Job description

As an IT Security Analyst (all genders) in the Security Operations Center (SOC), you are part of the operational cyber defence team and are responsible for the analysis, assessment and processing of security events in a state-of-the-art security environment. You work at the heart of our SOC organisation and ensure that threats are detected early, correctly classified and handled in a targeted manner. In doing so, you support our customers in ongoing security operations, particularly in incident handling, threat analysis and proactive threat hunting.

What you can expect from us

  • Tailored onboarding with a personal mentor – with us, you won't be thrown in at the deep end. Unless you want to be.
  • No day like any other: Demanding, varied, autonomous – but never boring.
  • Flat hierarchies instead of a tangle of red tape. Just say it directly.
  • Flexibility just the way you need it: hybrid working, flexible hours, additional holiday days – this is our living reality.
  • Modernly equipped offices: Height-adjustable desks, dual monitors, quiet spaces and open spaces – just how you like it.
  • JobRad & Team Spirit: Whether racing bike or e-bike – we’ll sort you out with your new set of wheels. And yes, sport is something we also celebrate together (sponsorship included!).
  • Pension provision? We’ve got it covered. Specifically with a subsidy. Perfectly equipped for the future.
  • Our corporate benefits invite you to shop and experience.
