Secure What Moves the World and Automate It

Surya Technologies

Principal IT/OT Security Architect

This isnt a clipboard-and-checklist kind of role. You’ll build solutions that scale — powered by code, infused with AI-driven observability, and designed to run on the plant floor with the same reliability as a CNC machine.

What You’ll Do

• Architect converged

  IT/OT security solutions

  that are scalable, secure, and automation-ready
• Use

  infrastructure-as-code

  (IaC) principles to define network, sensor, and control plane configurations — versioned, peer-reviewed, repeatable
• Integrate

  AI-powered observability

  platforms like Datadog or Defender for IoT for anomaly detection and visibility
• Lead

  zero trust

  architecture projects for OT — combining microsegmentation, NAC, and managed detection
• Build

  automated compliance frameworks

  for CMMC, NIST 800-171, and IEC 62443 — transforming audits from nightmares into workflows
• Develop standard deployment patterns that enable your work to scale across 50+ factories
• Partner with Surya’s automation and platform engineering teams to build tools, APIs, and templates that replace manual configuration
• Represent Surya in technical conversations with CIOs, plant engineers, and auditors — helping each group understand the mission in their own language
• Serve as the

  technical backbone

  of the manufacturing practice, mentoring future engineers and shaping go-to-market solutions

What You Bring

• 7+ years in cybersecurity, industrial networking, or automation architecture
• Experience in designing and deploying

  secure industrial networks

  — VLANs, firewalls, switches, segmented zones
• Proficiency in tools like

  Claroty, Defender for IoT, Nozomi

  , and

  Tenable.ot

• Comfortable writing and reviewing

  YAML, Terraform, or Ansible playbooks

  for infrastructure or security automation
• Familiar with using

  AI/ML tools

  or anomaly detection engines in monitoring pipelines
• Strong understanding of compliance frameworks (CMMC, NIST, ISO, IEC 62443) and how to translate them into

  codified technical controls

• Passion for

  turning security into a platform

  , not just a service — if you’ve ever turned an SOW into a repo, you belong here
• Comfortable in a hard hat and a hoodie — you can talk to both an OT technician and a CISO

Why This Role Matters

build the playbook

architect behind secure, smart, and scalable factories
