Confirmo is one of the fastest growing crypto payment gateways, and our flexible solutions, low fees, and top-class support make it easy for businesses of all sizes to accept crypto payments. Forbes US named us among the best crypto payment gateways in the world and we don't plan to slow down! Since 2022, we’ve grown 700% in volume and now process over $60M+ monthly. We are in the process of obtaining our MiCA licence in Ireland and as part of this expansion, we plan to hire approximately eight employees in Ireland, with a CISO as a top priority.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Understand our business risks, evaluate our existing security standards and practices, identify the biggest threats and vulnerabilities and propose lightweight yet efficient solutions.
  • Architect and implement cloud security and SDLC controls, including access management, network security, encryption, data management and threat detection, following industry best practices.
  • Design, build, and operate scalable security solutions across our cloud infrastructure, ensuring resilience, high availability, and automation at scale.
  • Evaluate our software development lifecycle from a security perspective, actively collaborate on feature definitions and MRs that require security assessment.
  • Define and enforce digital security policies, collaborating with engineering teams to drive adoption and ensure consistent implementation.
  • Collaborate with compliance and operations teams to align our security practices with regulatory and industry standards such as DORA, ISO 27001 and others, plus support certification or audit readiness where needed.


Your Profile:

  • 7+ years of cybersecurity experience. An ideal candidate even tried a managerial role in that field but realised hands-on experience in a fast paced environment is a lot more entertaining role.
  • Strong background in security monitoring and detection engineering for cloud environments.
  • Strong background in programming. You don’t have to be a seasoned software developer, but general programming in multiple languages and the ability to understand even complex source code is a must. LLMs help, but responsibility remains on our shoulders. Our main languages are JVM (Java or Kotlin) and Javascript/Typescript plus a lot of Python and other scripting.
  • Experience with public cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS).
  • Experience with edge security solutions, especially Cloudflare
  • Any relevant certifications are a plus, e.g.: CISSP, CEH, OSWA, OSWE, etc
  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent.
  • Familiarity with the FinTech environment and/or the cryptocurrency domain is a strong plus.
  • Analytical thinking, highly organised mind. We don’t have the capacity to micromanage, we need to rely on your abilities.
  • Strong ability to prioritise and choose your battles. Our security imperfections need to be carefully evaluated and their solution deliberately prioritised.
