Defend the Core: We are looking for an IT Security Engineer (m/w/d)

Are you tired of just writing security policies that end up in a drawer? Do you want to build actual fortresses and hunt down threats before they can do any damage? Then you belong right here.

We are recruiting on behalf of our renowned client to find a true defender of the digital realm. Cyber threats are evolving every day, and we need someone who stays one step ahead. As an IT Security Engineer (m/w/d), you won't just be ticking compliance boxes; you will be the shield that protects sophisticated, critical IT infrastructures from modern attacks.

• Secure by Design: You collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to integrate secure configurations right from the start of new projects.
• Incident Response: When the alarm bells ring, you coordinate the response, neutralize the threat, and ensure it doesn't happen again.

• Deep understanding of modern attack vectors, risk management, and the latest security standards.
• Strong expertise in network security, firewalls, encryption, and endpoint protection.
• ️ Familiarity with security monitoring tools and incident response methodologies.
• ️ Communication: You can explain complex security risks to both deep-tech engineers and non-technical management.

• Team & Perks: Discounts at cinemas, gyms, and streaming services, plus awesome team events to unwind after a hard day of defending the network.
