Lead Security Engineer
Skills
About This Role
Overview
- Head of Security \| Fintech SaaS
- 55,000 AED - 65,000 AED + benefits
- This Reports Directly into the the CTO .....
- Not a checkbox-chaser.
- Not someone who disappears into frameworks.
Non Negotiables
- 🔐 Compliance Frameworks — Must have LIVED it, not just know it
- **SOC 2 Type II**
- — built it, maintained it, presented it to enterprise customers
- **PCI DSS**
- — if they're touching payments in any way, this is mandatory
- **ISO 27001**
- is a strong plus but SOC 2 + PCI is the fintech baseline
- ****The context:****
- Our security maturity is already reasonably solid — good people, good tooling, solid processes.
- But right now, too much of it lives in our CTO's head.
- We need to change that.
- ****What you'll own:***
- → Building a secure SaaS platform we can confidently take into enterprise sales cycles
- → Creating clear, verifiable evidence of compliance and security posture for customer audits and reviews
- → Reducing dependency on the CTO by building a real security function that stands on its own
- → Balancing near-term risk reduction with long-term security strategy
- ****You're the right person if you've:****
- ✔ Led security at a SaaS company scaling into enterprise
- ✔ Navigated SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance frameworks — without letting them consume the business
- ✔ Built audit trails and evidence packs that actually hold up under enterprise scrutiny
- ✔ Operated as both a strategic leader AND a hands-on builder
- ✔ Reduced CTO/founder dependency by institutionalising security across teams
- This is not a role for someone who wants to manage a mature, fully-staffed security org.
- This is for a builder — someone who thrives in an environment where they get to shape the function, set the standards, and make security a competitive advantage.
