THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Security Incidents have a high potential to cause a severe business impact on the organization. They often involve ambiguity, complexity, and the need for off-playbook approaches and solutions to manage unprecedented problems. Flexibility, fast movement, and the ability to reduce complex situations to individual components to allow action-taking are key during such situations.

The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer coordinates task forces to respond to major Information Security Incidents. They act as a primary point of contact for all parties involved and contain, eradicate, and recover Information Security Incidents.

Most of their time, they will work during core business hours but also regularly on-call outside of business hours and on weekends.

At Zalando, our vision is to be the leading pan-European ecosystem for fashion and lifestyle e-commerce - one that is inclusive by design. We only assess candidates based on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
