Job description

About Aura Cloud

Aura Cloud is a Nordic SaaS core banking platform provider. Our Aura platform powers banks and financial institutions across the Nordics and Baltics — processing deposits, loans, payments, and cards for regulated customers.

The Role

You will own information security across the Aura platform, infrastructure, and organization — from security architecture and compliance certifications to customer-facing security assurance and incident response.

We are ISO 27001 certified and continuously strengthening our compliance posture across SOC 2, DORA, and other regulatory frameworks. We need someone who can drive certifications, strengthen our security architecture, and be the trusted security voice to our regulated customers.

What You Will Own

Security Architecture & Engineering

Define and maintain the platform's security architecture — network segmentation, encryption, access control, API security, and key management
Review and approve infrastructure changes, new integrations, and API exposure decisions
Own the vulnerability management program — dependency scanning, CVE triage, patching, and remediation tracking
Oversee security monitoring tooling (Wazuh SIEM, EWACS, CloudWatch) — detection rules, alert triage, and tuning

Hands-On Security Engineering

Design and implement AWS security controls directly — IAM policies, security groups, KMS key policies, WAF rulesets, GuardDuty tuning
Lead remediation of penetration test and vulnerability assessment findings across infrastructure and application layers, working hands-on with engineering teams to close gaps
Configure and tune SIEM detection rules and alerting logic (Wazuh or equivalent) — build use cases, not just monitor dashboards
Own certificate lifecycle management and encryption implementation (at-rest and in-transit) across environments
Review and harden infrastructure configurations against CIS benchmarks and similar standards
Work with engineering on secure coding practices and help embed security checks into the development pipeline

Compliance & Certifications

Maintain and evolve the existing ISO 27001 ISMS through annual surveillance audits and continuous improvement
Drive SOC 2 Type II compliance — scope, control implementation, evidence collection, and auditor engagement
Own DORA compliance — ICT risk management, incident classification/reporting, resilience testing, and third-party risk management
Ensure GDPR compliance for platform data processing; work alongside the DPO

Customer Security Assurance

Handle customer security questionnaires, due diligence requests, and audit evidence packages
Produce regular security reports for customers and present at governance meetings
Support RFP responses with security content

Incident Response

Own the incident response plan — severity levels, escalation, communication, and post-incident review
Act as incident commander for security-related P1/P2 incidents; deliver RCA within SLA
Commission and manage annual third-party penetration testing

Policy & Governance

Review and evolve the existing security policy suite to align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DORA
Conduct annual security risk assessments and maintain the risk register
Oversee security awareness training and secure coding practices

What We Are Looking For

Must Have

8+ years in information security — architecture, engineering, or hands-on security lead roles
Experience maintaining an ISO 27001 ISMS through certification and surveillance cycles
Working knowledge of DORA or similar financial sector ICT risk frameworks
Hands-on AWS security experience — IAM, VPC, KMS, WAF, GuardDuty, or equivalent
Experience with SIEM tools (Wazuh, Splunk, Sentinel, or similar)
Understanding of application security — OWASP Top 10, API security, OAuth/JWT/SAML
Ability to communicate security posture to customer executives, auditors, and regulators
Fluent English

Nice to Have

Experience with SOC 2 Type II audits
Background in SaaS companies serving regulated financial institutions
GDPR practitioner experience
Certifications: CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, AWS Security Specialty
