• 8+ years in information security — architecture, engineering, or hands-on security lead roles.
• Experience maintaining an ISO 27001 ISMS through certification and surveillance cycles.
• Working knowledge of DORA or similar financial sector ICT risk frameworks.
• Hands-on AWS security experience — IAM, VPC, KMS, WAF, GuardDuty, or equivalent.
• Experience with SIEM tools (Wazuh, Splunk, Sentinel, or similar).
• Understanding of application security — OWASP Top 10, API security, OAuth/JWT/SAML.

• Review and approve infrastructure changes, new integrations, and API exposure decisions.
• Own the vulnerability management program — dependency scanning, CVE triage, patching, and remediation tracking.

• Design and implement AWS security controls directly — IAM policies, security groups, KMS key policies, WAF rulesets, GuardDuty tuning.
• Lead remediation of penetration test and vulnerability assessment findings across infrastructure and application layers, working hands-on with engineering teams to close gaps.
• Configure and tune SIEM detection rules and alerting logic (Wazuh or equivalent) — build use cases, not just monitor dashboards.

• Review and harden infrastructure configurations against CIS benchmarks and similar standards.
• Work with engineering on secure coding practices and help embed security checks into the development pipeline.
• Maintain and evolve the ISO 27001 ISMS through surveillance audits and continuous improvement.
• Drive SOC 2 Type II compliance — scope, control implementation, evidence collection, and auditor engagement.
• Own DORA compliance — ICT risk management, incident classification/reporting, resilience testing, and third-party risk management.
• Ensure GDPR compliance for platform data processing; work alongside the DPO.
• Handle customer security questionnaires, due diligence requests, and audit evidence packages.
• Produce regular security reports for customers and present at governance meetings.
