Johannesburg, South Africa M-KOPA Full time

**At M-KOPA, We Finance Progress.**

The scale and impact of our work is massive. M-KOPA is a fast-growing FinTech company offering millions of underbanked customers across Africa access to life-enhancing products and services. From our roots as the pioneer in pay-as-you-go “PayGo’” solar energy for off-grid homes, we have grown into one of the most advanced connected asset financing platforms in the world, empowering a broad range of customers to achieve progress in their lives.

M-KOPA's Threat Intelligence team sits within the Security department and identifies and assesses threats against our products, business and personnel. The team has taken a unique approach to Threat Intelligence by developing a custom analysis platform instead of depending on standard tools — e.g. Recorded Futures.

By consuming several intelligence sources, we aim to provide minute-by-minute information to our Fraud, Application Security and Managerial teams using Azure Microservices.

Your role is acting as a developer, primarily Python, for the Threat Intelligence team with elements of Threat Hunting in the mix. It's not only about building automated tools to scour the Internet but also about identifying new threats to monitor.

It is a fully Remote role within the following time zone (UTC -1 / UTC+3), and you will report to the Senior Threat Intelligence Researcher. Additionally, you will work closely with the Application Security and Global Fraud teams to develop intelligence-gathering systems to distribute significant findings appropriately.

**You're excited about this opportunity because;**:

- You will create, build and enhance a bespoke Threat Intelligence platform, exceeding the capabilities of 99% of Threat Intelligence teams.
- You will identify new threats against M-KOPA, our products and our employees.
- You will get to learn about development best practices, Continuous Integration and Continuous Development processes.
- You will receive and analyze cyber threat alerts from various sources and communicate them to the appropriate team members.
- You will perform cyber defense trend analysis, assist team members with determining their cybersecurity requirements, and establish reporting mechanisms.
- You will develop and deliver written and oral mobile threat alerts, scheduled internal notifications, case studies, and after-action reports to several stakeholders.
- You will coordinate and communicate across multiple stakeholder groups.
- You will monitor external data sources to maintain an up-to-date understanding of cyber actors and threats and provide recommendations on prioritizing cyber threats and prevention/mitigation measures.
- You will review and evaluate incoming intelligence reports, information, collection plans, and programs.

**We're excited about you because you have experience with;**:

- Moderate experience writing Python programs or knowledge of Python development.
- Any experience with Microsoft Azure or cloud microservice architectures
- Some familiarity with modern development practices, e.g. Continuous Integration and Continuous Development.
- Ability to read Zulu to a proficient level.
- Any knowledge of Threat Intelligence principles.
- Windows and Linux command line knowledge.

**Benefits - What's in it for you**:

- You will be involved, and participate in, our Application and Information Security Red Teaming operations.
- Have the opportunity to travel internationally to attend conferences and training courses.
- Receive five days annually for self-development.

M-KOPA is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer committed to assembling a diverse, broadly trained staff. Women, minorities, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

M-KOPA does not collect/charge any money as a pre-employment or post-employment requirement. This means that we never ask for ‘recruitment fees’, ‘processing fees’, ‘interview fees’ or any other kind of money in exchange for offer letters or interviews at any time during the hiring process.
