Do you want to play a key role in our unique success story?
We are looking for a strong, hands-on Security Engineer to build and operate our detection and identity capabilities. You will implement and run our SIEM, identity and access management (IAM) and user behaviour analytics (UEBA), and lead security incident detection and response, working across security, infrastructure and fraud teams. This is a senior individual-contributor role focused on deep technical implementation rather than people management - we are looking for a builder, not only an operator.

•Implement and improve identity and access management (IAM) controls - access governance, privileged access, joiner-mover-leaver and access reviews.
•Implement user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and correlate activity to identities for risk-based detection.
•Configure monitoring for anomaly detection and automated response across cloud and hybrid environments.
•Coordinate and investigate information security incidents and lead technical incident response.
•Analyse large datasets and security logs from network, infrastructure and application sources.
•Develop scripts and automation for detection, enrichment and response (SOAR).
•Support the definition and control of access rights to information and critical systems.
•Evaluate and help implement new detection, identity and monitoring technologies.
What you'll need to succeed:
•Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity or a related field.
•Proven hands-on experience in security monitoring, detection or incident response, ideally in a financial institution, technology company or another highly regulated environment.
•Strong knowledge of:
•SIEM implementation and detection engineering;
•Identity and access management (IAM) and privileged access;
•User and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) concepts;
•Incident detection, response and investigation;
•Network communications, enterprise application architecture and cloud technologies;
•Windows and Linux/UNIX operating systems.
•Experience with SIEM, EDR/XDR, UEBA, SOAR or vulnerability-management platforms is highly desirable.
•Ability to analyse large datasets and security logs; scripting and automation skills.
•Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; excellent command of English (written and spoken).
•Professional certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, CISSP, GIAC (e.g. GCIA, GCIH), Azure/AWS Security, ISC2 or equivalent are considered an advantage.
What we offer:
•Take your career to the next level with real growth opportunities
•Work on exciting, meaningful projects that make an impact
•Be seen and appreciated for who you are and what you do
•Join a vibrant, international team of 23 nationalities who've got your back
