Upvest

Security Operations Senior/Lead (f/m/d)

Berlin

September 6, 2024

Upvest, founded in 2017, enables any financial institution to offer great investment experiences to its customers. Upvest is an investment firm regulated by the German supervision authority (Ba Fin). The company currently employs 160+ people across Europe with its headquarters based in Berlin, Germany.
The company is backed by the world’s largest venture capital funds and investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, Black Rock, Earlybird, HV Capital, Notion Capital, and ABN Amro Ventures, as well as by renowned fintech entrepreneurs (including Maximilian Tayenthal, founder of N26, and Felix Haas, founder of IDnow).
We’re looking for fintech enthusiasts to join us in creating the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. We’re building the first European Investment API to enable any financial institution offering a wide range of efficient and transparent investment products, such as stocks and ETFs in nominal, portfolio, and fractional form. Our mission and vision is to make investing as easy as spending money.
We’re based in Berlin but are also open to hiring remotely in the following countries: Germany, Switzerland, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands, UK, France and Spain for this role. If you're currently based elsewhere but would like to move to Germany, we’re happy to support your relocation.

Your mission:
We’re looking for a passionate multidisciplinary Security Operations Lead to join our Security team and lead the design, implementation and maintenance of effective security monitoring and response processes. Your job is to think like an attacker, to establish world-class Sec Ops capabilities in order to protect our employees and our platform. The goal of the Security team at Upvest is to help move security to the left, assist teams with producing secure solutions, and develop strong internal security controls and processes. We’re an English-speaking team, so no German knowledge will be required.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

Report to our Chief Security Officer to support a wide range of cybersecurity tasks, with a focus on operational security topics
Work closely with Product and Cloud Security Engineering, and Tech Ops teams as subject matter expert (SME) on security configurations, monitoring, detection and response
Establish automated alerting and response processes by leveraging SIEM and security orchestration tools
Develop solutions that augment internal security monitoring, and strengthen controls and processes
Lead incident management activities if a security event occurs
While the long-term goal is to build a small team, you will need to be capable and comfortable with being the sole hands-on at the start (with support from the rest of the Security team)

Job Requirements:

A real passion for information security, staying abreast of developments in the field, and a desire to share knowledge and educate others
At least 8 years of experience working in cyber security
A strong foundation in general cybersecurity practices with deep technical knowledge in web application/API and infrastructure security
Prior experience building and running security monitoring functions (e.g. SIEM)
Prior experience using low/no code or SOAR solutions to automate a variety of security operations and processes
Prior experience with Cloud computing and security (ideally with Google Cloud Platform)
Knowledge of our modern tech-stack (Cloudflare, Datadog, Golang, Postgres, Docker, k8s) is a plus
Confident understanding of Linux and mac OS
Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate complex concepts to other Upvengers

Why Upvest?

Greenfield projects. We’re building something quite complex and a first in Europe. This means we’re working with cutting-edge technologies and with no legacy code.
Wellbeing. At Upvest, everyone has access to our in-house coach where you can have regular sessions to support you personally and professionally.
Development. In keeping with one of our core values, ‘Learn and Grow’, every Upvenger has access to a development budget. In line with one of our other values, ‘Own the Outcome’, how you choose to make the most of it, is up to you.
Flexibility. We work in a hybrid setup with a team distributed around Germany and Europe. We give you the choice (and budget) to spend your time where you are most comfortable and productive, either at home or the office. You choose.

Our values:

Learn and grow. We aim high to shape our future. We give and request honest feedback knowing that we develop together. Progression over Perfection.
Team first. We make it easy for others. We value our differences and are open to others' opinions. We win and celebrate together! The team over Egos.
Own the outcome. Whether we win or we lose, we stand together. We are proactive and get the job done. Outcome over Process.
Tell the story. We always start with the why. We share knowledge to empower others. Transparency over Complexity.

Upvest is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
