Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy. Why? Because crypto and blockchain aren’t just technologies—they’re tools for global financial empowerment. They give people control over their money, their digital assets, and their future, unlocking opportunities that traditional systems have kept out of reach. What we do At MoonPay, we’re building the infrastructure that powers this new financial system. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, and trade crypto using everyday payment methods like cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, Revolut and Venmo. We provide simple tools to send, receive, and manage stablecoins, so anyone can participate in the crypto economy confidently. Trusted by nearly 30 million customers and over 500 companies, our secure, enterprise-grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide. We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain-powered future. And we’re committed to doing it right—fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia—because trust and compliance are non-negotiable. But we’re just getting started. We’ve launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it’s growing fast. We’re iterating every day to make it the best it can be. If you believe financial freedom should be for everyone—if you believe in building a fairer, more open financial system—we want you with us. To build systems that benefit all, we need contributions from all, regardless of background. Come build the future of payments and the decentralized economy with MoonPay. Let’s make financial freedom and autonomy the new normal. 🌔 About the Opportunity Our Product Security Team is a dynamic blend of proactive defenders and inquisitive problem-solvers. We're dedicated to fortifying our cloud infrastructure (GCP and AWS) through rigorous security reviews, threat modelling, and automated controls. We actively manage our cloud security posture, ensuring swift response and remediation to identified risks. We leverage cutting-edge tools like DataDog for cloud security monitoring and Terraform for secure Infrastructure as Code. Collaboration is key, as we embed security best practices throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. We are constantly researching emerging cloud threats, crafting effective mitigation strategies, and empowering our engineering teams with comprehensive training. We maintain up-to-date cloud security standards, baseline, implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access controls, and will establish and lead our cloud incident management process 🚀 What you will do * Perform Threat Modelling of architectural infrastructure changes and new cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes deployments in GCP and AWS. * Design, implement, and manage robust security controls and configurations for our GCP environments. * Develop and maintain secure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and tools * Implement, manage, and enhance Cloud Security monitoring using DataDog, including alert configuration, response procedures and not just rely on out of box (OOTB) rules * Implement and manage Just-in-Time (JIT) access solutions for elevated privilege access to cloud resources. * Establish and manage the cloud incident management process and program, including leading incident response activities for cloud security events. * Collaborate with infrastructure and development teams to integrate cloud security best practices throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. * Research and evaluate emerging cloud security threats and vulnerabilities, and develop effective mitigation strategies * Develop and deliver cloud security training and awareness programs to engineering and relevant teams. * Contribute to the development and maintenance of cloud security standards, policies, and documentation, ensuring they are up-to-date. * Manage the future of our cloud security posture, driving continuous improvement and strategic initiatives *Accurately document cloud security configurations, processes, and knowledge, and effectively disseminate this information to other teams. *Conduct vulnerability assessments and drive remediation for cloud infrastructure. *Support requirements and evidence requested from auditors, compliance and regulators 💻 What you'll be working on As part of our Cloud Security team, you'll be instrumental in designing, building, and maintaining the security of our cloud platform (GCP). You'll conduct in-depth threat models of cloud architecture, ensuring robust defences are implemented from the outset. You'll actively manage and enhance our cloud security posture using tools like DataDog and automate security controls with Terraform. You'll be responsible for implementing and managing JIT access controls and establishing our cloud incident response framework. You'll collaborate closely with infrastructure and engineering teams, integrating cloud security seamlessly into their workflows. You'll research emerging cloud threats, developing strategies to stay ahead of adversaries. You'll contribute to and deliver cloud security training, fostering a security-conscious culture. You'll help maintain and improve our cloud security standards and documentation. You'll lead cloud incident response efforts, ensuring swift and effective remediation. You will support MoonPay in maintaining the current or achieving new certifications and support audit and compliance requirements. 🧑‍🚀 About You * You have extensive experience in Cloud Security, with deep expertise in GCP. * You possess a strong understanding of Threat Modelling principles and their application to cloud infrastructure and architectural designs. * You have hands-on experience with cloud security tools and technologies, including DataDog for security monitoring and Terraform for Infrastructure as Code. * You have proven experience in designing, implementing, and managing cloud security controls and configurations. * You have experience with Identity and Access Management (IAM) in cloud environments, including the implementation and management of Just-in-Time (JIT) access solutions. * You have a proven ability to establish and manage incident response programs specifically for cloud environments. * Proficiency in scripting or programming languages relevant to cloud automation and security (e.g., Python, Go, or similar) is a plus. * You are comfortable explaining technical security concepts, vulnerabilities, and effective mitigations to diverse audiences * You are self-motivated, can work independently and effectively in a remote setting while maintaining a team-focused mindset. * You are highly skilled in documenting security processes and configurations and effectively sharing knowledge with other teams * Your background experience includes working in a disruptive technology environment, ideally within FinTech, SaaS, or Crypto. * Relevant security certifications (e.g., GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer - Specialty, CISSP, CISM) are a plus but not required. * You have a good understanding of cryptography and its applications in cloud security. * You contribute to the security community (e.g., open source projects, conference talks, CTFs)
