As a Security Engineer, we will onboard you within the HEMA Security Office, HEMA’s central security organization.

Together with other Security Engineers, Security Analysts and internal and external colleagues from the HEMA Security Office, you will ensure that HEMA becomes a little more secure every day.

In addition, you will help streamline security processes and building internal scripts and tools. You are the security partner for our internal teams, thinking (pro)actively about security across the organization.

With your hands-on experience, you will bring a fresh perspective to all parts of the Security and IT organisations. You must be able to provide solicited and unsolicited advice and information to the organisation on various implementations for the benefit of information security.
