Christchurch, New Zealand Basis Full time

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

We recently closed our Series A capital raise, so we're well-funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**

We’re seeking a skilled Security Systems Architect to own security for both our physical products and digital operations. This senior role encompasses responsibility for embedded systems security, as well as cloud and operational security, ensuring a comprehensive defence strategy across all platforms. You will be tasked with analysing security risks, defining and implementing mitigative measures, ensuring their implementation, and continuously monitoring and refining cybersecurity practices.

Your goal will be to ensure that complex, multi-disciplinary solutions are well fitted to business and product objectives, ensuring adherence to our security-related policies and incident response plans. You will be collaborating with the product development team, IT Operations, and leadership team.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- Leading security architectural design of our products, performing threat modelling, security risk assessment and defining security requirements for our product design teams
- Collaborate across the business as part of the systems engineering function to build a secure design from the ground up, aligning with our product development lifecycle for safe and quality designs.
- Help achieve and maintain ISO27001 Accreditation
- Performing penetration testing on our own product and infrastructure before working with external parties to get maximum value out of external consultants
- Create and develop effective incident response plans
- Drive trade-off decisions using structured and data driven decision making
- Leading the security function within basis as a senior individual contributor

This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone wanting to step into a small organisation and make a big impact. Security at Basis is almost a blank slate so there is plenty for someone to sink their teeth into. For more information, please check out the full job description available here.

**About You**

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have the following skills/or traits:

- Experience with implementing ISO27001, as well as exposure or experience with IEC 62443 and IoT security experience
- Experience with new hardware product design, manufactured products and field deployment.
- Experience with designing and implementing secure cloud, mobile, and network infrastructure
- A Tertiary Qualification in a relevant discipline, such as IT or Engineering
- Threat assessment and risk management experience
- An ability to take initiative, follow through on what you say you’ll do, and own your mistakes
- Determination and tenacity, maintaining a positive attitude in challenging situations
- Clear, candid and concise communication skills - both written and verbal, but also an ability to be kind and compassionate when dealing with others

**Benefits**
- A competitive salary and employee share scheme (ESOP)
- A hybrid-first culture - work from home and the office
- Unlimited annual leave so that you can take the time that you need to re-energise
- Tools of trade, including laptop and headphones, and we also pay your phone bill
- Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
- A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?)
- Office dogs
- Access to Clearhead, our well-being programme which gives you 5x free sessions with a psychologist per year
- A $200 one-off payment towards your home workstation
- A commitment to diversity and inclusion: Pride Committee and partnering with Pride Pledge, DEIB Committee, EEO Policy and well-being strategy
- Parental leave policy that tops up wages to 100% for the primary caregiver for up to 22 weeks (conditions apply)
- The opportunity to learn and develop from some of the best and brightest minds in the industry
