• Define security requirements, and write and maintain the standard operating procedures and policies that keep us aligned with regulatory standards.
• Build technical solutions with security tools that close vulnerabilities and automate repeatable work.
• Deploy, configure, and troubleshoot security software and hardware, and check firewalls and encryption technologies to decide when they need replacing.
• Monitor networks and systems for intrusions, research system and component alerts, and investigate incidents to find the root cause.
• Run our recurring security checks: quarterly server hardening reviews, quarterly internal penetration tests, and scans for unencrypted credit card data across all products.
• Partner with the compliance team during audits, and automate how we collect evidence.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in information security, including time as a system security or information security engineer.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining security systems, including firewalls, intrusion detection, anti-virus, authentication, log management, and content filtering.
• Solid knowledge of network security, database and operating system security, and the tools used to monitor them.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS, SOC 1, SOC 2, and GDPR.
• Working proficiency with AI tools relevant to security work.
• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Nice to have

• 5+ years of experience in information security.
• Experience with cloud services such as AWS, or with colo data centers.
• Knowledge of security automation.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or similar.
• Exposure to the payment card or financial industries.
