You will join our security team led by Ayoub, our Security Director. You will report directly to Pierre, our Security Team Lead, and join a team composed of 8 Security Engineers.

-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 with autonomy in 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!
