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: Ideally, you’ve worked in a security team before - 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.

Requirements:

- 3+ years of proven hands-on experience in security operations engineering, threat hunting, and incident response

- Strong understanding of AWS/Azure security architectures, services, and associated threats.

- Expertise in security frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK) and common SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms.

- Advanced data analytics skills with the ability to analyze logs and telemetry data from diverse sources.

- Familiarity with forensic tools and processes for investigating incidents

- Strong documentation and communication skills to clearly convey findings

- Relevant certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, GCIA, GCFA, GCIH, or CISSP are preferred.
