About the role:

We are looking for someone who can provide insight and recommendations into the Avara security architecture, as well as execute and support that plan. The ICT and Security Team work as one unit within Avara due to the amount of overlapping responsibilities and the size of our team, meaning everything that we do in ICT has a strong consideration for information security, and vice versa. This role reports into the CISO.

• Aiding Devops with securing our cloud and SDLC
• Aiding in on and off boarding through the JLM (joiners, leavers, movers) process
• Trial and architect new systems that we are thinking about adding to our infosec stack
• Aid in Crisis management events

Let’s connect if:

• Experience in security operations and SIEM tools
• Experience with cloud-based architectures and securing them
• Experience working in start-ups
• A minimum of 3 years of experience
• Both technically and conceptually strong with security fundamentals
