  • London

  • What you'll do

    • Build and improve SIEM detection rules, alert pipelines, and automated response playbooks (Datadog SIEM, CrowdStrike, Cloudflare)

    • Contribute to incident response readiness, including IR playbooks, tabletop exercises, and forensic procedures

    • Support DLP strategy and data protection controls across Google Workspace, Slack, and internal tooling

    • Conduct cloud security assessments across AWS and Kubernetes environments

    • Drive application security initiatives: threat modelling, secure code review support, API testing, and security pipeline improvements

    • Assess and secure AI/agentic workflows across the company — reviewing prompts, preventing destructive actions, and controlling data exposure

    • Establish and run the vendor security assessment process — building a scalable due diligence framework for third-party onboarding

    What you'll need

    • 4–7 years in cyber security, ideally having built or significantly shaped the security function at a startup or high-growth company - you've been the person who sets things up, not just maintains them

    • 2+ years at a regulated fintech/bank/payment company

    • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure security (AWS, Kubernetes)

    • Working knowledge of SIEM platforms and detection engineering - you've written detection rules, not just consumed alerts

    • Familiarity with application security practices: threat modelling, secure code review, CI/CD pipeline hardening, and API security testing

    • Experience with endpoint security tooling (EDR/XDR) and identity & access management in a SaaS-heavy environment (Google Workspace, Okta/Cloudflare Access, SSO/SCIM)

    • Ability to assess and secure emerging AI/agentic tooling - you understand the risks of LLM integrations, MCP servers, and automated workflows, and can define practical guardrails

    • Experience running or contributing to vendor security assessments and third-party due diligence

    • Strong written and verbal communication

    • Business fluent in English

    Benefits

    • Competitive salary and benefits

    • Stock options, so you own part of what you build

    • Discretionary performance bonus

    • The latest tools and technology

    • A world-class team that will challenge and grow your skills

    • The opportunity to help build the best fintech app in Latin America
