About Us

Duco is on a mission to reduce the time spent on data-related work by 90%. Our enterprise data automation platform empowers teams to work more efficiently and meaningfully by giving them the ability to automate data controls with the latest technology, such as no-code, the cloud, and AI.

We help firms to start trusting their data, by giving them one intuitive platform to automate the front-to-back processing of all kinds of data (from structured Excels and RTFs to unstructured PDFs and emails). This eliminates the boring manual work across the data lifecycle and enables firms to act faster, work smarter, save money, reduce risk and comply with regulatory requirements.

We’re headquartered in London and have offices in New York, Wroclaw, Singapore, and Antwerp. We’re proud to call some of the largest global financial institutions our clients, including over 15 of the world’s largest international banks, as well as brokers, exchanges, asset managers, hedge funds, administrators, service providers and corporates.

As part of our continued investment in security operations, you will serve as the internal owner of both our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform and our managed Security Operations Centre (SOC). You will define our detection strategy, hold our service provider to the highest standards and lead our response to security incidents. You will also be accountable for the run-time security of our AWS estate.

You will join a small, collaborative team based across London and Wrocław, working alongside our Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) function and our Senior Product Security Engineer, who is responsible for security across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and CI/CD pipeline. You will partner closely with our Engineering, Platform and IT teams and report to the Head of Information Security.

Automation, reporting and assurance

• Automate repetitive security processes through scripting and infrastructure-as-code
• Deliver operational security metrics that inform risk reporting and key risk indicators (KRIs)
• Support internal audits and client assurance activities by evidencing the operating effectiveness of operational security controls

Skills and experience

• Proven experience in a security operations or cloud security engineering role
• Hands-on SIEM experience, including the design and tuning of detections in addition to alert response

• Experience working with or managing a managed SOC or Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider
• Proficiency in Python or a comparable scripting language for automation
