Our ability to stay at the forefront of the industry has fuelled our success and will guide us in paving the path forward. We’re driven to push boundaries and think beyond today to deliver strategies, and we’re just getting started.
While we continuously exceed our goals, we need your help – our success is only as great as our people. Strong performance leads to high expectations, and we must keep raising the bar!
Reporting to the Director of IT & Security, you will be responsible for supporting the business with detection and remediation of vulnerabilities and incidents.

You will work closely with the wider IT team to build out our Vulnerability Management platform and support our drive towards SOC2 Type II certification.
What You'll Do Here:
- Help deploy and manage the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) application, monitoring security and compliance alerts and remediating any detected incidents
- Monitor key business systems for vulnerabilities and champion the remediation of vulnerabilities that are outside of IT’s purview
- Create processes and procedures to improve the company’s security posture
- Support the company’s drive for SOC2 Type II compliance
- Handle security incidents with the support of the IT team
What You'll Need To Have:
- 3-5 years of experience in Security and Compliance
- Experience in a SaaS first company with a remote workforce a plus
- Experience with SIEM application deployment and management
- Experience with Google Workspace
- Experience with EDR tools (Jamf Protect, SentinelOne preferred but not required)
- Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform
- Familiarity with Vanta or other SaaS security compliance and management tools
- Familiarity with automation, for instance with an automation platform like Zapier, or scripting tools like Python
Where an offer falls within this range is determined through the interview process. Candidates are benchmarked by the hiring team based on role scope, relevant experience, skill alignment, and expected impact, using consistent and objective criteria.
At Viral Nation, compensation is structured, performance-led, and market-aligned. Pay decisions are intentional, based on role requirements, performance, and market alignment by country, and are set to maintain internal pay equity across comparable roles and levels.
Compensation progression is tied to demonstrated performance, expanded scope, and sustained contribution over time, not tenure alone. Employee compensation is reviewed regularly through formal performance reviews and check-ins to ensure alignment with role expectations and impact.
