Jobs

We are rapidly expanding in US and Europe. We are therefore looking for people who share our view of how the security business should be done.

At this time, we are primarily looking for experienced security professionals. Demonstrable expertise in the security area is more important to us than grade averages. To fit our team, you should have experience, ideally in the security consulting or evaluation business, be able to work without close supervision (read: you have lots of room to be creative) and have the "right" personality to do consulting.

You should also be a team player - we are not a group of people grudgingly working together, we are a team building a company that fits our vision, and we want you to be a part of it - to work with us, not for us.

We are still in the start-up stage: expect lots of work, fun, chaos, and room to build something.

Sounds good? Questions? Please contact the office nearest to you. If you live in a region where we do not have offices yet, please contact us anyway - we are growing rapidly, and might be thinking of opening an office in your city.

Right now we are specifically looking for:
