Requirements

We are seeking motivated, early-career individuals who are passionate about launching a career in cybersecurity and information technology, with a focus on security operations, threat detection, and incident response. This opportunity is ideal for recent graduates or candidates with foundational technical knowledge who are eager to develop hands-on experience in a fast-paced, security-focused environment. In this role, you will support IT operations while contributing to security-related initiatives, working closely with stakeholders and end users to identify, analyze, and help resolve technical and security issues. Candidates should possess a strong understanding of computer systems and operating systems, along with exposure to networking concepts or command-line tools, and the ability to think critically when solving complex problems. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential, as this role requires collaboration across teams and clear articulation of risks and solutions. We are looking for individuals who demonstrate curiosity, leadership potential, and a proactive mindset, with a willingness to learn, receive feedback, and continuously improve. Experience with Microsoft Office and any academic or professional exposure to IT or cybersecurity concepts is beneficial. A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field is required. Candidates who show strong aptitude and interest will have the opportunity to further specialize in cybersecurity disciplines, gaining exposure to real-world security operations, monitoring, and incident response practices as they grow their careers.
