Cyber Security Consultant – Product Security & Regulatory Compliance (m/f/d)

A company in the medical technology sector is looking for an experienced Cyber Security Consultant to act as an independent advisor at the interface between software architecture, DevOps, and regulatory affairs. The project's goal is the development and securing of innovative digital health products (Software as a Medical Device / Connected Devices). The position includes purely expert consulting, technical assessments, and delivery of validated security artifacts, without operational management decisions. The focus is on translating regulatory requirements (FDA, MDR, EU CRA, NIS2) into technical solutions and objectively assessing security risks.

• Holistic Threat Modeling: Conducting STRIDE-based analyses for APIs, cloud-native services, AI components, and CI/CD pipelines, and maintaining formal threat model reports.
• Security Architecture & Design: Creating technical data flow diagrams (DFD) and Security Architecture Review Reports to document security decisions in cloud and container environments.
• DevSecOps & Supply Chain Security: Advising on hardening CI/CD pipelines, implementing "security-by-default", and managing SBOM artifacts (third-party risk).
• Penetration Testing Support: Defining scopes for pen tests and fuzzing, as well as expert validation of results and CVSS scores.
• Vulnerability Management: Assessing vulnerabilities (vulnerability impact assessments) and creating remediation plans.
• Audit Preparation: Compiling technical evidence and documentation for regulatory submissions (FDA, MDR, MDS2).

• Completed degree (computer science, cyber security, engineering).
• 5–8+ years project experience in product security, application security, or security architecture.
• Excellent knowledge in threat modeling (STRIDE, PASTA), risk assessments (CVSS), and secure SDLC.
• Deep expertise in cloud security (Azure/AWS), containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), API security, and CI/CD toolchains.
• Experience with AI/ML security is a plus.
• Proven experience with medical technology standards (FDA Cybersecurity Guidelines, EU MDR, ISO 14971, IEC 62304) or comparable critical norms (ISO 21434, IEC 62443).
• Ability to drive technical topics independently as an advisor, with a structured, "audit-ready" documentation approach.
• Fluent English (C1/C2) is mandatory (project and documentation language).
• Fluent German (B2/C1) is desirable.
• Relevant certificates like CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP, CISM, or OSCP are strongly desired.
