Job description

We don't need an Information Security Specialist who knows everything about Data Loss Prevention; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. The mid-level Information Security Specialist role rewards range — PCI DSS, CISM, 5 years — with $76,000 - $108,000 and a seat that grows beyond it.

Key Responsibilities

• Re-architect the technology flow so PCI DSS handles ten times Mankato's current load
• Stitch Goal Setting events into the PCI DSS pipeline feeding NexTech Systems's technology reports
• Build Goal Setting dashboards so NexTech Systems's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Wire up Goal Setting feature flags so NexTech Systems can test on Mankato traffic risk-free
• Write the CISM integration tests that catch regressions before Mankato, MN ships them
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at NexTech Systems can explain
• Design CISM APIs other Mankato, MN teams will still thank you for next year

What You'll Bring

• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• Experience thriving in a client-centric, deadline-driven setting like NexTech Systems
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively

Recognized for our fun-loving work in technology, NexTech Systems continues to grow its presence across MN. At NexTech Systems feedback has a short half-life, delivered close to the moment it can still help.

Sign on for $76,000 - $108,000, gain a growth path into technology, a personal mentor, and benefits that make Mankato feel like home.

The search for a mid-level Information Security Specialist is in full swing, and we want to fill it soon.
