We encourage innovation and movement, collaboration and problem-solving, and foster an environment where everyone can feel they belong, are valued, supported and empowered to succeed.\nIf you’re a collaborator who wants to help transform how businesses operate globally, get in touch - we’d love to discuss how Ebury can accelerate your career so you can shape the future.\nSenior Security Engineering Manager\nLocation: Madrid or London\n\nAbout Ebury\nEstablished in 2009, Ebury is a London-based financial technology company specialising in cross-border financial services for SMEs. Our comprehensive suite includes international payments, foreign exchange risk management, business lending, and mass payment solutions, all delivered via an integrated digital platform.\nBacked by Banco Santander (54% majority stake) and recognized in the Financial Times’ list of Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies, Ebury employs over 1,700 professionals across 40+ offices in 25+ countries. Our success is powered by diverse, high-performing teams revolutionising global fintech.\nRole Overview\nEbury is investing heavily in product and platform security across our global financial services ecosystem. Security Engineering is a deeply technical, hands-on discipline that partners directly with software and platform engineers to build security into every stage of the release lifecycle.\nScope distinction: This team focuses purely on core engineering challenges-not GRC, policy writing, IT desktop security (e.g., endpoint AV), or SecOps/incident response.\nYou will lead a distributed team of elite security engineers spanning cloud security, penetration testing, and software development. Your mandate covers high-impact engineering domains: vulnerability management, AI threat modelling, secure software development lifecycles (SSDLC), agentic SDLC workflows, disaster recovery planning (DRP), and cloud infrastructure hardening.\nReporting to the Engineering Director - Platform & Security, you will balance strategic architectural leadership with deep technical execution to safeguard our services in a high-scale, regulated fintech environment.\nKey Responsibilities\nLeadership & Security Architecture\nTeam Leadership: Manage, recruit, and mentor a global team of security engineers, fostering technical excellence and clear career progression paths.\n\nArchitecture Design: Define and implement high-level security architecture across existing systems and greenfield projects.\n\nEngineering Alignment: Partner with Software Engineering and Platform leadership to embed security requirements into roadmaps and sprint cycles.\n\nTechnical Rigour: Stay actively hands-on-conduct architecture design reviews, review critical code, and act as the final decision-maker on complex technical security trade-offs.\n\nExecutive Reporting: Deliver measurable, data-backed metrics and reporting on technical security posture to executive stakeholders.\n\nSecure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) & AI Workflows\nStrategy & Tooling: Define and scale the SSDLC strategy, integrating automated security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA) seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines.\n\nThreat Modelling: Institutionalise continuous threat modelling across product teams.\n\nAgentic Workflows: Design and evolve guardrails and secure frameworks tailored for modern agentic software development and AI-assisted workflows.\n\nVulnerability Management & Red Teaming\nProgramme Ownership: Direct the end-to-end vulnerability management programme, including continuous discovery, context-aware triage, remediation SLAs, and board-level risk reporting.\n\nRemediation Drive: Partner with engineering managers to resolve systemic and critical vulnerabilities, unblocking blockers and escalating when timelines slip.\n\nNext-Gen Tooling: Direct AI-assisted tooling strategies, including continuous scanning pipelines and internal automated red-teaming platforms.\n\nIdentity & Access Management (IAM)\nIAM Architecture: Direct identity and access management architecture across multi-cloud infrastructure and customer-facing microservices.\n\nPrivileged Access: Ensure authentication, authorisation, least privilege, and Privileged Access Management (PAM) controls strictly satisfy compliance and internal audit benchmarks.\n\nCloud & Network Security Posture\nPlatform Partnership: Collaborate closely with Platform Engineering to define security guardrails on AWS and GCP (network segmentation, perimeter defence, container runtime security).\n\nChange Governance: Review and sign off on high-risk architectural changes across platform and cloud network boundaries.\n\nAudit & Technical Assurance: Support technical external audits and close compliance gaps (ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA) through direct engineering implementations rather than paperwork.\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\nTechnical Leadership & Hands-on Depth\n8+ years of total experience across software engineering, platform engineering, or security engineering, including 3+ years directly managing engineering teams.\n\nFormer software engineer or technical security specialist who transitioned into engineering management while retaining deep technical fluency.\n\nProven track record designing, building, and running security controls at scale across public clouds (AWS and/or GCP) and container orchestration systems (Kubernetes).\n\nHands-on mastery of secure coding practices, modern DevSecOps integration, threat modelling, and federated identity protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML).\n\nExecution & Stakeholder Management\nProven ability to translate high-level business risk into prioritised, actionable engineering backlogs.\n\nStrong track record delivering multi-quarter technical initiatives from inception to measurable completion.\n\nData-driven decision-maker comfortable defending technical positions to executives and engineers alike.\n\nPragmatic delivery mindset: balancing ironclad security controls with engineering velocity.\n\nDomain Knowledge & Soft Skills\nProfessional experience within regulated financial services, fintech, or payment processing environments.\n\nPractical understanding of security frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS benchmarks).\n\nExceptional written and verbal communication in English, with the clarity to articulate nuanced risk concepts to cross-functional teams.\n\nDemonstrated success leading remote or distributed teams across multiple geographies.\n\nDesired Experience & Qualifications\nExperience dual-running or migrating workloads across both AWS and GCP.\n\nHands-on experience operationalising LLM/AI security models or agentic automation in software engineering.\n\nIndustry certifications reflecting broad architecture and offensive depth (e.g., CISSP, CISM, OSCP, or hyperscaler Security Specialties).\n\nAbout us\nEbury delivers sophisticated, integrated solutions -
