Come join our team, where together, we’re on a mission to give meaning, solve problems and enrich human lives on a global scale. Stanford's Information Security Office is looking for an Associate Information Security Engineer to work with our small, tightly-knit team on a wide range of security-related projects, helping to protect our digital resources.
The Information Security Office is a high-profile team, and is one of the few departments with university-wide purview, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to share your talents and shine. We operate with a high degree of autonomy, encouraging each of our contributors to bring their own special talents to tackle the complex challenges facing the university. While navigating the world of information security at a large university can be demanding, we take pride in the enjoyable and collaborative environment we foster. Trust, innovation, and fun are at the heart of what we do.
The Security Operations team within the Information Security Office may be small, but we are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for growth. We invite you to be part of our journey as we expand our capabilities and enhance our impact. Our team develops, maintains, and utilizes cutting-edge security tools to safeguard the university, with proud achievements that include network detection and response, chatops-based operations, and an annual cybersecurity festival, which engages the community and promotes awareness. In our small team, automation is key, and you will play a crucial role in minimizing repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on strategic initiatives. We are committed to fostering a culture of training and professional development, offering a generous training budget and opportunities for both technical and leadership training to everyone. Every team member is the leader of the services they are responsible for and contributes to our team strategy and initiatives. Join us in making a difference while advancing your career in a supportive and innovative environment!
We’re a part of the roughly 700-person University IT organization, and we’re a key part of the bigger cybersecurity and technology community at Stanford, which spans seven schools, two hospitals and one national laboratory. We all work for the greater good.
