- **Does technology excite you? **We are searching for technology enthusiasts. Whether it is AI and the public cloud, through IoT technology, to the laptop on your desk or the smart phone in your pocket. Are you a Raspberry Pie devotee by night, a weekend 'Capture the Flag' player or just someone who loves to connect and explore new technology? Every day is a learning opportunity when you work in cybersecurity, and we need people with a willingness and aptitude to develop their technological insight.
- **Are you seeking responsibility and independence?** Careers in cybersecurity represents immense growth potential. Perhaps you have just completed a graduate scheme and are looking to step things up? Or maybe you are a longer-term professional who just feels the time is right for something different. Whatever your path, there is no shortage of responsibility within our team. You will have the opportunity to inform significant decisions, cultivate individual projects and shape the wider business. We will work collaboratively to support your progression, ensuring you are confident whilst working independently and understand when to escalate a decision or issue.
- **Do you want to make an impact? **Cybersecurity matters. It affects everyone, extending beyond the digital world and into the physical one. This is both a daunting and fulfilling prospect, which gives meaning to everything we do. Our processes, approaches, and even job roles shift with changes in technology, politics, or society. We are looking for people who are willing to contribute to change and want to play an active role in shaping the future of cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity is not just certificates and expert knowledge - we all need to start from somewhere and who says that 'somewhere' has to be a STEM qualification?
