We’re partnered with one of America’s fastest-growing MIT FinTech startups, named to Forbes’ Fintech 50 and Next Billion Dollar Startups lists. They’re now looking to add a Senior Security and Compliance Analyst to support the next stage of growth.
The Role
This is a cross-functional security and compliance role focused on helping design, enforce, and improve security controls across systems, data, and infrastructure. You’ll work closely with teams across the business on long-term initiatives, supporting a security programme that needs to scale as the company continues to grow.

Candidate Profile

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a MIT-founded startup with strong brand recognition and $130M total funding.
- Enjoy a role with variety - a mix of security compliance and engineering.
- Work in a business targeting a huge market opportunity with real scale and visibility.
- Be part of a company with a strong leadership team and a genuinely mission-driven culture.
