Overview: 

We are seeking an experienced and highly Operational Technology Security Solution Architect to join our Business Technology (BT) organization. This role is crucial in implementing and maintaining robust security measures for Bunge's critical industrial control systems and operational environments. The Engineer will focus on the execution, analysis, and support of OT security solutions, translating architectural designs into practical, secure implementations.

The Operational Technology Security Solution Architect will be responsible for the hands-on implementation and operationalization of the OT Security Architecture Strategy, working within established roadmaps and utilizing selected tools and approaches derived from industrial security best practices. This individual will actively contribute to the introduction and continuous improvement of security solutions for OT environments, collaborating closely with Enterprise Architects, IT/OT teams, Engineering, and Operations to ensure alignment and effective security posture.

Main Accountabilities:

• Implement, configure, and maintain scalable, efficient, and secure OT security solutions and platforms for threat detection, vulnerability management, and incident response, ensuring global readiness.
• Contribute to the advancement and implementation of OT security frameworks and solutions across Bunge's complex and global industrial infrastructure, ensuring robustness, compliance, and continuous improvement.
• Utilize in-depth technical expertise to analyze complex OT security problems and support the delivery of solutions, even in novel situations where clear precedents may not exist.
• Design, implement, debug, and monitor the performance of OT security solutions, ensuring optimal functionality and responsiveness.
• Document implemented solutions, configurations, and contribute to best practice knowledge within the OT security domain.
• Regularly communicate the features, benefits, and operational status of security solutions to internal partners, customers, and other stakeholders.
• Provide technical guidance and support to project teams and colleagues on OT security implementations and best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in proof-of-concept activities to validate technical designs and solution effectiveness.
• Actively contribute to the team's security initiatives, offering a valuable perspective during solution review and validation processes.
• Contribute to efforts aimed at optimizing the efficiency and security of implemented solutions and processes.
• Provide technical insights and support to help business and technology leaders understand, apply, and operationalize existing and emerging technologies for secure automation.
• Implement and configure security solutions, develop and maintain platforms/tools for automating OT security processes (e.g., vulnerability scanning, configuration compliance checks), and support integration of security tools with existing OT/IT infrastructure.
• Support the implementation of the technical roadmap for OT security solutions in collaboration with OT, IT, and Security teams, contributing to security architecture designs and overseeing accurate implementation of security controls.
• Conduct analyses of OT security risks and vulnerabilities, documenting findings and proposing remediation strategies for industrial control systems, SCADA, PLCs, network segmentation, and Active Directory in OT environments.
• Stay abreast of the latest technology trends, developments, advancements, and best practices in OT security, industrial cybersecurity threats, relevant compliance frameworks (e.g., IEC 62443, NIST CSF for OT), and emerging security technologies.
• Implement and maintain OT security automation tools, policies, and security data strategies.

  Education/Experience: 

• Typically Bachelor's degree with  4- 10 years of position-related experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience. This includes in-depth knowledge of OT security principles and practices, along with hands-on experience in operational technology security roles.
• 4+ years of experience in vulnerability management tools for OT (e.g., Nozomi, Claroty, Armis), OT-specific EDR solutions, industrial firewalls, secure network segmentation, or similar tools.
• Demonstrated experience creating analyses of alternatives and presenting to stakeholders for buy-in and consensus.
• Strong understanding of OT network protocols (e.g., Modbus, OPC UA, DNP3), secure API integration for OT platforms, and database security within industrial environments.
• 4+ years of experience in OT Security Solution Architect roles with end-to-end security solution implementation and operational experience for industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA) environments.
