Your chance to join Northwave, one of Europe's leading security service providers.

Your start at Northwave

For more than 18 years, we have specialized in protecting companies from cyber attacks. With our integrated services, which combine people, processes and technology, we are one of the leading providers in Europe.

We are looking for motivated working students who would like to start their career in the security industry. As part of the Security and Privacy Office, you deal with the 'business' security part of companies. For example, with compliance with laws, guidelines and standards. This includes, for example, information security management but also data protection issues.
Our SPO offers customers, among other things, a contact address where they can contact them if they have security questions (e.g. to check phishing emails). In the Security and Privacy Office, you handle daily security incidents and questions from our customers. This means that you receive incoming inquiries and problems that arise, analyze them, process them independently or in a team depending on their type and complexity, or forward them internally to the responsible contact person. You will work closely with our security consultants and learn hands-on how information security is implemented and managed.

We are looking for students to support us in incident handling one or two days a week. This takes place in “shifts” during normal office hours. Of course, we ensure that your working days and availability are compatible with your studies. The division of shifts always takes place in mutual exchange. We would also be happy to help you find a topic for your thesis. In our Cyber Fusion Center we combine our extensive industry knowledge, our research into the latest threats and technologies, and our experience from working with our customers.

What you can expect from us

Contract

You will be given an employment contract with flexible working hours. Therefore, your working hours will always be coordinated in consultation with you and taking your semester schedule into account. We also offer you an attractive hourly wage (15,96 Euro/h).

Equipment

Our office is equipped with Apple devices, height-adjustable desks and a fridge that is always stocked with cold drinks. Oh yes, and there's regular Northwave merch, as well as cakes and Dutch caramel waffles.

Team

At Northwave, you will be part of an international team of 275+ security enthusiasts who are happy to share their knowledge and look forward to support, e.g. at the company run or the pub quiz. In Germany, we are still in the process of being established - so this is your chance to help shape the future.

Perspectives

You can already gain work experience during your studies. In the DACH region, we are currently still under construction - literally. We are currently building a new headquarters. We will be happy to support you with your thesis and discuss your entry and career opportunities at Northwave.
