[Hiring] Security Officer @Zeely Inc.

Role Description

Join Zeely as a Security Officer and help us strengthen and scale security across our products and infrastructure. You'll work closely with our engineering team, including a Security Engineer, as a trusted partner with real authority over technical decisions from a security perspective. As the company grows, you'll have the opportunity to build and lead a dedicated security team.

What You'll Do

• Assess our infrastructure and product from a security perspective;
• Proactively identify, prevent, and help fix vulnerabilities across our product and infrastructure;
• Lead incident response and help defend against attacks in real time;
• Define and prioritize security initiatives and shape the security roadmap;
• Work hands-on: close security tickets yourself and collaborate closely with the DevOps and Platform teams on implementation;
• Integrate security into our development pipeline (SDLC / CI/CD);
• Drive compliance initiatives, mainly SOC 2 (Type 1) and CASA, and implement relevant ISO 27001 controls;
• Develop security policies, processes, and access management practices across our cloud infrastructure (AWS);
• Review architecture decisions and code from a security perspective;
• Support B2B clients with security-related questions, reviews, and due diligence.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of engineering experience;
• 3+ years in a Security Officer or Security Engineer role (a combined Security/DevOps role works too);
• Hands-on backend development background (Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript, Java, or C#/.NET);
• Strong practical experience in DevOps and cloud infrastructure;
• Proven experience finding and fixing vulnerabilities and handling security incidents;
• AWS Professional-level certification (a security-focused Associate certification may also be considered);
• Hands-on experience implementing SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 controls — owning the process end to end, not just maintaining existing policies;
• Experience with external security audits (Big Four experience is a plus);
• Upper-Intermediate (B2+) English or higher;
• Fluent Ukrainian.

Nice to Have

• Experience with CASA assessments;
• Experience implementing GDPR and/or CCPA (CPRA) requirements;
• Understanding of PCI DSS (SAQ-A level);
• GCP certifications.

Benefits

• A chance to shape how security evolves in a stable, profitable product company;
• A role with real ownership, including veto power over technical decisions from a security perspective;
• A clear growth path toward leading a security team;
• Work with cutting-edge technologies and contribute to building AI-powered tools;
• A strong team of A-level players who push each other to grow;
• A remote-first setup with offices in Warsaw and Kyiv;
• All the equipment you need for work, provided by the company;
• Regular performance reviews to keep your growth transparent and rewarded.
