We’re a global mix of curious minds, problem-solvers, and passionate builders, all united by one goal: making the internet a safer place for everyone. Around here, we thrive on vision, energy, and a strong sense of ownership.

If this feels like your kind of crew, you’ll probably fit right in.

• Strong background in incident response, threat hunting, and log analysis.
• Proficiency with SIEM, EDR, and other security monitoring technologies.
• Solid knowledge of network security, endpoint protection, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP preferred). Experience automating repetitive security workflows (Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., OSCP, GCIA, GCIH, CISSP, or equivalent) are highly desirable.
• Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills.

• A leadership role driving the company’s internal security operations.
• An environment that values ownership, expertise, and continuous innovation.
