• Support the creation of proactive security measures to stay ahead of emerging threats.
• Maintain detailed records of vulnerabilities, remediation steps and contribute to regular security reporting.

What do I need?

• 1-3 years of hands-on experience with Java is essential. You should be confident writing secure, efficient and maintainable code.
• Familiarity with React or Node.js is a plus and the team will support in developing those skills.
• Exposure to automation tools or scripting languages like Python or PowerShell is advantageous.
• Proven ability to identify and address security risks in code and systems.
• Capable of explaining technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
