About Catawiki

Catawiki was founded in 2008. It was originally designed as a website where collectors could manage and keep track of their collections online. Visitors can still add new items to the existing catalogue of collectibles. Unsurprisingly, the name Catawiki is a combination of the words ‘catalogue’ and ‘wiki’. In 2011, Catawiki began hosting weekly auctions in various categories, including art, antiques, classic cars, watches, jewellery, fashion, books, and stamps.

Position

Our Security story

Being the largest online auction platform for special objects in Europe we strive to provide a secure and trustworthy experience for our customers. Security protects the data of the business through the promotion of security expertise, awareness, and collective oversight.

Here it’s Paul, VP of Information Security

“I joined Catawiki to share my knowledge and grow the security functions with an exceptional group of people. I’m faced with a unique set of challenges in an ultra modern development environment where there are no traditional infrastructure borders. Building solutions for problems that aren’t restricted by slow processes or “checkboxes” are what make this job fun! The culture is relaxed and I have a great time getting to know the various teams that support selling some of the most sought after items on the planet.”

What you'll do

Help us find solutions for emerging and evolving threats within the business. You’ll perform threat hunting exercises and use that data to tune our response tooling. Respond to threats from both within our environment and looking in from the outside. Configure Security Monitoring (SIEM) tools to provide more visibility on the Catawiki platform and corporate IT. This role will primarily focus on the strategic objectives within corporate IT, Legal, and the Security teams own objectives.

Some of the daily duties include response, enrichment, and tuning of alerts generated from our endpoint systems. Contributions to our security awareness program for new and existing employees through the form of training or workshops. Additionally, report on threats mitigated, perform phishing exercises, and facilitate in closing reported security gaps.

Our offices and new way of working

We’ve embraced an activity-based way of working, meaning our team can choose how they split their work week between home and the office, in line with our remote framework and guidelines. In locations where we have physical offices, most employees enjoy two days at the office to connect and collaborate with each other.

Our experts and sales staff in local markets work 100% remotely – in most cases from home. Some key positions are hired remotely, while we also offer relocation services for colleagues needing to be closer to the office.
