Cloud Data Security Architect

Join us in this role where you’ll play a key role in improving the security posture of Ørsted’s modern cloud data platform on Azure and AWS by supporting development teams, application architects, and leadership in making the right choices and prioritizations regarding security.

Welcome to the Ørsted Data Ecosystem
You’ll be part of cloud data platform security where you, together with your colleagues, will enables all of Ørsted to easily, securely, and reliably generate value from data. Our Ørsted Data Ecosystem is a cloud-based data platform facilitating the collection, processing, and consumption of data from all Ørsted’s business units and making it available to analysts, data scientists, and machine learning models.

As a team, we collaborate closely with leadership, application architects, and developers to continuously improve the security and compliance of the data platform.

You’ll play an important role in:

• Shaping the way we securely extract, store, and process data from critical energy infrastructure.

• Crafting a secure and compliant cloud data platform spanning Azure and AWS that meets organizational and regulatory standards and policies.

• Translating regulatory and centrally defined security requirements into a form that is understandable and actionable for our teams.

• Evangelizing security best practices, guidelines, and blueprints to the teams developing and using the Ørsted Data Ecosystem platform.

• Improving the regulatory compliance (e.g. NIS2) of the data platform..

To succeed in the role, you:

• Extensive experience in cloud architecture and data architecture (e.g., data lake, cloud data warehouse, Kubernetes, Kafka, cloud networks)

• Strong grasp of fundamental architectural principles, security control standards, and how to apply these in documented designs and security measures
• Solid experience in applying processes, risk assessment, governance, according to security information frameworks such like NIST 800-53 and government regulations (e.g. NIS2)
• Experience in securing deployments in the cloud (ideally both on Azure and AWS)
• Good inter-personal and communication skills that allow you to work with teams to improve their security posture while they work towards their goals.
• An eye for the right level of security (factoring in cost, value, and risk), so you never let perfect be the enemy of good.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
