Gain experience with advanced detection systems, automated response tooling, identity and access platforms, cloud‑native security solutions, and governance technologies used across the industry.
High‑rigor environment with real impact.
Build and refine capabilities in a financial‑services context where precision, repeatability, and operational discipline matter—and influence enterprise‑level direction.
Collaboration with top industry partners.
Participate in vendor assessments, tooling evaluations, and integrations that shape an enterprise‑grade security program.
Contribute to initiatives spanning detection engineering, identity architecture, cloud security, automation, governance, and more.

Familiarity with identity and access management (IAM) solutions, such as Okta, including integration with applications and security systems.
Experience with automation, including scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) to streamline security processes, workflows, and response actions.
Ability to operate with autonomy, accountability, and comfort in fast‑moving environments.
Exceptional communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence across teams.
Analytical mindset with a high bar for detail, documentation, and operational excellence.
