The Information Security team at Shine

At Shine, our Security team operates as a strategic driver rather than a support function.

We work directly with leadership to integrate resilience into the company's core, navigating the complex intersection of cloud-native architecture, AI innovation, and rigorous regulatory standards like DORA and ISO 27001.

By partnering cross-functionally with Engineering and Risk, we aren't just maintaining a perimeter; we are building a scalable, high-visibility security framework that defines the future of digital operational excellence in the fintech space.

Your Role as a Cyber Security Manager at Shine

Shine Bank is looking for an

Cyber Security Manager to help shape and operate our information security and digital operational resilience framework. Reporting directly to the

CISO , you will take a key role in implementing and maturing our

Cyber Defence capabilities in close collaboration with IT, Risk, Internal Audit and Management.

As Cyber Security Manager, you will own our defensive security technology stack and our incident-readiness capability.

• Your Responsibilities
• Own, evaluate, and continuously improve our defensive security technology stack — EDR/XDR, DDo S protection, vulnerability management, DLP, and endpoint hardening.
• Ensure robust DDo S protection across our internet-facing and payment-critical services — selecting and managing mitigation solutions (e. g.

Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS Shield) validating that protection holds up to the availability expectations regulators place on a payment institution.

• Design, write, and maintain incident response playbooks for our most relevant scenarios aligned with DORA ICT incident-management expectations.
• Plan and facilitate regular tabletop exercises and simulations across technical, operational, and executive stakeholders; capture findings and drive remediation to closure.
• Partner with the SOC Manager to ensure tooling supports detection and response use cases (mapped to MITRE ATT&CK).
• Provide the technical evidence and control assurance the Information Security (GRC) function needs for PCI-DSS, DORA, and ACPR-related obligations.
• Manage security vendor and MSSP relationships, contribute to the security technology roadmap and budget, and translate threat intelligence into concrete control improvements.
• Report on resilience metrics and the effectiveness of deployed controls to security leadership.

Job located in Berlin or Madrid office, with possibility of two remote working days per week.

About You

• Hands‑on background in technical / engineering security operations, ideally within regulated financial services, payments, or fintech.
• Practical experience deploying and operating EDR/XDR platforms (e. g. Crowd Strike, Sentinel One, Microsoft Defender) and other core defensive tooling.
• Hands‑on experience with DDo S mitigation and edge/CDN security (e. g.

Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS Shield/WAF) and an understanding of how to protect high-availability, customer-facing services.

• Demonstrated incident response experience — you have built playbooks and run tabletop exercises, not just read about them.
• Working knowledge of DORA, PCI-DSS, NIS2 and MITRE ATT&CK.
• Strong stakeholder and vendor management skills, with the ability to bridge technical detail and business risk.
• Fluent English required; German is a strong advantage.
• Equal Opportunity Employer
