Head of Security Engineering

$340k - $360k

Iceberg

I'm working with a high-growth FinTech company that's looking for an experienced security engineering leader who's still hands-on and enjoys solving technical problems.

You'll lead Security Engineering across product, cloud infrastructure and internal systems. This isn't a governance or compliance role. They're looking for someone who can partner with engineering teams, influence architecture, and build security into how software gets developed.

AI is a big part of the roadmap, so experience securing AI tooling, LLMs or agentic workflows would be a huge plus.

You’ll likely have experience with:

  • Leading Security Engineering or Product Security teams
  • Cloud security (AWS, GCP or Azure)
  • Security architecture and threat modelling
  • Secure SDLC and modern application security
  • IAM, authentication and infrastructure security
  • Building security into fast-moving engineering organisations

Experience within FinTech, payments, digital assets or crypto would be beneficial, but it's by no means essential.

Comp: $340k-$360k base + bonus + equity

If you've built security programmes, enjoy staying technical and want to shape security in an engineering-first business, I'd love to tell you more.
