In additional to a strong research profile, RISE Cybersecurity is the owner of the RISE Cyber Range test and demo facility, a physical facility in Kista, with a critical infrastructure grade security, that offers a trusted place for Swedish industry to learn and solve their cybersecurity needs. RISE Cyber Range aims at providing practical cybersecurity education, training and exercise; allows creation of sector-specific verticals for incidence/response handling; an environment for state-of-the-art applied cybersecurity research and development; and a forum to participate and organize international ethical hacking and capture-the-flag competitions.

Who are you?
In order for you to succeed and thrive in this position we believe you possess at least 3 years of experience within the field of IT/Cyber security. This includes working with network security, various operational systems, servers, routers and virtualization (1-7 layers in general). We also believe you possess the following:

- Excellent understanding of penetration tools and techniques
- Understanding of coding (web, database, scripts, etc.)
- Excellent knowledge of Linux
- Preferable personal security clearance

Though your experience and the skills you have obtained in your previous works are the most valuable to us, a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science or cybersecurity will strengthen your profile.

Ethical hacking without proper reporting and communication of vulnerabilities is not truly applicable, which means that excellent communication skills are a must.
