About Anyfin
Anyfin is a fintech on a mission to challenge the status quo, lowering interest rates, removing unnecessary fees, and helping people take control of their finances. With more than a million app downloads across Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Germany, we've helped hundreds of thousands of people save money.
We recently obtained our banking license, which means new opportunities and new responsibilities. We're looking for someone to own security and help us meet regulatory requirements (including DORA) without drowning in bureaucracy.
Your mission
This is a hands-on generalist role where you’ll own Anyfin’s security posture across governance, technical security, and operations. But you won’t do it in isolation, you’ll have support from legal, compliance, and engineering. Your job is to coordinate, drive, and make sure things actually happen.
Some areas require your depth (security governance, technical security practices). Other areas require you to coordinate and oversee (incident response, vendor security, training). We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable with that mix and pragmatic about where to focus.
This is not a “build a security empire” role. It’s roll-up-your-sleeves work: drafting policies that make sense, running access reviews, helping out in GCP, and making sure we’re genuinely secure and not just compliant on paper.
What you’ll do
Security is a top priority for Anyfin right now, not “someday”. With a banking license in place and new regulatory requirements (including DORA), this role will be central to making sure we scale in a secure, resilient, and pragmatic way.
You’ll own and drive the full security agenda across three core areas:
1) Governance & compliance (done pragmatically)
You’ll make sure we have the right foundations in place such as policies, routines, documentation, and reporting without creating unnecessary overhead. This includes:
Drafting and maintaining security policies, instructions, and routines that meet both operational and regulatory requirements
Internal and external reporting
Staying on top of DORA and relevant frameworks (with support from legal/compliance)
Maintaining the Registry of Information and supporting risk assessments, including NPAP
Preparing for and following up on audits
2) Technical security (not just compliance on paper)
You’ll work closely with engineering to ensure our security practices are real, working, and continuously improving, not something that just looks good in a document. This includes:
Making sure we’re actually secure, not just compliant
Defining and enforcing technical security practices together with engineering
Helping implement changes where needed (hands-on when it matters)
Supporting or owning IAM and access administration
3) Security operations (prepared, tested, and running)
You’ll coordinate the operational side of security and make sure we stay on top of risks, incidents, and third parties as we grow. This includes:
Running access reviews and ensuring follow-up and remediation
Commissioning penetration tests, reviewing results, and making sure findings are addressed
Operational support on ICT risks, including risk assessments
Leading incident response when things go wrong — and making sure we’re prepared before they do
Driving security awareness and building a security-conscious culture
Overseeing vendor and supply chain security assessments
Supporting business continuity and disaster recovery planning
Providing training
What we're looking for
We’re looking for someone with 5–8 years of experience in security roles and a strong technical foundation (security engineering, DevSecOps, infrastructure security, or similar). You have hands-on cloud security experience (GCP preferred) and are familiar with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar.
You’re able to translate regulatory requirements into pragmatic processes that work in the real world, and you communicate clearly and confidently across the organisation. You’re also comfortable being a generalist and the only dedicated ICT security person, while still believing that security is everyone’s responsibility here.
Nice to have: experience in financial services or with DORA/EBA guidelines, experience with Google Cloud Security Command Center, and the ability to read and review code.
