Head of Security
Cryptio
Cryptio is an enterprise-grade crypto back-office platform. Our software helps financial institutions, corporates, and crypto-native companies navigate the fragmented digital-asset landscape with confidence. We’ve raised $26M to date and are backed by tier-1 investors including Point Nine, 1kx, BlueYard, Tim Draper, Alven, and Ledger Cathay. Some of our clients include Circle, Uniswap, and the Government of El Salvador.
We’re tackling one of the biggest challenges in crypto today - building the infrastructure that will enable institutional adoption. And we’re playing to win.
Location
Although this is a remote-first role, we’d like to find someone who is based in the UK with easy access to our hubs in London and Paris.
The Role
We’re looking for a Head of Security; a pragmatic engineer who will own security across our product, infrastructure, and organisation. This is a hands-on builder role, not just governance or policy. You’ll be deploying tools, writing code, setting up processes, and helping us pass audits, sometimes all in the same quarter.
You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and operations to bake security into everything we do. This is an opportunity to take ownership of the security function from day one and grow it into a broader leadership role as the company scales.
What You’ll Be Doing
Secure CI/CD pipelines, container workflows, infra-as-code, and deployment tooling
Define and enforce access controls, auditing, and logging for internal services
Evaluate and manage security tools (EDR, vulnerability scanners, SCA, etc.)
Own and manage internal authentication (SSO, MFA, identity lifecycle)
Secure endpoints, laptops, and internal systems
Lead security awareness and employee training programs
Drive SOC 1/2 and other compliance frameworks
Build internal security policies, playbooks, and operational processes
Manage relationships with vendors, auditors, and pentesters
We’re Looking For Someone Who Has
5+ years of hands-on experience in security engineering, ideally in a SaaS environment
A CISSP or similar certification
Strong knowledge of cloud security, secure software development, and common vulnerabilities
Proven experience securing production environments and CI/CD systems
Familiarity with security compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
Experience deploying and operationalising security tools
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams
A pragmatic, system-oriented mindset that balances risk and speed
