Become our OT Security Authority Schuberg Philis specializes in delivering mission-critical IT systems with unparalleled security, reliability, and resilience. We work closely with customers to plan, build, and run secure systems that empower industries and infrastructures. As a purpose-driven company with an engineer-focused culture, we prioritize trust, autonomy, and operational excellence.

Security, in our view, is not a barrier but a catalyst for growth. We are seeking an IT-OT Cyber Security Expert passionate about protecting mission-critical Operational Technology (OT) systems in industries such as utilities, production, and logistics. Operating at the juncture of IT and OT, this role focuses on creating robust security solutions for OT environments, while helping customers navigate the increasingly complex threat landscape.

You'll serve as a trusted advisor, helping define strategies, best practices and technology to address OT security challenges. Working closely with CISOs, customer teams, and stakeholders, you’ll ensure operational continuity while securing OT systems from current and emerging threats. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of the OT cybersecurity domain.

Responsibilities

Define scalable frameworks, methodologies, and tools for securing OT environments, enabling secure by design. Lead the design and deployment of OT-specific detection and response capabilities for mission-critical systems, addressing both basic to advanced threats. Provide strategic guidance and hands-on expertise to CISOs and customer teams in threat intelligence, risk assessments, secure by design, detection and incident response planning.

Represent Schuberg Philis as a thought leader in IT-OT security, building trust among customer teams, OT operators, and C-suite executives. Evaluate emerging OT-focused security technologies and approaches, constantly refining strategies to meet evolving threats. Advocate for security solutions that not only protect safety and reliability but also foster innovation and transformation in OT environments.

Who You Are

Extensive experience with OT environments (10+ years of experience), including industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA, and addressing their security challenges. Hands-on capability with OT-specific detection solutions, incident response, and IT-OT security operations integration. Deep understanding of the nuances of OT systems and the need to maintain operational continuity without disrupting critical services.

Skilled in identifying vulnerabilities, analyzing threat landscapes, and guiding mitigation and recovery strategies for mission-critical operations. Ability to articulate security strategies to diverse audiences, from engineers to executives, and drive operational improvements. Experience in creating scalable security standards, methodologies, and tools tailored to OT environments.

Ability to see cybersecurity as a growth driver and lead through innovation rather than compliance-focused approaches. What can you expect? At Schuberg Philis, you’ll join a community of engineers with an awesome combination of exceptionally high security standards, an infatuation with automation, and the power to make a positive, sustainable impact on customers’ business.

Due to the nature of our customer engagements, there is no pressure on (billable) hours, but we focus on quality and impact – or as we like to call it “freedom & responsibility”. You know best how to deliver the most value. You’ll also be embedded in a company committed to helping colleagues grow as people and professionals through training, opportunities for knowledge-sharing, and good old-fashioned fun.

Our offices are high-quality workspaces, and we go way beyond what is expected. We have productive equipment, good food and drinks, team outings, family days, labs to experiment with innovative technologies, etc.
