Cyber Security Engineer
Tiebreak Solutions Ltd. is a global MarTech company focused on providing advanced technological solutions for brokerages and financial institutions worldwide. We build powerful, scalable trading products across web and mobile platforms, reliably processing billions of transactions per year.
The Sofia branch is the group’s R&D, DevOps, QA and cybersecurity hub. The Information Security team protects both Tiebreak’s internal infrastructure and production environments of regulated financial clients subject to DORA, GDPR, NIS2 and equivalent jurisdictional requirements.
About the Role
You will join a small, hands-on cybersecurity team reporting directly to the CISO. Day-to-day, you will run vulnerability management, tune detection content, investigate alerts, harden the Microsoft-centric estate and support both internal stakeholders and regulated financial clients. You will operate established tooling rather than green-field it — but you are expected to improve what you touch. The role suits a self-directed engineer who prefers depth over breadth and clean documentation over heroics.
The role includes mandatory participation in the cybersecurity on-call rotation and the weekly system monitoring rotation per the published schedule. Both are compensated through a fixed on-call retainer and overtime pay.
