Security Engineer - Security Operations

Tink was founded in 2012, and a decade later became part of Visa in 2022. Tink was created with the aim of changing the banking industry for the better. We have built Europe’s most robust open banking platform - with the broadest, deepest connectivity and powerful services that create value out of the financial data. We offer the tools that allow anyone - from big banks and fintechs to startups - to build the future of financial services across Europe.

The security vision of Tink is to “make sure that our customers and our own employees trust that Tink secures their data better than what their bank does”. The aim is not a perception of trust, but real, verifiable trust. And yes ... we are well aware that for a company to gain the trust of its own employees (who actually know all the “unseen” details of how data is stored, accessed, processed and protected), this is a much harder task. But challenging existing ideas and suggesting innovative solutions is part of Tink's values & DNA and we in the security teams do not shy away from such challenges.

What we offer you
As a security engineer in the security operations team you will continuously work with our ability to identify and react to vulnerabilities and security incidents. You can identify critical resources in our cloud native environment and ensure that we are properly monitoring it with logs and alerts set up in our SIEM. You can also use Python (or Go) to automate whatever can be automated so that our security tooling can scale as Tink grows. As a member of the security operations team you should also be able to quickly and accurately identify and assess incidents and vulnerabilities. And most importantly; you will work together with the rest of the organisation to do whatever it takes to keep our customers' data secure.

- Working in a company with a very strong security culture
- Working in a team of competent and ambitious but at the same time humble and friendly individuals (yes, it is possible to have all of them at the same time)
- Possibility to successfully pitch your own ideas and get time to work on them


- Provide tooling that supports the infrastructure team in identifying misconfigurations and securely scaling our cloud environment

- Continuously work with improving visibility into our cloud native infrastructure and services

- Continuously improve our threat detection capabilities by, for example, conducting purple teaming exercises together with our engineering teams

- Strive to make working tasks and tooling automatic with minimal human interaction

- Conduct proactive monitoring, investigation, and mitigation of security incidents



What we look for
