Security Engineer

As a security engineer at Floryn, you’re joining us in building a fintech company which provides fast and easy access to credit for small and medium sized businesses. We’re somewhat like a bank, but without the bureaucracy and the white collars. You’ll be working at a landscape of applications that is responsible for wiring millions of euros, daily, directly into our customer’s bank accounts.

What you'll be doing

You’ll be the first security specialist within our existing technology team of 20+ people and offer security guidance to them when building new products or features. This can be in the form of design reviews, audits, tests or by analyzing our applications yourself.

• Identify (potential) security vulnerabilities or design flaws in the areas of cloud security, infrastructure, data, applications or payments by thinking like an attacker and defender.

• Help the compliance department to make sure we adhere to all regulatory requirements that concern IT security. Help with performing external audits and focusing on rectifying the issues highlighted in reports.

• Introduce new solutions that improve our security posture and help with implementation, either by working with a vendor, our own engineering team, or the infrastructure team, or by developing solutions yourself.
  

Technology

We have a technology neutral mindset to engineering and believe in well-tested, robust code. We love open source but are not religious about any specific language or framework. We work with modern open source technology such as Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, Docker and AWS. We’re big on continuous integration and deployment, automated testing and kanban, pull-based processes. We push changes to production every single day.

About Floryn

Floryn is one of the fastest growing fintech companies in the Netherlands. We aim to be the most responsible, scalable and customer-friendly online lender in Europe. We’ve lent out over € 350 million since inception (2016) and have processed over € 7 billion in transaction volume. We're located in a monumental building in the city center of 's-Hertogenbosch that also houses the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS). We are with around 70 people, split over Development, Data, Risk, Marketing and Sales.

The technology that we build plays an essential role in everything we do, so we work with a fully in-house development team. Building great stuff is what drives us and quality always comes first. Our technology has a major impact on businesses and people. Our organization is flat and communication lines are short, so we can move quickly. We don’t have code monkeys. Instead, we give you a problem and trust you will come up with an outstanding solution. We believe in sane working hours and long-term solutions, instead of 70-hour work weeks with temporary workarounds. We do things our own way, we ship code every day and we take pride in our work.
