About the Role
Our IT / Information Security team keeps Qt Group secure as the company scales across its product lines — Qt Framework, Qt Design Studio, Squish, Coco and Axivion — and integrates IAR Systems into the group. We own the corporate security landscape end to end, from endpoint and identity through to the ISMS and the regulatory obligations our customers depend on.
As Senior Security Specialist you will operate our core security controls, drive our ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS forward, and turn regulatory change into concrete action. This is a hands-on senior role reporting into IT leadership, working closely with IT Operations, R&D, Legal, People & Culture, and our external partners and auditors.

- Lead vulnerability management and act as a key responder in our security incident response process, including post-incident reviews
- Maintain and evolve our ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS — policies, risk assessments, Statement of Applicability — and support internal and external audits

- Track regulatory change (CRA, NIS2, CMMC Level 2, GDPR, ISO/IEC 42001) and translate it into action, partnering with Legal and the DPO
- Support colleagues across Qt Group on security questions and customer security questionnaires, and run security awareness activities
What You Bring to the Table
- 5–8 years of hands-on experience in information or cyber security, ideally in corporate IT or a multi-site technology company, with a degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience

- Hands-on experience with identity platforms (Entra ID), endpoint security, firewalls and VPN/SASE, plus AWS and Microsoft 365 security tooling (Defender, Purview, Intune)
- Working knowledge of ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls and GDPR
- A builder's mindset — you own problems end to end, weigh risk against business impact, and stay calm under incident conditions
- Strong collaboration skills and clear written and spoken English; you can work with R&D, Legal, Sales and customers alike
Bonus Points For...
- Familiarity with CRA, NIS2, CMMC Level 2 or ISO/IEC 42001
