SECURITY ARCHITECT (F/M/D)

Job Description

We are looking for a Security Architect to join our IT Architecture team and help shape secure technology solutions across the Group. In this role, you will bridge the gap between cybersecurity requirements and their practical implementation in technology by helping to determine how security should be effectively embedded into architecture, software engineering and infrastructure practices. As a critical player in the energy sector, we place strong emphasis on cybersecurity resilience and operational reliability to support our commitments to customers and the continuity of critical energy infrastructure. If that speaks to you, we’d be happy to welcome you to our team!

Take YOUR part in #EnergySmart!

You will contribute to the creation of a secure and green energy ecosystem by:

• Shaping, owning and continuously improving IT and OT security architecture principles, standards and reusable solution patterns, covering network security and segmentation, secure connectivity, identity and access management, and IT/OT integration
• Embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from solution design through development, testing and deployment, and driving the integration of standardized and automated security controls into CI/CD pipelines and engineering practices
• Assessing the security architecture of new and changing IT and OT solutions and defining proportionate, technically sound and practically implementable approaches to managing identified risks
• Translating cybersecurity requirements and identified risks into practical architecture and technical solutions
• As part of the IT architecture team, collaborating closely with cybersecurity specialists, software engineering teams, infrastructure and network engineers, and other technology professionals to shape secure and practical technology solutions
• Strengthening secure software engineering capabilities by bringing the cybersecurity perspective into the engineering community and promoting secure development practices across teams

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant IT experience, including hands-on responsibility for designing and implementing technical solutions in software engineering, infrastructure or security engineering
• Demonstrated experience in designing secure technical architectures and translating security requirements into implementable engineering solutions, including security controls embedded into infrastructure, software development or delivery processes
• Ability to design and assess secure infrastructure, cloud, network, identity and access management solutions
• Ability to assess cybersecurity risks and define proportionate, technically sound and practically implementable security solutions
• Good understanding of cybersecurity regulations and standards, with the ability to translate requirements into practical technical solutions
• Ability to independently make and defend architecture decisions and reach pragmatic solutions across technology and cybersecurity teams
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex security topics to both cybersecurity and technology professionals

Would be an advantage:

• Experience with security tooling in CI/CD pipelines, policy-as-code, threat modelling, IAM/PAM, Azure security solutions, or OT/ICS security standards.

Additional Information

• A package of additional benefits to choose from: pension accumulation, health insurance, or another benefit from the selectable benefits list in the MELP application
• Additional paid days for health improvement, short-term illness, volunteering, and accumulated work experience
• A hybrid work model (3+2) and flexible working hours
• Internal career opportunities
• Extensive learning and qualification enhancement programs
• Mentorship-based culture designed to facilitate meaningful and value-driven work
• Take part in an unfolding energy transformation process to create a 100% secure and green energy ecosystem for both current and future generations
