  • Review and harden server and infrastructure security configurations on an ongoing basis, contributing to hardening across cloud and on premises environments
  • Maintain and test disaster recovery and backup verification procedures with the infrastructure team, including regular DR simulations
  • Review new projects and system changes with IT and project teams to ensure they meet information security requirements before go live
  • Research and evaluate security vendors, products, and tooling to ensure robust detection, prevention, and monitoring capability
  • Implement and operate ISO 27001 Annex A technical controls in partnership with the GRC Officer, and provide control evidence for internal and certification audits
  • Support POPIA incident response with technical investigation, containment, and forensic evidence gathering

What you'll need:

  • Diploma or Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field
  • 3 to 5 years of hands on experience in cybersecurity engineering, SOC, or IT security roles
  • Proven experience in security monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management
  • Experience managing endpoint protection platforms, SIEM systems, and security tooling
  • Exposure to cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP) and cloud security practices
  • Familiarity with threat frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
  • Proficiency in Windows OS, Entra ID/Azure AD, and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP)
  • Knowledge of firewalls, networks, and security architecture
  • Scripting experience (BASH, Python) is advantageous
  • Working knowledge of ISP operations and procedures is advantageous
  • Desirable certifications: CompTIA Security+, Microsoft SC 200 (Security Operations Analyst) or AZ 500 (Azure Security Engineer), CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker); CISSP or CISM advantageous as a growth path

What we offer:

  • Exposure to a dynamic workplace
  • A chance to grow your skills through our internal academy

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
