You will work with a team of very talented Software and DevOps Engineers, Operations and Customer Success Managers to ensure that we have the right policies and processes in place and are effectively communicating and enforcing them.
We are very interested in candidates that have previously led or played a significant role in achieving ISO27001 and SOC2 compliance at a software company.

In order to thrive in this role you will have strong knowledge of modern DevOps/SecOps tooling and industry trends. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential to the role. Solid experience in C++ and Python is required to ensure you are operating at all of the required levels to be successful.
