An intelligence-sharing platform is only worth what its last release does.

You would run quality assurance for a multinational defence organisation's deployment of an open-source threat-intelligence sharing platform and the integrations around it, in Mons, Belgium — working with the service delivery and engineering managers, system administrators, developers and data engineers, and with the open-source community itself.

What you would be doing

  • Configuring and managing dedicated platform instances and the infrastructure they test on, with support from the system administration side
  • Occasional basic operations on the production instances
  • Appraising work against the organisation's standards, identifying where it does not comply, and working out why
  • Preparing and reporting on findings and the risks behind them
  • Planning and managing the testing: specifying the environment, creating the cases and scenarios, and making sure they reflect realistic operating conditions and real coverage
  • Documenting, analysing and reporting results so that something actually gets done about them
  • Occasional support to the user community on the managed production instances
  • Coordinating test activity with external parties, including the core project team and other community members

What you would bring

  • At least five years of developing and executing software test strategies
  • Test automation, and API testing
  • Python scripting
  • Basic Linux, Apache and MySQL or MariaDB operations
  • Configuring web applications
  • A good grasp of security principles, practice and technology
  • The ability to work alone and in a team, including supporting the people around you
  • Excellent organisation, communication and analysis, and professional English
  • A bachelor's degree in a related discipline with three years of related experience — or, exceptionally, ten years of progressive expertise in this work

Nice to have

  • ISTQB or a similar testing certification
  • Running a threat-sharing instance as an administrator, or writing code for one in Python or PHP
  • Incident response experience, and work with open-source communities
  • Multinational cyber exercises, and Red Hat

Why this one is worth a look

It sits where testing, security and open source meet — you would be working with the upstream project, not just consuming it.
