About the role
- TL;DR We sell trust, and security is core to that promise.
- You don't need to be the world's deepest expert in both, but you need to be knowledgeable in each and capable of hiring and managing those who are. - You can write production code, not just review it.
- Every day that people interact with legacy financial infrastructure costs humanity time and money.
Responsibilities
- Own our security posture across application security, infrastructure security, and operational security.
- Design and implement security controls, monitoring, and incident response processes appropriate for a regulated payments environment.
- Hire, manage, and supervise specialist contractors or future security hires as the team grows.
- Ship internal security tooling and features. We need someone who can build, not just advise.
- Experience building security programs at early-stage or high-growth companies, ideally from scratch.
- You'll help design the systems, practices, and safeguards that enable us to grow without compromising on that trust.
- We sell trust - trust is easy to lose. Security and integrity are our foundation. Use every interaction and every product as an opportunity to build trust. This is non-negotiable.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in security engineering, with meaningful time at a payments company, bank, or other regulated financial institution.
- Experience with cloud environments (GCP) and infrastructure as code providers (Terraform).
- You can write production code, not just review it.

- Do the dishes - we are all owners. Put ego aside and get shit done.
- We enjoy the crucible! We are on a mission to change money. It takes a lot of optimism to attack such an ambitious goal. Our opportunity is a privilege and we don't forget that. Especially when the journey is hard.
