IT Security Engineer

It Security And Compliance Manager

We're looking for an IT security and compliance manager who's excited to help us bring our vision to life and ensuring we take the most secure approach to building Europe's leading investment platform.

If you're up for the challenge to grow Mintos into a multi-asset investment platform, we'd be excited to get to know you!

Could this role be an ideal match for you?

Do you enjoy diving deep into the technical side of IT security, identifying vulnerabilities, analyzing threats, and responding to incidents, while also ensuring that systems and processes meet regulatory requirements? If you're a proactive problem-solver with strong technical skills and a solid grasp of industry standards and regulations, this role could be the next step in your career.

What you will do

As an IT security and compliance manager, you will focus on the technical aspects of our information system security - detecting and addressing vulnerabilities, improving defenses, and responding to incidents, while ensuring alignment with relevant security regulations and standards.

You will:

• Run regular vulnerability scans and conduct penetration testing to identify and address security gaps;
• Review code and configurations to ensure compliance with secure development practices;
• Promote security awareness through training, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration, and provide guidance on selecting, implementing, and configuring IT security tools in line with best-practice standards;
• Investigate security alerts and incidents, refine detection rules, and drive continuous improvement, while actively contributing to incident response activities including detection, containment, investigation, and recovery;
• Stay informed about emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits that could impact our technology environment;
• Participate in and support regular IT security risk assessments.

Your professional skills and background:

• 3+ years of experience in IT security, compliance, or related roles. Experience in a regulated company within the financial services industry will be considered a bonus;
• Good knowledge of relevant security standards and laws (e.g., ISO 27001, OWASP web and mobile, GDPR). Knowledge of regulations related to the financial services industry (e.g., DORA) will be considered a bonus;
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM) will be considered a bonus;
• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and take initiative;
• Strong communication skills in English and Latvian, both written and spoken.

What we offer:

Meaning. Ground-floor opportunity to change the world of investing as we know it.

Care and attention. You will get health insurance, but more importantly, you will get a team of genuinely great co-workers who will support you in your work and share some more or less funny jokes along the way. We want you to enjoy your job, not stress about it.

Stock options. In addition to a competitive salary, you'll get a stake in Mintos. We believe in what we do, and we hire people who own the work they do. This lets you participate in the value you help to create at Mintos.

Hybrid work model. Work is a thing you do, not somewhere you go. We believe a combination of working in our office and working from home offers the best of both worlds.

A personal learning budget. €1000 EUR each year for your professional development, including access to our book library. Choose how to use this yourself - take courses, visit conferences, etc.

Flexibility. We trust you to shape your day in a way that fits both your rhythm and your team's needs.

A flexible vacation policy. At Mintos we don't limit vacation time to the 4 weeks stipulated by law.

Snacks and drinks. Our kitchen is always packed with tasty snacks and drinks. If you got into the flow and stayed in the office longer than usual - the dinner is on us. And there is also a canteen downstairs in our building, providing healthy lunch options.

Parking. We've got you covered with access to parking near the office.

Massage chair. Need a quick break? Enjoy a massage and return to work refreshed and re-energized.

Naproom. On days when you came to the office but got sugar-crushed from too many Nutella coated snacks, take a power nap to get your energy back to optimal levels.

Shower. Cycling or running to work in the morning or going to the gym during lunch? We have showers. And we like sports.

Mintos is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. If you need assistance with the interview due to a disability, please write to people@mintos.com.
