About the role

Our customers trust us with their operating cash, their cards, their payroll, and their cross-border payments. Keeping that money and data safe is one of the most important things we do. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years in security, with meaningful time leading security at a fintech, payments company, bank, or crypto company, where the stakes were real money
  • A builder's track record. You've stood up a security program from an early stage and scaled it through hypergrowth
  • Deep technical credibility. You can go line by line through an auth flow with a senior engineer, and then explain the risk to our board in five minutes
  • Hands-on experience with PCI DSS and SOC 2, and with the security expectations of sponsor banks and the FFIEC-style examinations they run
  • Strong cloud security experience, ideally AWS, in a modern engineering environment that ships quickly
  • Good judgment about tradeoffs. You make security the fast path for engineers, not the blocker

We're hiring our first CISO to own security across the whole company. You'll be responsible for the product, the infrastructure, our people, our vendors, and our relationships with bank partners and auditors. This is not a policy-and-slide-deck role.
