With over 1,000 employees worldwide and customers in 140 countries, we enable the market — we never compete with it.

• Suggest, challenge, and discuss architectural decisions with software development.

• Collaborate with different teams within TecAlliance as well as with external partners to find the best solutions to thrive our business.

• Stay on top of emerging threats, technologies and regulatory changes.

Your Profile:

• Degree in IT, Information Security or equivalent education.
