What we’d like you to do

Monitor, triage and investigate security alerts and incidents using SIEM, SOAR and XDR platforms, ensuring timely detection and response.

Lead incident response end-to-end: containment, eradication, recovery, root-cause analysis, lessons learned and post-incident reporting, including coordination of notification obligations when personal data is involved.

Develop, tune and maintain detection rules, queries, dashboards and automation playbooks (e.g., YARA-L rules in Google SecOps SIEM, SOAR playbooks) to improve coverage and reduce false positives, working alongside our external SOC team.

Perform proactive threat hunting based on threat intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK techniques and anomalies in logs and endpoint telemetry.

Monitor and respond to security risks in Google Workspace and Google Cloud, as well as in advertising platforms such as Google Ads, including account-compromise scenarios.

Carry out security and compliance assessments of suppliers, third-party tools and AI systems (including AI agents), issuing clear risk-based recommendations.

Run vulnerability management and security-posture reviews, prioritizing remediation based on risk.

Prepare reports, metrics and KPIs for management and audit purposes, and promote security awareness across the organization.

Contribute to the maintenance of the ISMS: security policies, procedures, risk assessments, risk treatment plans, internal audits and non-conformity follow-up under ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Support compliance with GDPR and the EU AI Act, working with the DPO and Legal on privacy-by-design, DPIAs and data-sharing reviews.

Mentor junior team members and help define security best practices and standards.

What we’d like you to bring

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Telecommunications Engineering or equivalent experience.

Hands-on experience with XDR solutions (e.g., SentinelOne, CrowdStrike).

Proven experience handling security incidents in cloud and SaaS environments (Google Workspace, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365).

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to document findings clearly and communicate risk to both technical and non-technical audiences.
