• Map dependencies across systems and processes to uncover vulnerabilities and single points of failure.

• Embed risk controls into engineering workflows, automating checks where possible.

• Feed insights from incidents and tests back into stronger controls and engineering practices.

This challenge is perfect for you if

• You are able to lead IT risk assessments across systems, products, and change initiatives, and drive remediation to completion.

• You know how to design, implement, and monitor IT controls across cloud platforms (AWS), applications, and infrastructure.

• You know how to translate complex technical risks into clear, actionable recommendations for engineering, business, and leadership teams.

• You are able to ensure IT governance and compliance with regulatory frameworks (DORA, PSD2/SCA, EBA guidelines).
