Salary: 50.000 - 65.000 € per year Requirements: We require several years of proven hands-on experience in IT solution architecture, infrastructure engineering, and implementation, with a strong focus on OT environments. In-depth knowledge of cybersecurity principles across both IT and OT domains is essential. Candidates should have strong expertise in network and security technologies, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, VLAN, and encryption, along with experience with industrial control system protocols. A deep understanding of cloud architecture, specifically within the Azure ecosystem, is necessary. Excellent analysis and problem-solving skills, strong communication and relationship skills to work effectively across teams, and the ability to communicate complex technical information to all stakeholders are crucial. Proficiency in written and verbal German and English is required. Preferred qualifications include experience in energy or utilities infrastructure, familiarity with the latest security frameworks and standards (NIST, ISO/IEC 27001), and experience with application hosting and architecture in an Azure cloud environment, including knowledge of IaC (e.g., Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines. Responsibilities: As a Solution Architect, I will engage in a range of activities. My role will involve working on infrastructure architecture projects, designing bespoke network solutions, reviewing and approving application emergency recovery plans, and creating tailored solution architecture, including hosting environment, data integration, and resilience for onboarding new applications. A solid background in embedding security principles and assessing vulnerabilities will be key, particularly since a significant portion of the architecture work takes place in a hybrid IT/OT environment involving critical infrastructure. I will design secure solutions, developing architectures, solutions, and services tailored for IT and IT/OT environments, ensuring the protection of both operational and information systems. I will proactively conduct risk and threat analysis to identify vulnerabilities and implement measures to mitigate security risks in industrial settings. Collaboration is vital, as I will work closely with IT and OT teams to integrate requirements into operational systems. I will evaluate and recommend tools and technologies that cater to the specific needs of IT/OT convergence and ensure all solutions and processes comply with relevant regulations and standards, such as NIS2, particularly in the energy and utilities sector.
