About you:

  • Expertise in securing large-scale e-commerce platforms, with a strong focus on customer data protection.
  • A collaborative professional who thrives in fast-paced environments.
  • A deep passion for modern computing security, including familiarity with offensive and defensive security techniques.
  • Comfort with innovative technologies such as Generative AI, Cloud Services, and Zero Trust.
  • A commitment to continuous learning about emerging technologies and cybersecurity trends.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex risks in business terms.

Basic qualifications include a Bachelor's degree and at least 7 years of experience in Information Security, with 5 years in people management and cloud security.
