How about the opportunity to elevate your SecOps career by joining an experienced global security team as apart of a market-leading fintech?

There’s strong backing for your development --> think SANS courses, mentorship from an experienced security team, and opportunities to attend events like BSides, DEF CON, and Black Hat. You’ll also have chances to travel and work alongside experienced professionals who take security seriously.

About the Role

The team has been implementing strong tooling, and now is your opportunity to come in locally and take ownership of everyday operations, continuing to drive improvements.

There's a well-established company culture focused on continuous learning, within the security team there is a significant training budget for opportunities like SANS certifications and global conferences such as Bsides, DEF CON, and Black Hat.
