You will work directly with the CTO and development teams, managing identity and access, cloud security, incident response, and regulatory compliance while operating at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Cloud Security

  • Design and maintain secure cloud architectures in AWS/GCP/Azure, enforcing best practices for network segmentation, encryption, and access control.
  • Secure all CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code deployments, integrating security at every stage of development.

Microsoft 365 & Internal IT Security

  • Administer and enforce security policies across Microsoft 365 services, including Azure AD, Intune, Defender, and Exchange.
  • Implement device management policies (MDM), access controls, and security monitoring to protect employee endpoints and corporate resources.
  • Monitor insider threats, privilege misuse, and data leaks, ensuring all internal business operations follow strict security standards.

Threat Intelligence & Proactive Security

  • Deploy real-time security monitoring and AI-assisted anomaly detection to identify and mitigate cyber threats before they escalate.
  • Conduct regular penetration tests and vulnerability assessments across cloud and internal systems.
  • Implement and fine-tune automated security alerting and response mechanisms to streamline threat detection and mitigation.

Identity & Access Management (IAM) & Zero Trust Security

  • Manage role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and privileged account security.
  • Enforce Zero Trust Security principles, ensuring strict least-privilege access across all internal and external systems.

Regulatory Compliance & Security Governance

  • Ensure compliance with PSD2, AML, GDPR, ISO 27000 series, and client security requirements by maintaining security policies and technical safeguards.
  • Conduct security audits and assist with compliance reporting for internal and external stakeholders.

Collaboration with Engineering Teams

  • Work directly with developers to secure applications, APIs, and cloud environments, ensuring all new features follow security best practices.
  • Provide security guidance during architecture reviews, software development, and infrastructure scaling efforts.

  • Experience in developing security policies, auditing IT environments, and enforcing security compliance across corporate and cloud infrastructures.

Work Environment & Expectations

  • Hands-on role: This is not a leadership-track position; we need a technical security expert, not a manager.
  • Office-based work: This position is not remote—you must work onsite in Limassol, Cyprus, or Tallinn, Estonia.
  • Collaboration with internal teams: You will work closely with developers, DevOps, and IT teams, ensuring security enhances, rather than hinders, business operations.

Location & Work Authorisation

This position is based onsite in Limassol, Cyprus, or Tallinn, Estonia.

  • Non-EU/EEA candidates must already have full legal authorisation to work in Cyprus or Estonia at the time of application. A work permit from another EU/EEA country does not automatically allow employment in Cyprus or Estonia, and we cannot provide visa sponsorship or process new work permit applications.
  • Considering relocating? Feel free to reach out to us before applying to confirm your eligibility.
  • We offer strong career growth opportunities for EU/EEA professionals looking to relocate and contribute to our dynamic team.

Equal Opportunity & Confidentiality

We also respect the confidentiality of our projects. Specific details about security infrastructure and strategies will be shared during later interview stages.

Relocation Support (Cyprus)

For selected EU-citizen candidates or those already holding a valid Cyprus work permit, Magnum Grail provides comprehensive relocation support for you and your family. We assist with accommodation, local registration, and schooling or childcare options, so you can focus on securing next-generation fintech solutions. Embrace year-round sunshine, a welcoming community, and an environment that fosters both professional and personal fulfilment.
