The Team:

You’ll be joining a modern Security Operations (SecOps) team, where the focus is on deep-dive security investigations and active incident response.


What you’ll bring:

  • Experience in the trenches: You’ve worked in a security team before for 3+ years - if that was in FinTech or a cloud-native environment, even better.
  • Tech-savvy: You’re comfortable with modern engineering tech stacks and understand how they fit together.
  • AI-curious: You’ve played around with AI agents and understand how they work.
  • A team player: We’re looking for someone who collaborates well but is also perfectly comfortable working independently when the situation calls for it.
  • Flexibility: Our SOC team runs 24/7, so you’ll need to be open to a shift rotation (including weekends or staggered hours).
  • Solid foundations: You deeply understand networking, operating systems, and log analysis.
  • A keen eye: You care about quality and have the critical thinking skills to spot those tiny anomalies that others might miss.
  • Great at juggling: You can comfortably handle and prioritize multiple moving parts, keeping your cool when things get busy.

Nice-to-haves :

  • Experience combating fraud targeting financial services organizations.
  • Worked in an AI SOC setting before.
  • Demonstrated Engineering skills - Systems or network admin, DevSecOps, Cloud infrastructure
  • Contributed to open source projects or has published quality research
  • Relevant technical certifications.

We really encourage you to apply, even if your background doesn’t fit the “traditional” SOC profile. We value fresh perspectives and unique backgrounds.
