Description du poste

Our Mission

Money sitting idle is money lost. We're fixing that.

Founded in 2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko gives businesses, non‑profits, financial advisers, and fintechs access to institutional‑grade cash management, via app or API. We are building the full infrastructure: issuing, operating, and distributing the products ourselves.

Two years after launch, we serve thousands of organizations across Europe and process hundreds of millions of euros in flows every month.

Our ambition: become the world's leading treasury management infrastructure in a market worth trillions.

We are backed by Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.

Spiko runs on excellence, transparency, and straight talk.

The role: (Job Title)

Your core mission is simple: make our customers' data and money safe

As head of security, you own security at Spiko end to end: application, infrastructure and cloud security, identity and access, vulnerability management, pentests and AI-driven security testing, detection and incident response, and the security culture of the whole company.

You define the roadmap and set the priorities. In return, you get full ownership. This role sits within Spiko’s tech team.

Your second-order missions are:

• Own our compliance framework. Bring ISO 27001 certification over the line and keep it, lead our DORA implementation, and put in place the policies, controls and evidence collection that regulators, auditors and partners expect from a company that manages client money. You work hand in hand with our legal & compliance team on this.

• Support the business on security due diligence. Large partners and Spiko Embedded clients run security due diligence on us before they integrate. You work to answer their questionnaires or enable the sales team to do it, to present our security posture to their teams, and makes our security a selling point.

Our stack

• Cloud: AWS, GCP, Cloudflare

• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform

• Orchestration & Deployment: Kubernetes, Docker, Qovery

• Databases: PostgreSQL

• Observability: Datadog (logs, traces, metrics, RUM)

• Identity & Access: Ory (Kratos, Hydra, Oathkeeper)

• CI/CD: GitHub Actions

• Application stack: TypeScript, NX, Effect, React

Who we’re looking for

Requirements (must-haves):

• 5+ years of experience in security engineering roles

• Solid understanding of application security, network security, and cloud security best practices

• Experience with security audit processes, vulnerability management, and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar)

• Familiarity with CI/CD security tooling (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning)

• Experience with automated pentesting tools or AI-driven security testing

• Comfortable working autonomously and defining your own roadmap

• Comfortable working in an English‑speaking environment

• Curious, pragmatic, and eager to learn

Nice to have:

• Experience in fintech, capital markets, or other highly regulated environments

• Knowledge of blockchain infrastructure or Web3 security

What we offer

• Compensation: Competitive package depending on experience + Stock Options

• Offices: in central Paris & London

• Remote work: up to 2 days per week and one full remote week per month

• The best tech for your job: latest‑generation laptops and industry‑leading software

• Health insurance: 100% covered by Spiko

• Monthly Budget to cover different perks of choice

• Transport: 50% of public transport pass covered or the Forfait Mobilités Durables (FMD)

• Referral Bonus

• Social life: regular afterworks and biannual offsites
