## About the Role

* 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

## Description

* 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
