How you create added value
As a consultant, you advise renowned clients in cyber security with a focus on network security. You work conceptually and still stay close to the technology. Your main tasks are:
- Design and implementation of network security architectures: zoning, segmentation and firewall concepts.
- Consulting and support of Zero Trust and micro-segmentation projects, from analysis through concept to implementation.
- Development of security concepts for hybrid environments (on-premises and public cloud).
- Technical assessment of security solutions and participation in procurement projects.
- Management of demanding projects in the field of network security.
Data protection issues, security audits and pentesting are not part of this role.
What makes you the ideal candidate
- You have successfully completed a degree in computer science / business informatics or have a comparable qualification (e.g. as a network security engineer or security architect).
- You have several years of experience in network security: you know zoning, firewalls and segmentation conceptually and technically.
- You have already implemented or supported Zero Trust or micro-segmentation projects.
- You know network security not only on-premises but also in hybrid cloud environments.
- You develop concepts and represent them to the client without losing technical depth.
- You have experience in IT consulting and technology consulting.
- You have methodological competence in project management and/or agile frameworks.
- You enjoy interdisciplinary work across team boundaries.
- You speak fluent German and have very good English skills.
Benefits
Work locations
In addition to your clients' offices and your home office, the atrete home base in the city of Zurich, close to the lake, is available to you. Here you get a modern office with conference room, focus rooms, gondola, cafeteria and a "Töggelichaschte" as well as shower facilities. In addition, you have the option to work remotely and thus flexibly design your work environment according to your needs.
Life-work balance
Only if you are satisfied in your private life can you really convince in your profession. Therefore, you decide how much holiday you want (at least 5 weeks), get flexible working hours and, if desired, a reduced workload. Various team events (whether ski weekend, summer party, Oktoberfest, Christmas dinner, anniversaries or just a toast after work) provide further balance.
Development and further training
IT is fast-moving and constantly changing. To ensure you not only keep up but are always one step ahead, you receive comprehensive support for continuous training. A development plan helps you achieve your goals so that, as a consultant, you can regularly take on new and exciting tasks appropriate to your level.
At the cutting edge
We work with innovative new technologies, products and process models and thus support our clients in various industries to gain a competitive advantage. For this, we continuously acquire new skills at atrete, evaluate new technologies and apply them in client projects and for ourselves.
Home base
Every two weeks you meet the whole team on Monday morning at the Zurich office for knowledge and experience exchange. We discuss business development, report on current projects and successes, and also invite external companies to report on the latest trends.
Environment and sustainability
We are known as public transport travellers. This keeps our CO2 footprint low. Thanks to first-class train travel, we can also use travel time to work.
