Cybersecurity Analyst

At Spotify, the Cybersecurity Analyst owns the problem end to end, from the first Work-Life Balance prototype to the 3 a.m. pager that never rings. With 5 years of experience under your belt, you'll step into a temporary position paying $84,000 - $120,000 where ownership and momentum matter.

• Pair-program tricky Strategic Planning edge cases with engineers across Aurora, IL
• Ship the IDS/IPS steady-handed rewrite that pays down years of Spotify technical debt
• Keep Security Auditing schemas backward-compatible so Spotify never forces a breaking upgrade
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end

Spotify is the customer-obsessed IL company that built its name on technology work nobody else wanted to do properly. The unwritten rule in Aurora is simple: leave the codebase kinder than you found it.

We are offering $84,000 - $120,000, a clear growth track, hands-on mentorship, and the kind of flexibility that keeps IL talent happy.
