About The Role & Team

We are looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer to join us on our mission of bringing finance and technology together to empower all investors. You will work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment with engineering, infrastructure, and product teams across multiple regions. 

The ideal candidate is security-minded, technically strong, and experienced in designing, implementing, and operating security controls for large-scale cloud-native systems. You will play a key role in protecting backend services, data platforms, and CI/CD pipelines while enabling teams to move fast and securely. 

You will enjoy using automation and modern security tooling to improve detection, response, and prevention capabilities, with a strong focus on cloud security, application security, identity & access management, and continuous security integration. 

In This Role, You Will

• Support vulnerability management activities, including vulnerability scanning, severity assessment (CVSS), remediation tracking, and validation of fixes. 
• Work with engineering teams to support security controls within CI/CD pipelines and development workflows. 
• Assist in identifying, analyzing, and validating vulnerabilities, with a solid understanding of OWASP Top 10 risks. 
• Participate in security operations, including daily alert monitoring, triage, and incident response activities. 
• Support DDoS incident response and assist with basic attack investigation and log analysis. 
• Continuously optimize and tune security alerting and detection rules to reduce false positives. 
• Perform vulnerability scans, port scans, and authorized penetration testing for internal systems and office environments. 
• Research and evaluate security tools and solutions (e.g., WAF, EDR, DLP, PAM, vulnerability scanners, cloud security tools) to support security program development. 
• Assist with implementing and maintaining AWS cloud-native security controls, including IAM, network security, logging, and monitoring. 
• Document security findings clearly and work with relevant teams to ensure issues are tracked and resolved. 

The Skills You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field. 
• 1–3 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience, including vulnerability management, security operations, and security engineering roles. 
• Solid understanding of common cyber threats, attack techniques, and defensive controls, with practical experience identifying and responding to security issues. 
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning, port scanning, and security testing, including analysis and validation of findings. 
• Familiarity with web application security concepts and common vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10. 
• Experience supporting security monitoring, alert triage, and incident response in production or enterprise environments. 
• Foundational knowledge of Linux systems and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, firewalls). 

What Makes You Stand Out

• Hands-on experience from labs, internships, CTFs, or security training environments 
• Exposure cloud security monitoring or detection tools. 
• Practical experience with penetration testing, exploitation techniques, and offensive security tooling, or active preparation for hands-on certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, OSED, OSMR, PNPT, CRTO, or similar practical security certifications. 
• Prior experience in the financial services industry is a plus but not required. 
• Proficiency in Spanish and/or Chinese (Mandarin) is a plus.
