Who we are:
We are Honest, a company committed to building financial products that people truly love. Our products are designed to be fair, simple, and genuinely useful in everyday life. Our diverse team brings together people from different backgrounds who share the same goal: to create meaningful solutions that make finance better. After successfully launching our first product, we’re now in an exciting growth stage, learning fast, moving quickly, and building together as a team.

About the role:
We’re looking for a Security Operations Specialist who lives for the hunt. You won’t just be staring at a dashboard; you’ll be the operator of our defense. In a fintech environment, the stakes are high and the threats are evolving. You’ll be the go-to person maintaining the systems that keep our customers’ data safe and our environment resilient against anything the internet throws at us. If you’re passionate about threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, and staying ahead of evolving cyber risks, we’d love to connect with you.

How you will make an impact:

1. Monitor and respond
   • Be our first responder, managing our SOC team and SIEM/SOAR stack and turning “alerts” into “actions” by developing and fine-tuning relevant rules and playbooks
   • Automate alert responses to minimize alert fatigue and response time via security workflow automations
2. Resolve incidents and close gaps
   • Lead security incident management — from initial detection to post-mortem analysis to prevent re-occurrence
   • Hunt for weaknesses in our applications and infrastructure, and close the gaps before the bad guys do
3. Own the security stack and standards
   • Own our security solutions stack — EDR, WAF, SOAR and others — and be the subject-matter expert and internal champion for them
   • Ensure organizational protocols adhere to industry best practices and regulatory frameworks
   • Stay up to date with the latest cybersecurity trends, threats, and technologies to improve and contribute to our security program

What you need to have:

• Problem-solving skills to help with problem resolutions
• Technical expertise in IT security operations covering broad angles ranging from application, infrastructure, network, and cloud
• Toolbox mastery: hands-on experience with EDR, WAF, SOAR, and other security solutions
• Scripting skills: you look at security vulnerabilities and know what to do to fix them. This requires the knowledge and logic of some well-known languages, such as Python, Go, etc.
• Security by default: a “security-first” mindset that incorporates security in everything you do
• Resilience: things don’t always go smoothly. In case things fail, you know how to recover quickly and learn your lessons
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills in English to collaborate with diverse multi-national teams

What makes you stand out:

• Security certification such as OSCP, GCIA, GCIH, CISSP, or CEH
• Experience in a financial institution regulated by OJK and Bank Indonesia
• Familiarity with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 controls and supporting surveillance or certification audits
• Experience with cloud-native security tooling (GCP, AWS) and infrastructure-as-code
• Threat hunting, detection engineering, or purple-team experience
• Exposure to regulatory or external audit requests on IT security controls
