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 work
