We work at global scale in one of the most tightly regulated industries there is, and keeping our platforms, data and people secure is central to everything we do.\nPlatform Security runs Derivco's identity, cloud, endpoint and data security platforms, and keeps them compliant. This is an early career, generalist role. You won't own one platform. You'll work across all of them, support the specialists, provide cover, and keep work moving when one area is busy. If you'd rather know a lot about many things than everything about one, this role is for you.\nYou'll join a team of seven engineers in Pretoria, Durban and the Isle of Man, and learn each area alongside a specialist mentor.\nWhat you'll do\nYou'll rotate across every area the team covers. You'll learn each one with a specialist, then take on more of it yourself:\nIdentity and access: manage our identity platforms (users, groups, apps, lifecycle workflows, license hygiene), and process and review access requests against least privilege.\nPrivileged access: support privileged access management, bastion and jump-host access, and privileged-access reviews.\nCloud security: triage Azure and Microsoft 365 security posture findings and help teams fix them. \nEndpoint security: support our XDR platform: agent coverage, policy tuning and alert triage, escalating to senior team members when needed. \nData protection: support DLP policies and sensitivity labelling.\nVulnerabilities and lifecycle: track remediation of vulnerabilities and findings, and support retiring end-of-life operating systems. \nCompliance and audit: gather evidence and produce metrics for PCI DSS and ISO 27001 audits, keep records audit-ready, and track control issues and risks. \nAutomation: script repetitive work in PowerShell, Python or KQL, and contribute to security-as-code (Terraform, Azure DevOps) through peer-reviewed change control.\nWhat you'll bring\nAbout 1-3 years' experience in IT or information security, for example in security operations, IT support, infrastructure or a security platform role. \nA relevant degree or diploma (e.g. Computer Science, Information Security or Information Systems), or equivalent hands-on experience. \nA broad grounding in IT and security, including identity (Active Directory / Entra ID), Windows and Azure basics, and networking fundamentals. \nA clear understanding of core security concepts such as least privilege, MFA, patching and logging. \nSome scripting experience in PowerShell or Python.\nCuriosity, the ability to learn new tools quickly, and comfort switching between tasks.\nClear communication and good documentation habits. Cover only works when handovers are clean.\nHave professional courage to manage stakeholders when an access request or change breaks policy.\nNice to have: SC-900, AZ-900, CompTIA Security+ or a similar certification; exposure to SIEM, vulnerability scanning, endpoint security or Linux.\nWhat success looks like\nWithin six months, you're a trained backup across every platform the team runs. Routine access requests, finding triage and audit-evidence work run smoothly through you, which frees our senior engineers for roadmap projects. Over time, you'll grow into a specialist area and move up our security engineering career path.\nClosing date: 29 October 2026","description_format":"text","description_chars":3362,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["iGaming & Gambling"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T18:34:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early","comp:attention"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/derivco-information-security-engineer-l1","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/derivco-information-security-engineer-l1.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T06:44:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7054,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3880369},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3880369"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fderivco-information-security-engineer-l1"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fderivco-information-security-engineer-l1"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fderivco-information-security-engineer-l1"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/derivco-information-security-engineer-l1\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fderivco-information-security-engineer-l1"}]}
