With a Master degree in Business Administration, (Magne Cum Laude), Oliver Quix quickly developed an interest for business, innovation and Cyber Security.

Starting in the field of Data Security and Access Management, Oliver rapidly grew into new positions of responsibility and helped 50+ MSSP’s and Integrators to develop themselves in the area of Cyber Security. As a Security project leader, he helped many companies double their resources and offerings.

After having brought countless projects to a successful end and growing partner businesses, he decided to hop over to the offensive side of Cyber Security as he strongly believes in “the best defense is a good offense”. He joined Yogosha, created many win-win partnerships and is successfully steering company growth on an international level.

Diplômée de l’ESSCA en 2016, Justine Leurent commence son aventure en startup chez Lineberty, où elle aide l’entreprise à grandir, de ses balbutiements en collaborant avec des développeurs au Costa Rica, jusqu’à son agrandissement et l’incorporation d’équipes permanentes locales.

Justine intègre ensuite fin 2016 la PME Diabolocom en tant que Product Owner. Elle participe, chez cet éditeur à la création d’une plateforme multicanale de centre de contacts, ainsi qu’à la refonte des interfaces existantes.

Elle travaille avec une quinzaine de développeurs basés en France, Roumanie et Russie.

Elle a commencé par mettre en place des méthodologies de travail avec l’équipe technique, et construire une roadmap. Elle est aujourd’hui Product Manager, c’est-à-dire garante de l’évolution de la plateforme.

Presentation

Yogosha was founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs passionate about infosec with the same ambition: to contribute to a safer world, by bridging the gap between communities who strive for the same outcome: better security. Such communities exist out of organizations, ethical hackers, CISOs, developers, security teams, etc. The vision has remained unchanged, but the company has grown a lot since its beginnings. Yogosha's headquarters are still in Paris, but with teams all over the world. In France, England, Dubai… Dozens of people strive every day to make the world a little safer. Nothing would be possible without them, so we make sure to take care of each other. This is a core value of Yogosha. And since we are talking about making things possible: Yogosha is backed by leading investors with invaluable confidence.

We think of Yogosha as a VOC – a Vulnerability Operations Center. A hub to detect, manage and fix vulnerabilities. A platform to bring together all communities – CISOs, ethical hackers, dev and sec teams... A battleground to run multiple security operations – VDP, penetration testing and bug bounty. A command center to oversee all vulnerability management strategies. A more efficient security, that is Yogosha

You don't change a winning team, but you can make it bigger. In 2022, Yogosha doubled its teams thanks to the €10M of raised funds at the beginning of the year. Today, we are a team of 40+ people.

At Yogosha, we like to think that each individual, each employee has the freedom to be who they are. You are probably saying to yourself “Yes, like all startups!” Likely, but with us it is concrete:

“Come as you are”. It sounds a bit fast foody, but we couldn't find a better way to say that everyone is welcome. We all have a different background: the important thing is to want to work in cyber security, not to have worked in the industry before..

Work where you want to live, not the other way around. If you are in Paris, there will always be someone to chat with at the office – brand new premises in the heart of Paris. Some colleagues will be there every morning, others a few days a week or full remote. What about you?

Work hard, play hard. Each month we organize events such as: Karaoke, virtual reality, theater, breakfast… We have activities for every taste. If you prefer informal meetings, there will always be a bunch of colleagues who will come with you for a drink or two – some more than others!

What they are looking for

Yogosha is looking for talented and open minded teammates in various fields (engineering, sales, marketing...). They need people who want to break cliches around the hacking world, and help make internet a safer place.

Humor and trust are fundamental values at Yogosha. The company’s whole image is built on transparency : helping clients trust the hacking world by collaborating with the best security experts.

Obviously, being attracted to technology and cybersecurity are important to work at Yogosha. But we’re mostly looking for hard-working and curious people, who aren’t afraid of challenges and responsibilities.

Good to know

To join Yogosha, you will need to :

  • Understand that hackers aren’t only criminals selling your credit card on the darknet
  • Be ready for offbeat humor
  • Buy breakfast whenever you leave your computer open without locking it 😀
