Security Engineer

At bunq, we’re on a mission to Make Life Easy for our users by creating the most user-centric banking experience out there. That starts with keeping their data safe. As AI makes attackers faster, we’re seeing more critical zero-day vulnerabilities than ever, and we need to stay ahead of them.

That’s where you come in. As our Security Engineer, you’ll own how 700 colleagues get secure access to our systems, and you’ll help defend bunq against attacks as they happen. You’ll design and build security processes that AI can’t run on its own, and automate everything that it can.

Take Ownership

You’ll keep bunq secure, from access control to incident response. Here’s how you’ll do it:

• Own access control governance in Okta Identity Governance, automating how access is granted, revoked and reviewed, so every employee and contractor has the right access from day one.

• Investigate and triage security incidents and vulnerability findings, decide whether they’re malicious, and escalate or fix them fast.

• Drive the replacement of our security monitoring system with an AI-based platform that detects and stops threats automatically, and build automations so the team can focus on real security issues.

Requirements

• You’ve worked hands-on as a security engineer, investigating and triaging security incidents.

• You write code to automate security work, not just to run scripts.

• You’ve worked with identity governance and know how to build secure login and access solutions.

• You communicate clearly with stakeholders, especially under pressure when someone is locked out or an incident hits.

• You bring engineering experience. Consultancy experience alone isn’t the right fit.
