We are looking for an Information Technology Security Analyst to join our expanding team. The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining the overall security posture of the IT systems, they should have excellent communication and an acute attention to detail, they should be able to work independently as well as part of a team.
Everything we do at the Company is to help entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. We make simple, intuitive and user-friendly payment products (and soon much more) so that they can focus on growing their businesses. A well-established FinTech with a casual, fun development culture with a work hard, play hard attitude. We are looking for passionate people who are interested in tech, problem-solving and making a difference through their craft. Our philosophy is to make a difference; think big and to put our hearts into everything we do.
We aim to be great engineers and craftsmen. Our problems are real-time and at scale. We embrace new tech rapidly, where it makes sense, using it in the real world instead of doing a proof of concept in the corner. For example, we collaborated with AWS in developing their fraud detector - we released a live system while it was still in pre-release. We aren't afraid of rebuilding things like when we rewrote our entire payment system a couple of years back into microservices in .NET and then learned python to start going serverless. Our engineering process is always a work in progress, so come and help us pioneer it.
