The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Knight Frank is hiring a Information Security Specialist in Portland, ME.

• Role description

  Knight Frank builds mentorship-focused products used by teams worldwide, and we need an Information Security Specialist to push our platform to the next level. At $73,000 - $105,000, this Information Security Specialist seat rewards 3+ years in technology with autonomy, mentorship, and a long runway for growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Knight Frank users feel every click
  • Re-architect the technology flow so OSCP handles ten times Portland's current load
  • Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real SOC 2 Compliance on-call at Knight Frank
  • Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
  • Stand up observability so Knight Frank sees failures before customers in ME do
  • Spot the deeply-bought-in Phishing Simulation anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Knight Frank
  • Decide when to buy Networking versus build it for Knight Frank's Portland, ME stack

  What You'll Bring

  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
  • Equal parts OSCP depth and SOC 2 Compliance curiosity
  • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
  • Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
  • Comfort with a Knight Frank pace that rarely sits still
  • A point of view, held loosely and defended well

  For all its problem-solving ambition, Knight Frank still operates like the scrappy Portland startup that first cracked technology years ago. Growth budgets at Knight Frank are generous because a sharper Stakeholder Management you means a stronger team.

  The $73,000 - $105,000 we offer comes attached to mentorship, a clear ladder, real benefits, and flexible full-time days you can plan around.
