Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of application or product-security experience, with 2+ years leading teams
- Proven track-record establishing secure development life-cycle practices, threat-modelling, penetration testing and vulnerability-management workflows
- Solid understanding of modern cloud and application architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and offensive-security testing techniques
- Hands‑on experience in code review, threat modelling, and penetration testing
- Strong leadership, project‑management, and stakeholder‑communication skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of conveying risk to technical and non-technical audiences
- Familiarity with common threat‑modelling frameworks, secure‑coding standards, and industry compliance requirements
- Relevant credentials (CISSP, CSSLP, OSWE/OSCP, or comparable) are advantageous
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced security leader to build and drive our Product Security program
- As Product Security Manager you will shape the secure-by-design strategy for all customer-facing products and services, oversee architecture reviews and penetration testing, and partner closely with engineering and DevOps to embed security controls throughout the development life-cycle
- You will own roadmap planning, people development, and cross-functional communication
- Define and execute the product-security roadmap covering design reviews, threat modelling, penetration tests, secure-coding standards, and testing automation
- Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of security experts
- Conduct risk assessments and threat modelling workshops
- Establish and maintain product-security playbooks, review checklists, and engagement models for engineering squads
- Coordinate and track vulnerability remediation, providing clear risk and status updates to product, engineering, and executive leadership

- Champion a security champion network, organising workshops and sharing best‑practice playbooks to embed security‑by‑design throughout the SDLC
- Ensure product security processes align with relevant regulations and industry frameworks
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.
