At Qred, we’re building the bank for small businesses. Since launching 11 years ago, we’ve grown from startup to profitable fintech scale-up, now generating over 1 billion SEK in annual revenue and supporting 50,000+ entrepreneurs across Northern Europe. We combine smart technology, real data, and human judgment to make financing simple, fast, and fair. With bold growth plans and strong momentum across multiple markets, we’re now looking for a SecOps Engineer for the next phase of growth.

About the Role

As a SecOps Engineer within our Engineering Enablers domain, you will bridge the gap between rigorous security standards and high-velocity product delivery. You will have end-to-end ownership of the security guardrails that protect our platform, moving away from manual gates toward automated, self-service security. Your mission is to empower our engineering teams to ship code confidently by embedding security into the very fabric of our scaling financial systems.

Key responsibilities

• Architect and implement automated security guardrails within our AWS environment to ensure proactive risk mitigation.

• Support and mentor product teams during the discovery phase to integrate security requirements into the initial design of new features.

• Define and manage company-wide security policies, translating complex compliance needs into actionable engineering practices.

• Lead the response to security incidents, driving the process from initial detection and analysis through to containment and long-term resolution.

• Drive the adoption of security awareness programs across the organization, using data to measure and improve our collective security posture.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a professional who thrives in a decentralized environment and values enablement over enforcement. As we are highly invested in AI, you possess a strong understanding of how to enable secure development processes and data integrity within that space. You are motivated by the challenge of building scalable frameworks that reduce cognitive load for other engineers while maintaining the high integrity required of a regulated bank.

Qualifications

• Several years of experience in security engineering or DevSecOps, ideally within Fintech or another highly regulated industry.

• Deep technical knowledge of AWS security services, IAM frameworks, and cloud infrastructure.

• Practical experience in incident management and the development of automated security tooling.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical roadmaps and drive alignment across distributed teams.

• Practical experience with EDR/XDR solutions and MDM frameworks is preferred.
