- Coordinate the implementation of technical security controls across our infrastructure and application environments, ensuring alignment with Ripple’s internal controls and regulatory guidelines (e.g., EBA, ESMA, CSSF).
- Collaborate with global InfoSec teams to develop, maintain, and localize InfoSec Policies, Standards, and Procedures relevant to EU compliance.
- Directly access systems to pull technical evidence, such as logs, system settings, and access reports, to support continuous operational monitoring, incident response, and compliance efforts.
- Act as the operational domain expert during internal audits, customer audits, and regulatory exams by providing necessary technical evidence and demonstrating a strong working knowledge of our infrastructure and security processes.
- Partner with our global Engineering, Compliance, Finance, Product, Legal, and Sales teams to provide operational security guidance and have a direct impact on Ripple’s product security and customer trust.
- Support regional customer-facing activities by assisting in responding to security due diligence questionnaires and reviewing technical aspects of customer contracts.
- Attend and participate in local and regional industry events and discussions to stay current on evolving regulations, threats, and best practices.

- 5+ years of experience in Information Security infrastructure, preferably within a highly regulated industry.
- Demonstrable experience working within the Luxembourg financial or technology sector, with a strong understanding of the local business and regulatory landscape.
- Solid working knowledge of DORA operational requirements, including resilience testing, ICT third-party management, and incident response.
- Familiarity with EU regulatory frameworks, including MiCA and related EBA and ESMA technical standards.
- Proficiency with common information technology and security frameworks, such as ISO 27001, SOC2, and NIST.
- Comfortable accessing systems directly to gather and analyse technical evidence, including logs, configuration data, and database queries, within a cloud-native environment.
- Ability to create clear, audience-tailored technical documentation and SOPs.
- Experience collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams of engineers, product managers, and compliance experts.
- Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, JupiterOne, Okta, AWS, Tines, and integrated GRC platforms is an advantage.
