  • Comprehensive Security Knowledge: Expertise in risk management, data protection, and implementing security controls and threat management strategies.
  • Hands-On Experience: Significant experience with security tooling, including SAST, DAST, and SIEM, to effectively test and manage security.
  • Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to assess complex security scenarios and make informed, strategic decisions.
  • Excellent Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to interact with both internal teams and external partners, ensuring clear and effective communication.
  • Certifications: Industry standard security certifications (e.g., CompTIA, CCSP, CISSP) are a plus but not required.
  • Collaborative Spirit: Experience working with third-party partners for compliance audits, certification assessments, and penetration testing.


Who You Are:

  • Motivated and Eager: You’re passionate about learning new skills and tackling challenging security issues in a growing company.
  • Problem-Solver: You thrive on solving complex security challenges and are keen to make a significant impact.
