Jobbeschreibung

To support Mister Spex' strategic goals and our evolving tech platform, we are looking for an experienced tech person and leader to take over security and platform infrastructure across our organization as our new Lead Security & Infrastructure.

While we are flexible with the scope of this position, our current thinking is that a good fit would be someone with strong technical skills, a strategic mindset and leadership experience.

To be successful, you would bring ample hands-on experience securing, designing, and professionally operating cloud-native platforms – i.e. not by typing into a console.
Additionally, you bring mind- & toolset to dump your thoughts onto well-structured documents that are convincing to a wider group of leaders. You are healthily annoyed by tech regulations and audit processes and are generally great to work with.


  • Shape and take ownership of our information security strategy, its implementation, continuous improvement and maintain a view on what's next

  • Define and drive initiatives to secure and protect our data, systems and infrastructure together with a small ops team and our software engineering department.

  • Enable our tech teams to increase security and reliability within their respective domains by working hands-on with them on the definition, design, and the actual implementation of projects and product initiatives

  • Advise and mentor our organization and its leaders on all topics related to security, compliance, confidentiality and integrity of our systems and data


  • Several years running security initiatives and ideally platform teams
  • Deep and hands-on experience with cloud-native infrastructure, cloud-based solutions, IAM, and general cybersecurity (we use AWS, Azure and M365) and we love IaC

  • Leadership and hands-on experience with all aspects of information security in Cloud and Cloud-based hybrid office or retail environments, including, for example, IAM, hardening, incident and vulnerability management, security monitoring, cloud security posture management and security architecture

  • (First) experience in establishing and evolving processes and practices for accountability and governance

  • Knowledge of several established standards and regulations and what is important about them (e.g. GDPR, ISO27k, NIS, PCI-DSS, BSI-ITG, etc.)

  • Experience with strategic planning, and IT governance, partner management, and effective collaboration with external auditing partners

  • Ability to explain complex platform security topics in simple ways, also on documents

  • Excellent communication skills in English (C1+), German would be a plus

  • Always carry a Flipper Zero in your bag and enter the U.S. only with a wiped phone
