Maybe it’s time for a new challenge in one of the region’s largest Quality Assurance organizations?

We are looking for a new colleague to our Security & Compliance Test team. In this role, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the security and integrity of our products.

Your future team

Two of the team's main responsibilities are maintaining a framework for automatic security tests and conducting penetration testing.

What you will do
Together with colleagues who, just like you, are eager to prevent exploitation and malicious use of our solutions, you will be implementing the test aspects in Axis Security Development Model.
