How would you support our success?
We’re looking for a full-time Junior IT & Security Officer to join our team on-site at our Ghent office.First of all, this is a unique opportunity for someone starting their career in tech. You'll be stepping into an environment that encourages hands-on learning, growth, and real responsibility from day one. With support from experienced professionals in IT and InfoSec, you’ll have the chance to develop your skills, expand your knowledge, and shape your path in the tech industry. It’s not just a stepping stone, it’s a launchpad.
You’ll be joining a special, small team with high expectations. We are looking for someone with a high level of technical & digital aptitude, someone curious about tech, eager to learn, and willing to grab the bull by the horns. While support and guidance will be available, we’re looking for someone with a proactive, builder’s mindset. Someone who is willing to do the work in the trenches to learn the ropes, and isn’t afraid to learn on their own with steady direction.
You don’t need a specific degree to be a star in this role. A rock-solid mindset and feeling for tech is all we need to shape you into a high-value contributor to Silverfin!
We’ll turn you into an independent builder, working with the latest technologies (AI and all things cloud), pushing the envelope of both internal IT and information security, all with a sprinkle of pragmatism and a no-bs approach.You’ll be expected in our Ghent HQ 4 days a week, with a possibility to work 1 day remotely.
Your responsibilities
As the current IT and Information Security Officers are looking to focus on strategic work and new projects, you will be perfectly positioned to gradually take over operational tasks related to onboarding new colleagues, following-up on access management processes, internal IT Support, security compliance, bug bounty programs etc.
You’ll gradually receive more responsibilities as you’re being trained, after which you’ll receive more autonomy to shape the role towards the future.
As you settle in, you’ll begin to understand how we manage access, protect data, and build a secure infrastructure that scales. You’ll get hands-on with tools and processes, take part in internal security initiatives, and play an active role in shaping how we work securely and efficiently across the company.
What would success look like?
In your first 6 months, success looks like:✅ Independently handling day-to-day L1 IT support tickets and onboarding/offboarding flows✅ Managing and following up on access requests ✅ Participating in internal security checks and following up on bug bounty triages✅ Contributing to infosec and IT internal projects✅ Building rapport with your colleagues, and positioning yourself as an individual always ready to help✅ On-site assistance for technical setup of company-wide events
