  • Mentoring and providing security guidance to various departments within the organization.
  • Supporting other security team initiatives, including threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and audits.
  • Participating in on-call shifts to address critical alerts outside of regular hours.

You will aspire to our four core values:

  • Multistakeholder - you are dedicated to our customers, shareholders, employees, families, and local communities.
  • Mindful - you strive to be respectful, an active listener, and attentive to detail.
  • Driven by Excellence - you are motivated by our mission and passion for customer success, relentlessly pursuing excellence and rejecting mediocrity.
  • High Integrity - you advocate for open and honest communication, adhering to high moral and ethical standards while rejecting manipulation and dishonesty.

What you'll bring to Circle:

  • A minimum of 4 years of experience as a security engineer, site reliability engineer, devops/cloudops engineer, or systems engineer, with at least two years focused on cybersecurity or incident management.
  • A passion for scalable and reproducible security management.
  • Self-motivated and innovative problem-solver capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
  • Strong collaborative skills to work effectively across teams during high-pressure situations.
  • Ability to manage multiple competing priorities and exercise sound judgment in establishing priorities.
  • In-depth knowledge of incident response and management.
  • Experience with SIEM and SOAR solutions.
  • Background in financial services or financial technology is preferred.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, cybersecurity, or a related field; equivalent experience is also acceptable.
  • Experience in an AWS environment with Terraform is highly desirable.
  • Proficiency in SQL and Python (or similar languages) is required.
