Role
Who you are

- Deep understanding of SIEM, SOAR, incident response methodologies, threat intelligence, and cloud security (AWS preferred)
- Proven track record of building or scaling a SOC, including process development and team management

What the job involves

- Define and track SOC metrics (MTTR, alert volume, false-positive rate, etc.) to drive continuous improvement
- Oversee tuning and optimization of SIEM/SOAR platforms, ensuring high-fidelity detections
- Conduct regular risk assessments and gap analyses to identify and remediate security weaknesses

Our take
Interest around investing in digital assets is increasing steadily due to innovations in fintech smartphone applications and the popularity of blockchain finance such as cryptocurrency. While stocks and cryptocurrency have a lot to do with this increase in popularity, it has also led to new investors learning about ETFs and index funds, meaning more people are looking for easier ways to invest.
Scalable Capital provides a free smartphone application for the investing and trading of stocks, cryptocurrencies, commission-free ETFs, and index funds, with subscription fees providing commission-free stock trading. The application also features a machine learning-driven robotrading service called Smart Predict to aid in improving users' limit and stop orders.
Whilst several other European investment platforms focus on commission-free trading, Scalable Capital has taken a fresh perspective by focusing on providing commission-free ETF investment. By doing this, the company encourages smart long-term ETF investments over riskier day-trading, tapping into a more mature market than applications focused on stocks. With further growth expected in 2024 after impressive Series E funding, Scalable Capital is carving out its market share.
