Lead Cloud Security Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 2, 2026.
The bank that’s closer to everyone - yes, that’s us.
We are building a new team for a new digital bank from scratch! The new security team will ensure resilience of the bank.
As aLeadCloud Security Engineer, You will secure our Azure cloud platform and k8s environments. We are Azure-first and operate in a regulated financial-services environment, so secure-by-default, auditability, and resilience are baseline expectations.
Every day, you’ll be #closer and:
Cloud platform security
Secure-by-default Azure landing zones: network segmentation, private endpoints, Entra ID identity and least-privilege/entitlement management (CIEM), and secrets management (Key Vault).
Cloud posture and workload protection via CNAPP / CSPM (Microsoft Defender for Cloud and/or Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud) - continuous misconfiguration detection and remediation.
Kubernetes & container security
Harden AKS and the cluster surface: RBAC, Pod Security Standards, admission control (OPA Gatekeeper/Kyverno), network policies, and namespace isolation.
Secure the container supply chain: image scanning, signing and provenance, trusted registries, and hardened base images.
Runtime workload protection and secure secrets handling in-cluster.
Cross-cutting
Get cloud, cluster, and application signals into the SIEM (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel) and support incident response - partnering with detection/IR rather than owning the SOC.
Secure vendor and integration architecture (API gateways, Zero Trust boundaries) for our external ecosystem.
DORA and regulatory assurance - ICT risk, ICT third-party / supply-chain risk, resilience and threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) support - and clear risk communication to engineering, leadership, and auditors.
To be #closer, you’ll bring:
Hands-on Azure cloud security in production - not just reviewing environments.
Strong Kubernetes and container security: AKS hardening, RBAC, Pod Security Standards, admission control, network policies, and image/supply-chain security.
Infrastructure as Code and scripting (Python, PowerShell, or similar) - you automate guardrails rather than enforce them by hand.
Identity, least privilege, and secrets management in Entra ID; CNAPP / CSPM tooling experience.
Ability to communicate cloud and pipeline risk to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including auditors.
Nice to have
Multi-cloud awareness (AWS / GCP) beyond Azure.
SIEM and cloud detection experience (Microsoft Sentinel).
Application security awareness - OWASP Top 10, OAuth2 / OIDC, FAPI 2.0 - enough to partner with product security.
Financial services / fintech / open-banking background.
DORA or equivalent financial-regulatory familiarity (NIS2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST CSF).
Being #closer means you’ll get:
The green light for your ideas. Your suggestions will be heard - we value independence, curiosity, and initiative.
A manager who helps you grow. You’ll get clear direction and support while having plenty of freedom to act, learn, and develop.
An organisation that is changing. Joining Artea means more than just a new name - it means new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities to help shape our culture from within.
Achievements rooted in Lithuania. We’re especially proud to be a Lithuanian bank. We believe our country and our people are unique, and we do everything we can every day to help them realise their potential.
A personal benefits package. Health insurance, a pension savings programme, additional days off, flexible working hours, modern infrastructure - and that’s far from the complete list of benefits!
Competitive compensation. Your salary will depend on your experience and competencies, so we’re providing an indicative range of EUR5758 - 7792gross per month.
