Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Millions of customers trust Bitpanda to protect their money, identities, and digital assets. As a Senior SOC Analyst, you'll play a critical role in staying ahead of evolving threats by building the capabilities that detect attacks, respond to incidents, and continuously strengthen our security posture.
- You will combine deep technical expertise with engineering excellence to evolve our security operations, drive automation at scale, and collaborate across the business to embed security into everything we build. Your work will directly influence how Bitpanda protects its customers today and how it remains resilient tomorrow.
- Detection engineering. Own the strategy and quality of our detection library in Elastic Security (ES|QL/KQL), designing high-fidelity detections mapped to real-world attacker techniques while continuously improving coverage, reducing noise and raising the maturity of our SOC.
- Drive incident response and threat hunting. Lead investigations into complex security incidents, proactively hunt for advanced threats across AWS, Elastic and Datadog, refine response playbooks, and turn every incident into lasting improvements to our security capabilities.
- Build automation that scales security. Design and implement automated investigation, enrichment and response workflows using SOAR, APIs and custom tooling, reducing manual effort while increasing speed, consistency and resilience across security operations.
- Strengthen Bitpanda's security posture. Improve cloud security monitoring, system hardening, and security tooling across our AWS environment, partner with engineering teams to proactively eliminate risk, and support compliance initiatives including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and DORA.
- Raise the security bar across the organisation. Act as a technical leader within the Security team, mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, champion security best practices and help build a security-first culture across Bitpanda.
- Keep millions of users safe, no matter the time of day. As part of this commitment, you'll participate in a weekly rotating on-call schedule alongside the rest of the team.
