Job description

Senior Information Security Analyst

Runa is pioneering a first-of-its-kind payment rail capable of issuing, sending and accepting digital value at scale.

Banking and card payment infrastructure still struggles to serve low-volume, high-velocity payments both locally and globally. Businesses send over $20 trillion in refunds, rewards, or remittances to consumers, employees, or freelancers, every year and waste thousands of hours, incurring costs of up to 50% per transaction and leaving the people they serve waiting days to receive their money.

Runa is transforming the payouts landscape with a new digital payments infrastructure that enables businesses to send digital value to anyone, anywhere instantly, free of charge for senders and recipients. Recipients can immediately spend the value they receive on the Runa network including 4000 plus payout types across 37 countries, completely independently of the legacy card rails. Hundreds of leading companies rely on Runa to power instant, flexible global payouts to tens of millions of consumers including Sodexo, TopCashback, Perkbox, Sweatcoin, Coinbase and Globetopper.

The Role

The Senior Information Security Analyst ensures security controls, policies, and processes are embedded across the organisation. You will enhance cybersecurity by implementing strategies, analysing breaches, and ensuring compliance. This role is key in guiding engineering teams on application security and integrating security best practices across our technology stack.

What Excites You

• Develop world-class security practices and controls within a high-growth financial technology business shaping the future of payments.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and risk analysis to identify and mitigate security weaknesses.
• Embed security by design and threat modelling principles into product development.
• Lead incident response efforts, coordinating with stakeholders to minimise risks.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and commercial teams to build a secure product.
• Monitor and respond to security threats and incidents using advanced security tools.

What Excites Us

• Experience as a Senior Information Security Analyst in cybersecurity and GRC, ideally in a high-growth tech environment.
• Strong knowledge of cloud (AWS), application, infrastructure, and network security.
