-16, section 524B(b)(2) of the FDA act)
