Your role in the team

  • You are part of our Cyber Security & Reaction Service Team and support national and international clients in professionally managing IT security and compliance incidents - independently, structured, and effective.
  • You are responsible for incident handling of security incidents (DFIR cases) in critical situations: from independent analysis and reconstruction of complex attacks along the kill chain to deriving robust measures for containment and hardening.
  • You develop and evaluate detection and response concepts (SIEM, EDR/XDR, SOAR), conduct security, compromise, and incident readiness assessments, and specifically address security gaps in processes and technologies.
  • You conduct penetration tests and adversary operations (Red/Purple Teaming, Threat Emulation according to MITRE ATT&CK) to simulate real attacker tactics and measurably improve detection and response capabilities.
  • You act as a technical consultant and project manager, working closely with client-side SOC, IT, and management teams, contributing your expertise to the development of services, concepts, and court-admissible reports, and presenting results appropriately for the audience - from technical deep dives to executive summaries.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • Completed university degree in STEM with a focus on IT security/digital forensics or a comparable field with several years of relevant practical experience.

Qualifications

  • Verifiable professional qualification in the DFIR environment, e.g., as a BSI-certified incident response expert, complemented by recognized certifications such as GCFE, GNFA, GCIH, or comparable qualifications.
  • Independent, structured, and responsible working style with a high level of team and customer orientation, enjoyment of collaboration and knowledge transfer, as well as a confident demeanor — even in time-critical situations.
  • Strong analytical thinking skills and the ability to process complex technical issues and communicate them effectively across different levels of hierarchy.
  • Excellent spoken and written English skills, as well as willingness to undertake domestic and international business trips within the scope of customer projects and DFIR deployments.

Experience
