Our Mission:

Are you a motivated experienced person, used to working in an international multi-cultural environment, who really wants to make a difference in the open-source world?
At Open-Xchange, we decided to leave dead-end jobs where you don't make an impact and offer passionate experts the opportunity to be part of an agile, international team that connects the world and millions of people by developing and delivering open-source technologies.  
We believe it’s crucial to work in an environment where people feel valued, are energized by their work and deliver added value.

  • Our non-hierarchical organization not only ensures much better value creation for our customers, it also provides the best possible work environment for every one of us.
  • We believe that everyone at OX will always do what is best for the company. We believe that the full potential for high performance is only realized within an organizational structure that enables each individual to work with clear focus and to take full responsibility for their tasks. 
  • At OX we focus a lot on mastery. It influences our decision-making processes and is a great part of how we look at professional development.
  • We believe in openness and diversity, which are crucial to OX’s success. Different opinions, ways of thinking, and cultures enrich us and help us to better understand the bigger picture.

 

Your team:

At Open-Xchange, you'll work in a decentralized, remote-first organization that provides communication and email infrastructure for millions of people worldwide.

  • You'll take ownership of planning and implementing technical and organizational security requirements across the OX Group.
  • You'll advise and inform management regularly on all information security matters and produce transparent reports.
  • You'll continuously develop our information security strategy and management system.
  • You'll conduct risk assessments, monitor market trends, and implement appropriate measures as part of risk management.
  • You'll develop and review requirements for our technical product development, system architecture, and the secure operation of our cloud services.
  • You'll collaborate closely with suppliers, customers, and external auditors, following ISO 27001 standards.
 

Your background:

  • You have a degree in (business) computer science, IT security, or a related field.
  • You bring several years of professional experience in information security, IT risk management, or IT compliance.
  • You have hands-on experience building, implementing, and certifying an Information Security Management System (ISMS) according to ISO 27001, and ideally some knowledge of IT-Grundschutz.
  • You have an excellent understanding of IT architectures, cloud technologies, and technical security measures.
  • You work in a structured and analytical way and have a strong awareness of risks and security priorities.
  • You communicate clearly, convey your expertise convincingly, and can explain complex topics in an understandable way, including to management.
  • You can effectively communicate in English verbally and in writing across all levels.
  • You are a team player and you love to share your knowledge and learn from others.
  • You would like to work in an environment without a formal hierarchy and are ready to take ownership for your work.
 

This is what you get at Open-Xchange:

  • The flexibility to work 100% remotely ensures a work environment that suits you best.
  • Flexible working hours that allow you to successfully combine your home and family responsibilities with work. 
  • Stay up to date with latest tech, by working on modern private cloud software in a dynamic, international team.
