We've built a platform that makes investing in income-generating assets simple, transparent, and accessible. And we're expanding fast.\nWe'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.\nAs 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.\nIf this is the kind of problem you want to solve, let’s talk.\nWhat you'll do\nYou 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.\nYou will:\nOwn day-to-day security operations, including monitoring, threat detection, and incident response.\n\nOperate and improve security tooling, including SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanners, endpoint protection, and antivirus solutions.\n\nConduct security and vulnerability tests across cloud and on-premise environments, analyse results, and write up findings in vulnerability reports.\n\nFollow up on vulnerability scans, risk assessments, and audits by tracking remediation timelines, updating Jira, and collaborating with stakeholders on their progress.\n\nResearch security enhancements and emerging threats, and drive adoption of improvements across the team.\n\nLead the security review of new systems or infrastructure changes.\n\nShape security culture through awareness activities, training support, and clear, consistent documentation of processes and controls.\n\nYour professional skills and background\nMust-haves\nExperience in system and network management, cloud solution administration, security operations, or a related role.\n\nFamiliarity with key AWS services (e.g., IAM, VPC, CloudWatch).\n\nBasic scripting ability (Python, Go, or Bash) to support log analysis and incident response tasks.\n\nComfortable working across both technical tasks (tooling, monitoring, testing) and documentation tasks - this role genuinely blends both.\n\nStrong written and spoken communication in English.\n\nAbility to follow established processes and guidance while flagging issues or gaps proactively.\n\nNice-to-haves\nExperience in a regulated company within the financial services industry.\n\nFamiliarity with regulatory frameworks such as DORA (EU 2022/2554), PCI DSS or similar.\n\nExposure to CI/CD pipelines, containers, or microservices.\n\nExperience with ticketing systems for security operations.\n\nDon't tick every box? We still encourage you to apply. We hire for strong fundamentals and growth potential.\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive salary and stock options. Your experience and contribution matter, and we reflect that in fair compensation. You’ll also receive equity so you can share in the value you help create.\nFlexibility that fits real life. We do our best work side by side, so our offices are at the heart of how we collaborate. We also know life doesn’t always follow a schedule, so we offer flexibility where it’s needed, including up to 90 days a year working from another country, with your manager’s approval. Arrangements vary by location and team.\nGenerous vacation policy. Rest and recovery are essential. We don’t limit vacation to the minimum required by law. Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed.\nLearning and growth. An annual €1,200 learning budget to support your professional and personal growth. Whether you want to explore something new or deepen your expertise, we’ll support you along the way.\nVery well equipped office. Comfortable environment matters.
