Open source is our beating heart and it’s something that fuels our work and our culture. It’s where we began. It’s where we’ll always be. Our vision is to become the trusted open source data platform for everyone. We are a Cast of over 400 individuals (‘Crabs’) located across the globe. Why Crabs? Because we believe in thinking sideways. And right now, we’re looking for sideways-thinking Senior Security Operations Engineer.
We rely on our Infrastructure and Security Team to keep our physical and digital assets secure and functioning smoothly.
On the digital side, that means our IT systems and networks, while robust security is an essential element of our core offering, of course.
But our physical assets are just as important, with office locations in 10 different countries across four continents. In addition, many of our team members work remotely, adding further security challenges.
We employ a wide range of real estate and workplace managers, network engineers, cybersecurity specialists and IT administrators. Technical and communication skills are all part of their remit, along with an ability to think (and work) around problems. We are currently looking to add a Senior Security Operations Engineer to our team.
So, how do we become the trusted open source data platform for everyone? By listening closely to our customers and taking action to ensure they achieve their business goals. You see, the software we create is merely a means of delivering value. Our thinking is customer-first. That’s why our customers are at the front and center of all we do. And in the spirit of sideways thinking, we’re by their side as well. Actively helping them solve their challenges. Collaborating. Sharing. And innovating. In other words, it really isn’t just about who we are. It’s about who our customers are – and where they want to be.
We want individuals who can embody our values of ownership, courage, and openness.
What does that mean in practice?
We take ownership of the problems we solve. What we do is about improving life for our customers, enabling them to meet their goals. So we own our decisions and mistakes. Sometimes that takes courage. But we don’t falter – we take on challenges with confidence. And right at our heart is openness. We’re always open to new ideas – from wherever and whoever they come.
