You have my attention

This is where you come in.

Tasks & responsibilities

And what is it I’ll do?

You are becoming their Security Engineer at the office in Amsterdam. You will see your Information Security team every day and will be drinking coffee with colleagues like traders, developers and technology vendors. In this job, there is a focus on “defensive” security operations and automation, but the regulatory compliance and IT risk aspects are also considered.

And from a more technical point of view?

You will automate processes and procedures to mature the security infrastructures across systems, networks and cloud environments. In order to do that, you’ll be using languages such as Powershell, Bash, Python or Go. There’s also going to be some data sets analyzing and producing of reports using tools like Regex, SQL and Python.

Candidate profile

How good do I have to be?

You can do this, because you have the ability to make frequent context switches within the security discipline. Most of the programs and languages we said before are familiar to you and you know how to work with them. You understand DNS, SSL/TLS and IP networks and the principles around secure Identity Management and Authentication are no problem for you. But above all, you enjoy the fast pace of this organization and solid working mentality you can find here.

The offer

That’s nice! But it can become even better…

That’s right, because we didn’t talk about your salary yet. But you won’t be disappointed. Starting with a base salary of up to €100.000 gross a year, excluding the secondary benefits. And those secondary benefits, are second to none. From a fully catered lunch every day and flexible working to a royal end-of-year bonus. You remember I said speed was key? What are you waiting for?
