What is Finary?

At Finary, our mission is to change how money can work for you. We are building a one-stop shop for investing that gives powers back to investors. Finary allows its users to track their assets, manage their budgets, invest their money, and learn more about finance. If you’re looking for an ambitious team that’s revolutionizing an old-fashioned industry, get in touch!

Mounir launched Finary in 2021. Since then, Finary has made great strides by reaching 500.000 users. We genuinely care about user experience, performance, and ease of use. We ship cutting-edge products with touches of delight. You'll join a winning team, learn insanely, earn life-changing money, and work with other A+ players.

Why now?

A new generation of investors is emerging: an ambitious, involved workforce. Money is no longer taboo and the pension system is under tremendous pressure. At Finary, we see a world where investing empowers everybody to live the life they’ve always dreamt of. Finary exists to revolutionize the personal money management experience.

To fuel this mission, we raised 15M€ and are backed by leading investors like Y Combinator and Speedinvest. We are also backed by world-class founders like Steve Anavi & Alexandre Prot (Qonto founders), Matthieu Rouif (Photoroom), and Eric Demuth (CEO of Bitpanda). We also smashed the European crowdfunding speed record by raising 2.2M€ from our community in less than 20 minutes.

There’s never been a more exciting time to join Finary!

About the role

As our Head of Security, you will own and shape the entire security strategy at Finary. You'll define and execute our security roadmap, lead initiatives to protect our infrastructure and data, and partner with the compliance team to support regulatory needs. From evaluating and implementing modern security tooling to setting up scalable policies and procedures, you’ll have end-to-end ownership of security in a high-growth, cloud-native fintech environment.

It's a hands-on role, meaning that each solution you suggest will be put in place by you.

The compliance scope is managed by our compliance's team - reporting to the VP Ops - and is not part of the scope of the Head of Security at Finary.

This is a hybrid position based in Paris, with flexibility for remote work.

You’d be a great fit if you:

• Have 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity with a strong track record in ownership roles

• Have deep knowledge of cloud security, especially within GCP environments

• Have a solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines

• Have knowledge on SAST/DAST tooling

• Are proficient in deploying and managing modern security solutions and processes

• Know how to work cross-functionally, especially with compliance and engineering teams

• Are comfortable making strategic decisions while still being hands-on

• Can assess risks pragmatically and communicate them clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact B2C startup environment

• You are a French speaker (because you need to discuss with French regulatory authorities)

Bonus points if you:

• Have experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001, DORA, or other security compliance frameworks

• Have previously worked in a fintech or other regulated industry

• Have experience with Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Aikido, Push Security or Kandji

• Have experience scaling security practices from 1 → 100 in a high-growth company
