At Sunbit, we're building financial technology that puts people first. By combining intelligent decisioning with a personalized, transparent approach, we help consumers access the payment options that are right for them while empowering merchants to build stronger customer relationships.
Engineering is at the heart of how we make that happen. We build scalable distributed systems, cloud-native services, intelligent data platforms, and AI-powered solutions that enable real-time financial decisions at scale. By leveraging modern engineering practices and integrating AI into both our products and development workflows, we solve complex technical challenges, accelerate innovation, and continuously improve the way we build software. Every service, model, and architectural decision we make directly impacts our products, our customers, and the future of financial technology.
About the Role
We're hiring our first Security Analyst to join Sunbit's newly formed Security Operations (SecOps) team, reporting directly to the SecOps Team Lead. SecOps is the single point of contact and accountability for all security operational pipelines at Sunbit — we orchestrate, track, and ensure completion of security work across the organization, partnering with Engineering, IT, GRC, and application teams who execute the hands-on technical work.
This is a ground-floor opportunity: you will help build the pipelines, playbooks, dashboards, and automations that power security operations at Sunbit. Our mandate is to cover a broad security domain with a lean team — that is only achievable through aggressive automation, streamlined workflows, and self-service capabilities.
What You'll Do
Daily Operations
• Triage security alerts and classify them per our severity framework
• Monitor dashboards for tool health, alert volume, and anomalies
• Run ad hoc reviews and checks
• Document incidents and maintain incident timelines
Pipeline Tracking & Follow-Up
• Assign remediation tasks to domain owners via Jira and track them to closure
• Track SLA compliance, send reminders, and escalate overdue items
• Maintain pipeline status dashboards and generate status reports
• Escalate blockers and non-responsive owners to the Team Lead
Automation & Continuous Improvement
• Implement automations designed with the Team Lead — scan-to-ticket pipelines, alert enrichment, evidence collection, notification workflows
• Identify repetitive manual tasks and propose automation ideas
• Maintain and update runbooks and playbooks
Understanding of common security threats, vulnerabilities, and controls
• Experience with SIEM platforms or alert triage workflows
• Comfort with Jira (or similar) for managing work items end-to-end
• Clear written communication for status reports and cross-functional follow-ups
• Basic understanding of cloud environments (GCP, AWS)
Nice to Have
• Security certification (CompTIA Security+ or similar)
• Familiarity with specific tools (CrowdStrike, Okta, n8n, etc)
• Experience building dashboards
• Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Tines, SOAR)
• Hands-on cloud security experience
• Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, IT, or GRC teams
Why This Role Is Different
• Hire #1 on a new team - real influence on how SecOps is built at Sunbit
• Broad exposure across monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, identity, compliance, and security reviews
• Automation-first culture - your work directly reduces manual toil
• Direct mentorship from the SecOps Team Lead with a clear growth path as the team scales
