Short Company Description
BIT SENTINEL is one of the largest cybersecurity providers in Central and Eastern Europe, trusted by organizations across all major industries. Our Security Operations Center (BSS-CERT) delivers comprehensive Managed Security Services, from advanced threat detection and response to robust compliance solutions.
Our strength is forged in offense. Founded by elite ethical hackers, BIT SENTINEL’s DNA is rooted in deep expertise in penetration testing, application code review, and incident response. We think like attackers to build a stronger defense.
This offensive mindset powers our BSS-CERT, where our team of certified specialists leverages their expertise to provide proactive, intelligent security. We operate from our Bucharest headquarters with a flexible service model tailored to client needs, including 24/7 monitoring capabilities and on-call SLA-backed support to ensure our clients are protected around the clock.
Overview
We are looking for a highly motivated and innovative Cyber Security Engineer to be a critical architect of our SOC. This is not a typical analyst role. You are a builder, a problem-solver, and a force multiplier. You will have the autonomy to not only respond to threats but to design the very systems, automations, and processes that defeat them.
If you are driven by a relentless desire to improve, automate, and stay one step ahead of adversaries, you belong here.
Key Responsibilities
As a core member of the BSS-CERT, you will shape our technical capabilities and directly contribute to our clients’ security posture.
We are really excited that you consider applying for your future career in cybersecurity at Bit Sentinel. Please fill out the form and we will get back to you asap.

Final Notes
To ensure a fair and authentic recruitment process, we ask all candidates to participate in interviews without using AI tools or external assistance. Our goal is to evaluate your personal skills, experience, and communication style – we want to get to know you, not an AI. For this reason, please avoid using virtual backgrounds and note that in-person interviews may form part of our selection process.
Use of AI-generated content or third-party support during interviews may result in disqualification. All successful candidates will undergo comprehensive background checks, including identity, education, and criminal record verification.
We appreciate all applicants for their interest. Only those who best match the role requirements will be contacted for further steps.
By submitting your application, you consent to the use of your personal data for recruitment purposes. If hired, your data will be used to manage your employment record. If not selected, we may retain your information for up to three years to consider you for future opportunities.

Key Responsibilities
As a core member of the BSS-CERT, you will shape our technical capabilities and directly contribute to our clients’ security posture.
- Lead Advanced Threat Response: Own security incidents from detection to closure. You will be technical authority for complex investigations escalated from L1/L2, performing deep-dive analysis to understand the threat, its impact, and orchestrating the response.

- Key Skills: Familiarity with modern security concepts, including application, network, and cloud security. You are detail-oriented, highly organized, and an excellent communicator.
- Attitude: You are a self-starter who thrives on autonomy and doesn’t want to be micromanaged. You are a natural collaborator who elevates the team around you.
- Excellent analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to perform calmly under pressure.
- SOC Tooling: Hands-on experience with SIEM (Elastic, Splunk), SOAR (Phantom, Demisto), and EDR platforms.
- Infrastructure as Code: Familiarity with tools like Ansible, Terraform, or Docker/Kubernetes.
- Offensive Security: A background in penetration testing, malware analysis, or bug bounties.
- Frameworks & Standards: Knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK®, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, or NIS, NIST SP800-61r1, SP800-61r2, SANS PICERL.
- Previous experience with raw log file review, data correlation, and analysis, as well as with network security tools, network traffic analyzers, firewall logs, network flows, intrusion detection systems, system logs, memory dumps, vulnerability management, SOAR platforms, SIEM, especially Elastic SIEM, and other Enterprise / Open Source equivalents.
- Certifications: Professional certifications are valued (GIAC, OSCP, CompTIA, etc.).
- Experience working in a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) environment.
- Flexible Hybrid Work: Balance your professional and personal life with a flexible schedule that combines the best of remote work and in-office collaboration.
