Full description
The relentless fight against cybercrime is our daily mission. Our Security team is on the frontlines, building a robust defense system with solid security tools and vigilant monitoring. We don’t just react — we proactively engineer a layered security posture with strong processes and training programs to make passive defenses our first line of attack.
Each day, we leverage a powerful arsenal of industry-trusted security solutions, including, but not limited to, EDR/XDR, MDM, HIDS, NIDS, DLP, or SOAR solutions. We collect threat intelligence information and absorb it in our systems to strengthen our company’s security posture and prevent cybersecurity incidents.
If you want to:
- Design, configure, and fine-tune security alerts across cloud platforms, firewalls, servers, and endpoints;
- Own and optimize host-based intrusion detection and cloud monitoring tools, ensuring they operate efficiently;
- Track threat intel, vulnerability feeds, and security news to stay ahead of emerging risks;
- Assess new threats against our current security posture. Work with teams to implement fixes and config changes to protect the organisation;
- Monitor and investigate alerts, distinguish between genuine security incidents and false positives before escalating to specialized teams.
And you can check off:
- SOC experience in Threat Intelligence or Detection Engineering;
- Strong querying skills: write complex queries in KQL, SQL, SPL, or Lucene. Not only relying on pre-built dashboards;
- Scripting in Python or Bash. Automate triage tasks, interact with security APIs, deploy custom detections;
- Experience writing detection rules and alerts for HIDS, SIEM, or cloud workload protection platforms;
- Understanding logging architecture in cloud, next-gen firewalls, and Linux;
- Hands-on experience with enterprise XDR/EDR;
- Analytical mindset. Fast, accurate triage to reduce alert fatigue;
- You regularly consume threat intel and turn it into defensive action.
Here’s the deal:
- Growth and learning opportunities: time dedicated to learning, conferences, online learning platforms, and books for your professional development;
- Health and wellness: we want you to feel and be your best. That's why we offer various benefits, from online workouts and a physical coach to health insurance and regular mental health checks;
- Tools of your choice: choose the technical equipment and tools you need to do your best work;
- Community and celebrations: get ready for long-lasting traditions such as yearly workation, Friday get-togethers, various team buildings and company celebrations;
- Work-life balance: We encourage working in the office, with the possibility of up to two remote days per week. Plus, with our WFA policy, you can work from almost anywhere in the world;
- More days off: additional vacation days depending on your tenure;
- Premium Surfshark accounts: for you, your family, and friends;
- Gross salary: 3000 - 6000 Eur/month. Although it may vary depending on your skills and experience.
