Bitpanda is a fintech platform founded in 2014 that simplifies wealth creation by enabling users to invest in cryptocurrencies, stocks, precious metals and commodities. With 7+ million customers across Europe, Bitpanda is one of the continent's safest and most secure investment platforms.
As a Senior SOC Analyst, you will play a critical role in protecting millions of customers' money, identities and digital assets. You'll combine deep technical expertise with engineering excellence to evolve security operations, drive automation at scale, and partner across the business to embed security into everything Bitpanda builds.
Key responsibilities include:
**Detection Engineering**: Own the strategy and quality of the detection library in Elastic Security (ES|QL/KQL), designing high-fidelity detections mapped to real-world attacker techniques while continuously improving coverage, reducing noise and raising SOC maturity.
**Incident Response & Threat Hunting**: Lead investigations into complex security incidents, proactively hunt for advanced threats across AWS, Elastic and Datadog, refine response playbooks, and turn every incident into lasting improvements to security capabilities.
**Security Automation**: Design and implement automated investigation, enrichment and response workflows using SOAR, APIs and custom tooling, reducing manual effort while increasing speed, consistency and resilience across security operations.
**Security Posture**: Improve cloud security monitoring, system hardening and security tooling across the AWS environment, partner with engineering teams to proactively eliminate risk, and support compliance initiatives including ISO 27001, PCI DSS and DORA.
**Technical Leadership**: Act as a technical leader within the Security team, mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, champion security best practices and help build a security-first culture.
**On-Call Participation**: Participate in a weekly rotating on-call schedule to keep millions of users safe 24/7.
You bring 4+ years of hands-on security engineering experience with deep expertise across incident response, threat hunting, SIEM, digital forensics and scripting. You've built and evolved security operations—not just operated them—with experience designing detections, automating workflows and improving security processes that deliver measurable outcomes. You have strong experience securing cloud-native environments, particularly AWS, alongside expertise in system hardening, network security, IAM and security monitoring. Experience with Elastic Security, ES|QL and KQL is highly desirable. You take ownership of complex technical challenges, balance pragmatism with security excellence, and are comfortable leading initiatives from idea through implementation. You're an excellent collaborator and communicator who enjoys mentoring others, influencing technical direction and partnering across engineering to build secure systems at scale.
Bitpanda offers a hybrid working model with flexibility to work where you thrive, combining onsite collaboration and remote work, plus 25 additional days per year to work from a city or country of your choice. Relocation benefits within the EU are available.
