Indexed description

This role is about building security into those APIs, not reviewing them after the fact.

We are looking for a hands-on security engineer who codes, understands how attackers break APIs, and uses that mindset to build real, production security controls.


🚫 Not SOC

🚫 Not compliance

🚫 Not pentest-only

✅ Builder with a breaker mindset


Job Responsibilities:

  • Build and ship API security controls used by product teams (authZ checks, validation, abuse prevention).
  • Defend against business logic attacks (BOLA/IDOR, mass assignment, workflow abuse).
  • Design and validate OAuth2, OIDC, JWT** implementations across internal & external APIs.
  • Build **automated attack simulations to test the controls you deploy.
  • Harden and secure API gateways (Kong / Azure API Gateway).
  • Define security patterns for partner integrations & Open Banking APIs.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or equivalent field.
  • Strong software engineering background (you write production-quality code).
  • Hands-on Application / API Security experience.
  • Deep understanding of REST & GraphQL security.
  • Solid knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), JWT.
  • Comfortable with Python for automation and security tooling.
  • Experience with tools like Postman, Burp Suite, 42Crunch (or similar).


Why This Role:

  • Protect real financial transactions at digital bank scale.
  • Build security once and have it used everywhere.
  • Work closely with platform & product engineering teams.
  • High ownership, real impact, real attackers in mind.


Good Fit If You Are:

  • A security engineer who codes daily.
  • A builder curious about how systems break.
  • Someone who prefers ownership over reports.
