Most security roles in Indonesia still look the same: internal IT security, limited exposure to real client work, and slow growth beyond checklists and compliance.
If you’ve ever felt your security skills could go further, but don’t see many clear paths beyond local roles, this role is designed for you.
RainTech is building a remote‑ready security consulting team in Southeast Asia and is looking for Security Consultants at different levels based in Indonesia who want to work on real client problems, not just internal audits.

What You'll Actually Be Doing Day to Day
This isn’t a “sit in a corner and watch logs” job. It’s consulting work with hands‑on delivery.
On a typical project, you might:
- Run security assessments and help clients understand where they are today versus where they need to be.
- Perform technical security testing and red‑team style activities, then translate findings into clear, prioritized fixes.
- Work on GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) tasks—policies, controls, and processes that match how the business really operates.
- Support implementation and advisory, so you don’t just report problems but help design and guide the solutions.
- Prepare structured reports and presentations that executives and non‑technical stakeholders can understand and act on.
You’ll work with clients across different industries, usually as part of a small, focused team instead of being buried inside a huge internal organization.
How This Security Role is Different from Typical Security Jobs in Indonesia
On paper, many security roles sound similar. In practice, this one differs in a few important ways:
- Consulting, not just internal operations. You help multiple organizations, seeing different environments and threat models instead of one internal setup.
- Real client exposure. You talk to clients, ask questions, and explain your recommendations—this isn’t a hidden “back office” role.
- Variety and learning. You’ll see different tech stacks, industries, and security maturity levels, which accelerates your growth.
- Remote‑first by design. The work is structured for remote collaboration with tools and habits to match, so you don’t need to relocate to get global exposure.
If you’re currently in an internal security or IT role and feel like you’re repeating the same patterns, this role gives you a path into consulting and international work.

All levels are remote‑friendly, based in Indonesia, and work with RainTech’s partners and clients across regions.
Who You'll Work With and How (Consulting Environment)
You’ll join a consulting‑style environment where:
- Projects are scoped and delivered as engagements, not random tickets.
- You collaborate with other consultants and engineers in Southeast Asia, not just a single local team.
- You learn how to balance technical depth with business impact—a core consulting skill that many purely internal roles never push you to develop.
This is a strong fit if you:
- I enjoy explaining security concepts to others.
- Are curious about how different businesses approach risk and security.
- I want to gradually grow into roles with more leadership or client ownership.

What RainTech is Looking for (Skills and Mindset)
The Foundations You Need
You don’t need every single box, but you should see yourself in most of these:
- Background or strong interest in IT and information security.
- Experience in consulting or another client‑facing environment, or a clear motivation to move there.
- Comfortable using English at work, spoken and written.
- Able to turn technical details into clear explanations for non‑technical stakeholders.
- I enjoy structured thinking, problem solving, and documentation.
It’s a plus if you’ve worked on:
- Security assessments and audits.
- Technical testing or penetration testing.
- Red‑team simulations.
- GRC activities (policies, controls, risk registers).
How Seniority Changes What You Do
Junior Security Consultant
- Roughly 0–2+ years in IT/security or related roles.
- Executes defined tasks with support and feedback.
- Focuses on learning consulting and communication skills.
Senior Security Consultant
- Several years in security with client or stakeholder interaction.
- Leads workstreams or smaller engagements end‑to‑end.
- Comfortable driving meetings, presenting findings, and pushing projects forward.
Lead Security Consultant
- Strong track record owning security projects or programs.
- Manages complex stakeholder sets and expectations.
- Supports business development (proposals, scoping, solutioning) in addition to delivery.
Profiles from consulting firms, Big 4, or in‑house security with heavy stakeholder management tend to align well with Senior/Lead levels.
