IT Security Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 11, 2026.
Millions of people across Europe want better ways to build long-term wealth, but traditional investing often feels complex or out of reach.
Mintos is solving that. We've built a platform that makes investing in income-generating assets simple, transparent, and accessible. And we're expanding fast.
We're currently on our way to obtaining a banking license from the European Central Bank (ECB). It will open new possibilities and help us build even more trust, which is key to long-term wealth building.
As our IT Security Engineer, you’ll bring hands-on security expertise to a function that’s still taking shape, helping keep our cloud and on-premise environments secure as we grow to millions of investors.
If this is the kind of problem you want to solve, let’s talk.
What you'll do
You will own day-to-day security operations across our cloud and on-premise environments, from monitoring and threat detection through to incident response. You will operate and continuously improve the tools that protect our systems, run security and vulnerability tests, and turn findings into clear, actionable reports. Working closely with engineering and our IT Security Manager, you will bring your own judgment to identifying risks and shaping improvements across a security function that’s still taking form.
You will:
Own day-to-day security operations, including monitoring, threat detection, and incident response.
Operate and improve security tooling, including SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanners, endpoint protection, and antivirus solutions.
Conduct security and vulnerability tests across cloud and on-premise environments, analyse results, and write up findings in vulnerability reports.
Follow up on vulnerability scans, risk assessments, and audits by tracking remediation timelines, updating Jira, and collaborating with stakeholders on their progress.
Research security enhancements and emerging threats, and drive adoption of improvements across the team.
Lead the security review of new systems or infrastructure changes.
Shape security culture through awareness activities, training support, and clear, consistent documentation of processes and controls.
