The Job

Role Overview

Fundiin is evolving from a BNPL product into a multi-product consumer financial platform - and with that evolution comes increasing regulatory scrutiny, higher expectations from lenders and partners, and a growing attack surface that needs to be managed proactively.

As Information Security & Compliance Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Fundiin's security function - building on existing practices and certifications to establish a comprehensive, proactive framework that scales with the business. You will own the security and compliance posture end-to-end, working closely with engineering, DevOps, and external vendors to ensure Fundiin can scale into regulated financial services with confidence.

Fundiin already holds ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certifications and has established security practices in place - this role is not about starting from zero, but about bringing structure, ownership, and a proactive mindset to what exists, and building what is still missing.

For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to own and shape an entire security function at a high-growth fintech - with direct visibility to the CTO and meaningful impact on how Fundiin scales into regulated financial markets.

This is a role for someone who is technically grounded, ownership-oriented, and comfortable leading through influence rather than headcount.

What You Will Do

1. Vulnerability & Threat Management

• Own the vulnerability management program - define scope, tooling, SLAs, and remediation workflows; coordinate with DevOps and vendors for execution
• Monitor CVE feeds and vendor advisories; assess impact on Fundiin's tech stack and drive timely remediation
• Define security requirements and acceptance criteria for CI/CD pipeline - coordinate with DevOps to implement scanning and security gates

2. Security Operations & Access Control

• Define monitoring requirements and detection rules; coordinate with SOC vendor for 24/7 coverage; lead incident response when escalated
• Own the access control framework - enforce least privilege, conduct periodic access reviews, and ensure clean offboarding
• Define and enforce policies for developer access to production environments and sensitive data

3. Data Security & Privacy

• Own the data security framework - define classification, encryption, masking, and export control policies for customer PII and eKYC data
• Drive NĐ 13/2023 compliance - own data mapping, DPIA, and consent management; coordinate with product and engineering for implementation

4. Policy, Governance & Compliance

• Define and maintain security policies, rules, and checklists across the organization
• Own renewal and maintenance of ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certifications; drive compliance with local regulatory requirements - coordinate with external auditors and consultants as needed
• Define and standardize compliance checklists for lender onboarding; coordinate responses to audit and security questionnaires from partners
• Maintain risk register and track remediation status; report regularly to management

5. Awareness & Reporting

• Define and drive the security awareness program - coordinate training and secure coding sessions for the engineering team
• Deliver regular risk, vulnerability, and remediation status reports to management
• Serve as primary point of contact for internal and external audits

Your Skills and Experience

Must Have

• 3-5+ years of experience in information security with hands-on technical depth - vulnerability management, access control, log monitoring, and incident response
• Strong understanding of common attack vectors and security controls - OWASP Top 10, CVE management, secure architecture principles
• Experience in fintech, banking, or a regulated financial environment
• Familiarity with at least one compliance framework - ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or equivalent - sufficient to maintain and operate, not just document
• Able to drive programs forward without a dedicated team - comfortable coordinating across engineering, product, and external vendors to get things done
• Strong ownership mindset - identifies gaps proactively, drives resolution, does not wait to be told what to do

Nice To Have

• Security teams within fintech or financial technology companies: In-house security teams at reputable banks , Reputable security service providers, Fintech security teams in Fintech companies
• Candidates with strong hands-on technical depth in incident response, and combined with exposure to security and compliance frameworks.
• Familiarity with AI-powered security tools - vulnerability scanning (Snyk or equivalent), threat detection, or security operations - and comfortable using LLMs to accelerate security workflows such as threat analysis, policy drafting, and reporting
• Familiarity with GCP security tools - Cloud Audit Logs, Security Command Center, Cloud DLP
• Experience with CI/CD security integration - SAST, DAST, dependency scanning
