Cyber Security Engineer – Vulnerability & Architecture (OT/IT)

Boliden is a high-tech metals company with its own mines and smelters that works long-term to guarantee society's access to base and precious metals. For a century, our work has been part of the value chains that have shaped modern society. At Boliden, we know that the metals we mine and make available will continue to play a crucial role in the future – what matters is how we produce them. Become a part of us and drive change for generations to come.

Do you want to secure critical industrial operations where cyber security directly impacts safety, production, and sustainability?

As a Cyber Security Engineer at Boliden, you will design and implement robust security solutions, reduce vulnerabilities, and safeguard both IT and OT environments. You will help ensure that production-critical systems are resilient, reliable, and built for the future.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Your opportunity

In this role, you will lead engineering- and architecture-driven risk reduction across complex IT and OT environments, with ownership of the vulnerability management capability and its evolution across tools, processes, and architecture.

You will translate threat and vulnerability insights into architectural patterns, hardening strategies, and risk-based remediation roadmaps. Working closely with IT, OT, and business stakeholders, you will influence decisions and ensure security is embedded by design across initiatives and projects.

As a key partner in cross-functional delivery, you will help steer initiatives from a security engineering perspective—balancing technical depth, pragmatism, and scalability—while collaborating with adjacent functions such as incident response, SOC, and threat intelligence.

Who you will work with

You will report to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and play a key role within Boliden’s Group-wide security function, contributing to safeguarding our operations, people, and sustainable future through robust IT and information security.

The position is preferably based in Stockholm or in Boliden but can also be located at any of our operational sites. Regular travel to sites will be required, along with occasional visits to other Boliden locations.

What you will do

• Own and continuously develop the organization’s vulnerability management capability, including tools, processes, and architecture.
• Identify, assess, and manage vulnerabilities across IT and OT environments, driving risk-based and sustainable remediation.
• Define and guide secure architectures, standards, and security-by-design principles across solutions and projects.
• Provide hands-on technical support and act as a trusted advisor in security design, configuration, and issue resolution.
• Lead and coordinate patching and remediation efforts, ensuring compliance and reducing long-term risk exposure.
• Track, report, and improve security posture through KPIs, risk insights, and continuous maturity development.

 What you bring

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across IT, OT, and business functions.
• Strong engineering mindset, with the ability to design scalable, secure, and practical solutions.
• Solid understanding of IT/OT architectures, security controls, and modern attack methodologies.
• Ability to translate risk into clear technical decisions and architectural improvements.
• Analytical and solution-oriented, with a structured approach and strong problem-solving capability.
• Continuous learning mindset, with a proactive approach to emerging threats and technologies
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
• Fluent English, both written and spoken; Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, or Portuguese is an advantage.
• A valid EU Category B driving licence, as the role involves regular travel to our sites.
