Technical Depth: High proficiency in Intrusion Detection, Exploit Dev, Linux Operations and Security Understanding

Security Architecture: Proven ability to identify gaps in cloud designs and recommend enhancements for authentication, authorization, and bastion host setups.

Communication: Ability to distill complex security risks into actionable insights for both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.

Autonomy: Proven track record of managing large projects with complex deliverables and foreseeing potential roadblocks before they manifest.

Standout Qualities:

Certifications: Possession of industry-recognized credentials such as CISSP, Google Security Engineer or GIAC.

Operational Excellence: Deep hands-on experience with (Open Source) SIEM solutions and Google Security Operations or Google Security Command Center

Philosophy: You view security not just as a job, but as a craft; you balance strict security principles with the pragmatic needs of the business.

Team Dynamics:

Leadership: You will report to Swen Groeneveld, Head of Security Operations

The Squad: You will join a high-performing 14-member team consisting of AppSec and Compliance specialists.

Role Level: This is a Senior level role, requiring you to lead people you do not directly manage.

Our Work Style:

Tech Stack: GCP, Kubernetes (k8s), Terraform, Linux, Rapid7, Tenable, and SIEM platforms.

Methodology: Performance-driven environment utilizing Scrum-based processes, including biweekly and quarterly planning.

Environment: Hybrid work mode.
