Monitor and improve SaaS security posture, identifying risks such as identity drift or third-party access issues
Develop and enhance detection use cases within SIEM and contribute to SOAR automation workflows
Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to implement security guardrails and enforce best practices
Support shift-left security initiatives by integrating security into infrastructure pipelines (IaC, CI/CD)
Contribute to continuous improvement through automation, documentation, and knowledge sharing

What you bring

Hands-on experience securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure and/or GCP), including IAM, networking and workload protection
Strong understanding of cloud threat detection and attacker techniques (e.g., credential abuse, lateral movement, misconfiguration exploitation)
Experience with CNAPP/CSPM platforms (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Lacework or similar)
Proven ability to manage security incidents end-to-end, from investigation to containment and reporting
Experience designing or working with event-driven detection and SIEM/SOAR environments
Knowledge of microservices and cloud-native architectures, with a focus on scalability and resilience
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CI/CD, GitOps) and shift-left security practices
Scripting or automation skills (e.g., Python or similar)
Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to explain technical findings to non-security stakeholders

What we offer

We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
