• Apply your strong security expertise to secure our exciting tech stack: AWS, Kubernetes, and so on.

• Collaborate with other teams from Developers to Ops engineers: be a part of a team that doesn’t just “create tickets” but directly contributes to improving the system.

• Contribute in autonomy to the security of the system: identify vulnerabilities, perform PoC, build mitigation, and detection rules,

• Grow your career: the team is relatively small and in construction, so there are a lot of opportunities and things to do!
