Our Security Operations (SecOps) team’s mission is to safeguard Sygnum’s digital infrastructure and assets by detecting, investigating, and responding to cyber threats in real-time. We take pride in operating at the cutting edge of digital banking security in a regulated, rapidly evolving environment.

As a Junior Security Operations Analyst, you will be part of a growing team responsible for operational security monitoring, threat detection, and first-line incident response. You’ll develop hands-on experience working with enterprise-grade tools and processes, while also contributing to team initiatives around automation, runbooks, and cyber resilience.

You will also participate in the duty rotation, supporting the monitoring of incidents across IT operations and assisting in the coordination and communication of major incident responses. This is a key aspect of ensuring real-time responsiveness and learning how security integrates across the broader IT landscape.

Responsibilities include:
• Monitor and triage security alerts from internal systems and external SOC partners.
• Conduct initial investigations of suspicious activity, escalating as needed.
• Support incident response tasks: log gathering, documentation, and coordination.
• Assist with phishing email analysis and remediation.
• Participate in regular vulnerability scans and patch validation follow-ups.
• Work closely with the IAM team on access reviews and privilege monitoring.
• Maintain and update security operations documentation and runbooks.
• Take part in red/blue team simulations and security drills.
• Use Sygnum’s SecOps toolset: EDR, SIEM, SOAR, IAM, and threat intelligence feeds.
• Identify and suggest automation opportunities and operational enhancements.
• Support the duty function, assisting in triage, communication, and real-time updates during major incidents.
You are a motivated early-career professional with a passion for cybersecurity. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are eager to contribute to a highly trusted, security-first banking environment.
• 1–2 years in IT security, SOC, helpdesk, or similar technical support role.
• Good understanding of cyber hygiene, threat types, and security principles.
• Familiarity with security tools (e.g. antivirus, endpoint security, log analysis).
• Curious and analytical: you like digging into logs and alerts.
• Strong English communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Bonus: Python/Bash scripting, experience with Azure/AWS, Regulatory and/or GRC awareness.
Joining Sygnum means being part of a dynamic, global team that is building a trusted gateway between the traditional and digital asset economies. Working at Sygnum, you will experience our fast-paced, exciting work environment that embraces meritocracy and collaboration and open communication. Alongside our ambitious long-term mission, we also come together for reaching important milestones and annual crypto-industry anniversaries like Bitcoin Pizza Day, and regularly celebrate together at themed company events as part of our journey to shape Future Finance.
