  • Integrate security tooling and controls directly into CI/CD pipelines to enable secure-by-default delivery.

  • Develop and maintain SOAR playbooks and security automation scripts.
  • Produce and maintain clear security documentation while mentoring and supporting other engineers.

Requirements:

What it takes to succeed:

  • 5+ years of experience in security engineering roles.
  • Strong expertise in AWS and Azure cloud environments, with Kubernetes experience considered beneficial.
  • Hands-on experience with SIEM and XDR platforms such as Splunk, KQL, or Chronicle.
  • Deep knowledge of identity and access management including SSO, SAML/OIDC, PIM/PAM, and SCIM.
  • Practical experience using infrastructure and automation tools such as Terraform, Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
  • Experience integrating security controls into CI/CD pipelines and modern delivery workflows.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously, prioritise effectively, and lead complex investigations end to end.
  • Strong collaboration skills with the ability to influence engineering teams and act as a trusted security advisor.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills with a strong focus on documentation and knowledge sharing.



What you can look forward to::

At Paymentology, it’s not just about building great payment technology, it’s about building a company where people feel they belong and their work truly matters. You’ll join a diverse, global team committed to strengthening secure financial ecosystems at scale.
