• Industry certification is preferred, such as eJPT, eCTHP, OSCP, OSDA.
• Minimum 2+ years of experience in Information Security field, and 1+ years of SOC Analyst experience.
• Basic understanding of OS security (Windows/Linux/macOS - at least one).
• Basic understanding of cloud technologies (Azure/AWS/GCP - at least one).

• Unlimited learning opportunities: external courses, English lessons, career and leadership development.
• Education allowance covering school and kindergarten fees.
• 21 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays and fully paid sick, maternity, and paternity leave.
