IT Security Engineer (m/w/d) – full remote möglich

As an IT Security Engineer, you ensure the robust protection of our systems and data – practically, applicable in practice, and not just on paper. You evaluate suitable security tools, conduct Proof-of-Concepts, and implement the selected solutions yourself, turning good ideas into real protective mechanisms. You manage and develop our security measures – from hardening to monitoring, detection, and incident response. You identify vulnerabilities, clearly prioritize risks, and pragmatically implement countermeasures before small cracks turn into big problems. You automate security processes and checks wherever sensible, making security smarter, faster, and more suitable for everyday use. You advise your colleagues, raise security awareness within the team, and support compliance and data protection requirements in the healthcare sector. This position can be held 100% from a home office. Nothing stands in the way of part-time employment; ideally at least 30 hours per week. You have a completed technical education, a corresponding vocational training, or significant practical experience in IT, as well as at least 3 years of professional experience in IT security or Linux system administration with a strong focus on security. You have in-depth knowledge in the core areas of IT security: network and Linux system security, hardening, vulnerability and patch management, monitoring/SIEM, as well as endpoint security. Your technology stack is Linux, especially Debian. You are absolutely confident in working with the operating system, have extensive experience in evaluating, implementing, and operating security tools in Linux environments, and confidently automate processes, for example, using Ansible or Bash/Python scripts. You have a pronounced hands-on mentality and actively implement security measures, rather than just writing concepts. Ideally, you have already worked with regulatory and data protection requirements in the healthcare sector; relevant security certifications are a plus. Your interest in AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) or ideally, even first experience with agent-based AI like Codex, Claude Cowork, or Gemini Spark, is welcome for practical application. To be successful with us, you must have German language skills at level C1 or higher. We are an open and ambitious team of over 500 employees, truly customer-oriented, and enjoy what we do. Even after more than 10 years, we maintain a startup atmosphere that, in addition to a legendary fruit basket, offers numerous benefits such as a tax-free credit for a shopping card, bicycle leasing, and health courses (e.g., yoga, back training, and mental health) – both online and on-site. Depending on the area of application (which covers at least 75% of all company divisions), we offer all our colleagues flexible working hours and the option to work from home. We see ourselves as a cohesive team with a collaborative, not competitive, atmosphere. Outside of work, we organize activities like beach volleyball in the summer, BBQs, cooking evenings, or kayaking tours.
