  • Risk Assessment: Continuously assess and monitor the risk landscape, identifying emerging threats and proactively adapting security measures to counteract them.

What you’ll need:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
  • Proven experience (5+ years) working specifically within e-commerce or payment system solutions, security, and architecture / implementation, and ideally 8+ years of professional industry experience.
  • Proven solution design experience, including working with cloud-based services and architecture and a strong understanding of development tooling processes, and methodologies.
  • Familiarity with machine learning and data analytics for solutions, such as fraud detection.
  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities, especially in the field working directly with major enterprise clients, prospects, and partners.  Ability to present complex tech concepts to business stakeholders and working well in a cross-functional team environment.
  • Working knowledge of various payment flows, such as card processing, bank account based payments, online payment platforms (PayPal, etc.), digital wallets (ApplePay, etc.), Buy-Now-Pay-Later services (Klarna, etc.), and more would be a major plus.
