Senior/Principal Security Architect (OT/IT, PKI, Container & Perimeter Security)
Senior/Principal contract role in Munich for a security architect/engineer focused on perimeter and infrastructure security for an IIDC hub and self-service portal, including secure connectivity to a message broker and customer/manufacturer networks. The role requires strong network segmentation and trust-zone design, reverse proxy/TLS termination, OT-IT integration, Linux and container hardening (Docker/Kubernetes), API and service-to-service identity, PKI/X.509 operations (mTLS, EST, CA, PKCS#11/HSM), MQTT authZ/ACLs, supply-chain security (SBOM, signing, CI/CD secrets, offline updates), and operational security (logging/monitoring/IR). Candidate should be able to write/review Python/FastAPI backend code with tests and read embedded C to validate interfaces; experience with CRA risk assessment and technical documentation is required.
