If you thrive in a collaborative, supportive environment where your technical expertise directly drives business impact, we would love to welcome you to the team.
Key aspects of the role include:
Security Testing & Education: Drive internal security awareness, run phishing simulations, and proactively identify and work to resolve vulnerabilities across the business ecosystem.

Research shows that underrepresented groups tend to apply only for roles they believe they meet 100% of the criteria for. At Waracle, we want to buck that trend. We hire for passion, potential and mindset as much as credentials. If you think you'd be incredible in the role, then apply - even if you don't think you tick every box.
