Cloud Solution Architect

A Wiz Solution Architect at Upright operates at the intersection of technology, architecture and trust. Your customers depend you as much as Upright depends on you. And you can always depend on Upright.

Upright Security is a boutique security partner with a clear focus

Identity and Cloud Security, done right.

We are rapidly expanding our Wiz practice and are looking for a Cloud Solution Architect (Wiz) to play a central role in that journey. This is not a supporting role on the sidelines — this is a core position for someone who wants to shape how cloud security is designed, positioned and delivered across the BeNeLux region.

You’ll work closely with Dries (Commercial Lead) and Cédric (CTO & Managing Partner) on strategic Wiz opportunities and customer implementations. Together, you’ll help organizations move from fragmented cloud security controls to clear, actionable and scalable CNAPP-driven security programs.

We work with Belgian and international customers, but remain deliberately local, personal and hands-on. No delivery factory. No ivory tower architecture. Just people who care deeply about doing cloud security right.

As Wiz Solution Architect at Upright, you will operate at the intersection of technology, architecture and trust:

• Design and architect Wiz-based cloud security solutions using Wiz Cloud, Wiz Code and Wiz Defend
• Act as the Subject Matter Expert for Wiz — internally and towards customers
• Support pre-sales activities together with Dries: scoping, workshops, demos and PoCs
• Partner closely with Cédric to translate customer needs into secure cloud architectures, roadmaps and design choices
• Work in alignment with the Wiz BeNeLux team on best practices, regional strategy and customer success
• Build long-term, trusted relationships with customers and actively support their cloud security posture
• Lead customer onboarding, configuration, tuning and integration of Wiz with:
  • Cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP)
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Existing security tooling
• Represent Upright as our Wiz Champion at events, roundtables and community initiatives

This role combines architecture depth, customer interaction and strategic influence.

We’re looking for someone who brings more than technical skills:

• Strong communication and customer intimacy
• Ownership, initiative and a proactive mindset
• Ability to simplify complex cloud topics
• Commercial awareness and comfort in pre-sales conversations
• Natural collaboration with sales, engineering and customer teams
• Curiosity and ambition to become the #1 Wiz expert in BeNeLux

Why choose Upright

We want everyone in our organization to feel at their best, both professionally and personally. That’s why we offer:

• Direct collaboration with Upright leadership (Cédric & Dries)
• A central role in shaping and scaling our Wiz practice
• Deep enablement and certification, including:
  • Official Wiz training and certifications
  • Close support from the Wiz BeNeLux team
• High-impact projects for large Belgian and international customers
• A warm, no-nonsense culture where expertise is valued and your voice matters
• Competitive salary, benefits and clear long-term growth opportunities

Upright is intentionally small. That’s how we stay sharp, human and relevant.

A small, highly specialised team that lives and breathes identity and security

Our Cloud Solution Architects are passionate about everything identity & security related. Making everything revolving around knowledge sharing and personal growth.

We collaborate to reach our mutual goals and these of our customers.

Your experience & skills

Strong technical foundation

You don’t need to be a Wiz expert on day one — Upright and Wiz will heavily enable you — but you should bring solid experience in:

• Multi-cloud environments: Azure, AWS and GCP (Azure preferred)
• Cloud security architecture and best practices (CIS, NIST, Zero Trust, CNAPP)
• Kubernetes, container security and cloud-native workloads
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, YAML)
