Combining these values with our conviction make Ledn an unstoppable force in changing the world for the better. The Opportunity: As a full-time Sr. Security Engineer & CISO, you'll be a hands-on, high-ownership individual contributor strengthening our product, cloud, and software delivery security. You'll find vulnerabilities before attackers do, build controls that prevent entire classes of issues from reaching production, and help engineers ship securely. A builder-and-breaker role: you'll assess our applications, APIs, AWS environment, Cloudflare edge, and GitHub workflows from an adversary's perspective, then partner with owners to remediate findings and validate fixes. You'll turn lessons learned into standards, automation, and measurable improvements, while collaborating with Software Engineering, DevOps, Risk, and Compliance to deliver technical controls, audit evidence, and incident readiness. This dual-mandate role is based in Spain. Beyond hands-on security engineering, you'll serve as the Spain entity's CISO within the second line of defense — owning the local Information Security Framework and ICT Risk Register, reporting periodically to the Board, and acting as primary contact for the CNMV and external auditors on cybersecurity and DORA compliance.
