Blykalla is building advanced nuclear technology, and that requires information and cyber security that works in practice. We are now looking for an Information Security Officer who will play a key role in shaping how information security is structured, implemented, and continuously improved across the organisation.

The role sits with the COO in the Operational Excellence team and focuses on cyber security, the digital workspace, collaboration tools, cloud environments, and product-related information flows. The task is to help ensure that information security enables efficient work while meeting export control, regulatory, and national security requirements, in close collaboration with legal, IT, engineering, and management.

What we do at Blykalla

Blykalla is developing the next generation of nuclear technology with our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) based on innovative fuel, materials, and reactor designs. As Sweden’s only SMR developer, we are on a mission to decarbonize industries and enable safe, scalable, and sustainable energy solutions. Our technology uses uranium nitride fuel and lead coolant, creating novel challenges and opportunities for the fuel cycle and supporting systems.

What you’ll get to do

Set and improve information and cyber security in daily operations

• Play a key role in further developing how information security is implemented across our digital workspace and product-related information, with a practical focus on cyber security.

• Stay closely connected to systems and workflows to understand practical constraints and risks, while working together with IT and engineering teams to implement appropriate solutions.

• Maintain and further develop the organisation’s information security and privacy framework so that it reflects operational reality and fulfils regulatory requirements and business needs.

Translate regulatory and export control requirements into workable security

• Work together with legal and management to translate export control, data protection, and other regulatory requirements into clear, actionable security practices and technical guardrails for everyday work.

• Support compliance with applicable Swedish and EU regulations, including the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), through practical and proportionate measures.

• Contribute to preparations for external audits, regulatory reviews, and assurance activities related to information security standards.

Support security risk, incidents, and resilience

• Maintain and continuously improve the organisation’s overview of information security risk, helping define acceptable risk levels, mitigation needs, and escalation paths.

• Drive preparedness for and response to information security incidents, including coordination, regulatory interaction where required, and follow-up actions.

• Drive continuous improvements in security posture and resilience based on incidents, assessments, and changes in the threat landscape.

Coordinate security across teams, products, and external providers

• Act as a central coordination point for information security across engineering, operations, legal, IT, and management.

• Contribute to setting direction for security aspects related to products, platforms, and supporting infrastructure, including PLM, secure development practices, vulnerability handling, and information security across the product lifecycle.

• Work together with external digital and cloud service providers on security requirements and follow-up, ensuring external dependencies remain controlled and fit for purpose.

Who you are

This role suits someone who combines sound judgement with experience in cyber and information security. You bring a pragmatic approach to security, while keeping solutions practical and workable. You understand the need to balance security, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency in a growing organisation. As Blykalla continues to develop, the scope and depth of the role will evolve over time.

Qualifications

We believe you bring experience in several of the following areas:

• Practical experience working with information and cyber security, ideally in regulated or security-sensitive environments.

• A technical background in IT, cloud infrastructure, or secure system

• Experience implementing security controls and ways of working, not only defining policies and frameworks.

• Familiarity with regulatory and assurance-driven environments, such as export control, data protection, or critical infrastructure regulation.

• Experience collaborating with engineering teams, IT, legal functions, and external service providers.

• Fluency in English; Swedish is an advantage.

• Eligibility to work with sensitive and controlled information in Sweden.
