We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors. ## Role Overview We are looking for a Security & Compliance Engineer to turn regulatory requirements into real, running controls — and then prove to auditors that they work. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, heavily regulated environments and knows how to make compliance provable in production rather than on paper. OpenFX is expanding across Europe in a heavily regulated financial environment. As we scale into EU markets, regulators, auditors, and enterprise partners expect provable, continuously operating security controls — not slide decks or one-off audits. Compliance requirements (DORA, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and region-specific regulations) are increasing faster than our ability to operationalize them, and this role exists to close that gap. You will own the security controls and evidence that regulators and auditors care about, end to end — from translating regulatory language into concrete mechanisms through to audit walkthroughs and remediation. You will partner closely with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and engineering to ensure compliance is built into the platform rather than bolted on after the fact. This role is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands (EU/EEA). Key Responsibilities: - Own audit-ready security controls - Design, implement, and maintain technical and operational controls for DORA, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and future regional requirements. - Ensure controls are not just documented, but actually enforced in AWS, Kubernetes, and application layers. - Be the technical counterpart to Legal, Compliance & Risk - Translate regulatory language into concrete security mechanisms. - Partner with Legal and Compliance to monitor new regulations and assess technical impact. - Decide what is "good enough" vs. over-engineered for compliance. - Run audits instead of reacting to them - Own audit preparation, evidence collection, walkthroughs, and remediation tracking. - Build repeatable, automated evidence pipelines instead of last-minute scrambles. - Be the person auditors trust when they ask, "Show me how this actually works." - Embed compliance into the platform - Work with engineering to design systems that are secure by default and defensible to regulators. - Ensure logging, access controls, encryption, monitoring, and change management meet regulatory expectations. - Automate compliance wherever possible - Build tooling and scripts to continuously validate controls (access reviews, logging coverage, config drift). - Reduce manual compliance work over time by pushing checks into code and infrastructure. ## What we are looking for Must-haves: - 6+ years in security engineering, cloud security, or compliance-focused security roles. - Hands-on, operational experience implementing DORA in a production/regulated environment (not advisory only) — e.g. ICT risk management, incident classification and reporting, third-party/ICT vendor oversight, and digital operational resilience testing. GDPR implementation experience is a strong bonus. - Experience supporting SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 audits (strong plus). - Ability to translate regulatory requirements into technical controls. - Strong working knowledge of AWS security fundamentals (IAM, logging, encryption, networking). - Comfortable owning auditor interactions and explaining systems clearly. - Experience building or automating security/compliance processes (Python, Bash, Go, etc.). - Accountability for an audit outcome — if you've never owned one, this role is not a fit. What helps you stand out: - Experience securing Kubernetes environments. - Familiarity with AppSec tooling (SAST/DAST, manual testing). - Experience with AWS security services (GuardDuty, Config, Security Hub). - Prior work in fintech, payments, or regulated infrastructure. - Security or compliance certifications (CISSP, CISA, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, AWS Security). - Familiarity with EU financial regulators and national competent authorities (e.g. DNB/AFM in the Netherlands, EBA/ESMA). ## What We Offer - Competitive salary and benefits package. - Equity in a rapidly growing company. - Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation. - Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure - Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status. ## About OpenFX ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: OpenFX is building a modern, real-time settlement network that replaces outdated cross-border payment systems, enabling businesses to move money globally with 99% faster settlement and significantly lower costs. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Prabhakar Reddy (Founder & CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Financial Services, Cross-Border Payments, FX (Foreign Exchange) Infrastructure, Fintech - **Target customers**: B2B; finance teams at enterprises and businesses of all sizes that need to move money across borders; companies needing embedded financial infrastructure. - **Mission or purpose statement**: "Make money move as freely as data."
