YOUR ROLE

To strengthen a team dedicated to Security Operations, we are looking for a Security Operations & Patch Automation Engineer.

The selected person will work on patch management, security operations and automation, contributing to the design and development of solutions aimed at making operational processes more efficient, repeatable and secure.

The role combines strong system administration skills across Linux and Windows environments with Security expertise and a strong inclination towards automation.
