Security Engineer

You will own security engineering end-to-end across application, infrastructure, and incident response: partnering with product and platform teams during design, writing and shipping security automation in production, and leading high-quality response when something breaks. Day to day, you will help define security in a greenfield modern bank, moving beyond threat modeling, harden cloud and CI/CD paths, build detection and response workflows, and drive remediation to closure with clear risk tradeoffs. This role reports to the CISO. What matters most is measurable risk reduction that keeps product velocity high.

YOUR FIRST SIX MONTHS

Understand the foundations and increase your ownership rapidly.

• Months 1-2: Enforce an SSDLC that codifies existing security goals across EU-live payment/ledger services and US launch-critical services into required design, build, and release checkpoints (ownership, control evidence, and exception handling), with 100% of net-new Tier-1 changes following the workflow.
• Months 3-4: Stand up an AI-native product-security review pipeline that auto-triages code/dependency/IaC findings by service criticality, proposes fixes in pull requests, and routes owner-tagged remediation tasks and reduces non-actionable security alerts.
• Months 5-6: Expand baseline coverage to >=85% of Tier-1 services for workload identity hardening, secret management standards, runtime audit logging, and high-severity dependency monitoring; start monthly control-evidence reporting to Security & Compliance.
