About the Information Security Specialist Role

">

In this role, you will be responsible for protecting Float's data and platforms from cyber threats, ensuring the security and integrity of our financial services platform. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product management, Infrastructure, and compliance, to design and implement robust security measures that align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

">

You will develop, implement, and maintain security policies, standards, and procedures to safeguard sensitive financial data. Conduct risk assessments and vulnerability assessments to identify security weaknesses and recommend remediation strategies. Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security controls into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and promote secure coding practices.

">

Key Responsibilities

">
  • Develop, implement, and maintain security policies, standards, and procedures to safeguard sensitive financial data.
  • Conduct risk assessments and vulnerability assessments to identify security weaknesses and recommend remediation strategies.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security controls into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and promote secure coding practices.
  • Monitor security systems and incident response tools to detect and respond to potential security breaches in real-time.
  • Perform regular security audits, penetration testing, and threat modeling to ensure the ongoing security posture of applications and infrastructure.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest security trends, vulnerabilities, and regulatory requirements affecting the fintech industry.
  • Provide security awareness training and support to employees and stakeholders to promote a culture of security across the organization.
  • Assist in the development and execution of disaster recovery and business continuity plans to mitigate risks associated with data loss.
">

Requirements

">
  • Familiarity with integrating security practices into CI/CD pipelines, ideally using tools compatible with your existing setup (such as Buildkite).
  • Understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security, particularly with Terraform.
  • Knowledge of relevant compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
  • Experience with risk assessment and management in cloud environments.
  • Experience with network monitoring and intrusion detection/prevention.
  • Experience with vulnerability scanning tools and methods for identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities (e.g. Wiz).
  • Understanding of common security vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top Ten) and experience in security testing techniques.
    • You're an owner. You love a challenge, and take great satisfaction in tackling them head on. You love being a pioneer and taking on any task (big or small) and driving it through to completion.
    • You're able to explain complex problems in simple terms. As you'll be communicating your requirements to different stakeholders, your ability to present a solution in an understandable way is vital.
    • You have solid technical skills. Strong skills in Security, Authentication, Infrastructure, Cloud technologies, Development, Vulnerability Management, and Threat detection and remediation.
    • You understand the business context. You'll be more effective if you understand how your role supports the business and where you can influence the vision and strategy of Float.
    • You're comfortable with a fast-paced environment. Float is a dynamic environment and things can change quickly. You should be flexible and able to adapt to changes as they occur.
    • You have a strategic mindset. You act in the now but plan for the future. You see where our platform needs to go, put a plan in place, and proactively drive that change.
    • You can balance attention to detail and strategic thinking. While it's important to delve into the details of your data, it's equally important to keep the big picture in mind.
    • You ruthlessly prioritize. You will have multiple responsibilities and projects. Being able to effectively manage your workload and meet deadlines is crucial.
    • You're eager to continue your own learning. Scrappy and voracious, you want to know the 'why' behind every answer. You love to have healthy debates with fellow developers and colleagues about the product.
    ">

    This Role Won't Be a Fit If:

    ">
    • You're not extremely detail oriented.
    • You are not open to a hybrid role.
    • You aren't a self-starter and don't like to work independently.

    • You aren't able to translate technical jargon into simple language.
    • You lack patience for iterative work.
