Most people hit Ctrl+Z when they make a mistake. You hit Ctrl+Z and then immediately begin root cause analysis. You know your MITRE ATT&CK from your NIST CSF, your EDR from your XDR, and you’ve probably muttered ‘that’s a misconfiguration’ more times than you can count. If that sounds like you on a quiet Tuesday, imagine what you could do here.

What You’ll Need

  • Experience: 5+ years in hands-on cybersecurity roles

  • Endpoint Expertise: Proven track record with EPP, EDR, and XDR platforms in large-scale enterprise environments

  • Systems & Cloud: Working knowledge of Windows, macOS, and Linux, with practical experience in AWS, Azure, or GCP

  • SIEM/SOAR: Experience integrating and managing tools like Splunk, QRadar, or Microsoft Sentinel

  • Automation: Ability to use PowerShell, Python, or Bash to automate security workflows and reduce manual tasks

  • Compliance: Practical experience applying frameworks such as GDPR, ISO 27001, POPIA, SOC 2, and NIST CSF

  • Certifications: CompTIA Security+, CISSP, CEH, or CCNA are considered a strong advantage

If threats don’t scare you – and you’d actually prefer to find them before anyone else does, then this is your arena.

Apply and let’s see what you’re made of
