The company upholds the highest industry standards and RS2’s in-house designed payments solution is the software of choice by many of the world’s leading and most innovative banks and financial institutions.\nThe Role\nAt RS2 we treat the security of our data and cryptographic assets as our highest priority. We are looking for a meticulous, highly responsible Security Engineer to join our team, focusing specifically on Cryptographic Key Management and Hardware Security Module (HSM) administration.\nThis is a Junior to Mid-level role perfect for an Information Security professional who has a solid grasp of security fundamentals and is eager to specialize. We are not looking for someone who just waits for instructions; we want a proactive team member who takes initiative, owns their responsibilities, asks hard questions, and pushes the boundaries of how we secure our most critical cryptographic infrastructure.\nResponsibilities\nKey Lifecycle Management: Assist in the generation, distribution, rotation, revocation, and destruction of cryptographic keys across the organization.\nHSM Administration: Support the daily operation, configuration, and maintenance of our Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and Key Management Systems (KMS).\nProactive Monitoring: Monitor HSM health, capacity, and audit logs. Take initiative to identify potential anomalies or bottlenecks before they impact production.\nAccess & Policy Control: Ensure strict adherence to access control policies and cryptographic best practices (e.g., least privilege, separation of duties).\nDocumentation & Compliance: Maintain meticulous, up-to-date documentation of key management procedures, disaster recovery plans, and HSM configurations.\nContinuous Improvement:Research emerging cryptographic threats. Take the lead on identifying areas where our current processes can be optimized or securely automated.\nRequirements\nExperience: 1 to 3+ years of experience in Information Security, IT infrastructure, or a related field.\nInfoSec Foundation: A strong understanding of core Information Security principles, cryptography fundamentals (symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, PKI), and network security.\nHigh Sense of Responsibility: Cryptography requires zero margin for error. [redacted]\nProactive Initiative: You are a self-starter. When you notice a gap in documentation, a process that could be improved, or an upcoming tech requirement, you take the initiative to address it or propose solutions.\nTechnical Acumen: Exposure to or hands-on experience with HSMs (e.g., Thales, Entrust, Utimaco) and enterprise Key Management Systems. Note: For junior candidates, strong theoretical knowledge combined with a high aptitude to learn is acceptable.\nWork Ethic: You are highly organized, process-oriented, and cautious when dealing with critical production environments.\nGrowth Mindset: You are naturally curious, unafraid to tackle complex technical manuals, and eager to step out of your comfort zone to master new security technologies.\nAdditional Assets: Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, or foundational cloud security certifications (AWS/Azure/GCP) are considered a strong asset. Experience in highly regulated environments (Finance, Healthcare, Government) is also highly beneficial.\nThink you’ve got what it takes?\nApply directly to get the conversation started! All applications will be treated with strict confidence.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3536,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T19:39:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.173,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":101,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T20:22:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3066,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":57011},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=57011"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frs2-software-security-engineer-hsm-and-key-management"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3289210}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rs2.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3289210},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
