We’re strengthening our cybersecurity practice and looking for a proactive Cybersecurity Specialist to join our team in a hybrid position based in Portugal, working with key international clients on high-impact digital transformation and security projects.
At Amaris, we know that innovation goes hand-in-hand with protection. As cyber threats grow in complexity, we’re committed to helping organizations build resilient, secure digital environments. If you’re passionate about safeguarding systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and implementing cutting-edge security solutions, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
- Conduct security assessments, vulnerability analyses, and risk evaluations across IT infrastructures.
- Support the implementation of cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, CIS).
- Monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents using SIEM tools and threat intelligence.
- Assist in designing and deploying security solutions (firewalls, endpoint protection, identity & access management, zero trust).
- Perform penetration testing and support red team/blue team exercises (if applicable).
- Collaborate with technical and business teams to ensure compliance with data protection regulations (GDPR, etc.).
- Develop security policies, procedures, and awareness materials.
- Stay up to date with emerging threats, attack vectors, and cybersecurity trends.
✍️ WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR ✍️
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
- Proven experience in cybersecurity roles (SOC analyst, security consultant, IT security engineer, etc.).
- Solid understanding of network and system security, encryption, and authentication mechanisms.
- Familiarity with security tools (e.g., Wireshark, Nessus, Metasploit, Splunk, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel).
- Knowledge of cloud security (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and secure DevOps (DevSecOps) practices is a strong advantage.
- Experience with incident response, threat modeling, or compliance frameworks is highly valued.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CEH, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001) are a plus — and we’ll support you in earning them!
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
- Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken) – essential for client collaboration.
- Ability to work independently and in multicultural, agile teams.
