  • Implement and manage identity and access management (IAM) solutions, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and least privilege access.
  • Monitor and analyze network traffic to detect and respond to security incidents.
  • Develop and maintain documentation for Zero Trust architecture policies and procedures.
  • Translate business requirements into technical designs and code implementations, ensuring the delivery of high-quality software solutions.
  • Participate in security audits and compliance efforts to ensure adherence to relevant standards and regulations.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends, technologies and best practices in Zero Trust security.

Why SCATR?

  • Collaboration & Growth: Join a dynamic team where your contributions directly impact global organizations' ability to secure their data in motion.
  • Competitive Benefits: We offer a comprehensive benefits package, flexible working hours and the opportunity to work on impactful projects.

Preferred Requirements:

  • Bachelorโ€™s or Masterโ€™s degree in computer science, information security, or a related field.

  • Experience with identity and access management (IAM) solutions.
  • Proficiency in network security technologies such as firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and security automation and orchestration tools
  • Experience with architecting Zero Trust solutions in alignment with industry standards, including NIST 800-207, CISA Maturity Model, or DoD Zero Trust Strategy.
  • Knowledge of network principles, such as ZTA, SASE, SD-WAN
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a keen eye for detail.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
