Lead Cloud Security Engineer

The bank that's closer to everyone — yes, that's us.

We are building a new team for a new digital bank from scratch! The new security team will ensure resilience of the bank.

As a Lead Cloud Security Engineer, You will secure our Azure cloud platform and k8s environments. We are Azure-first and operate in a regulated financial-services environment, so secure-by-default, auditability, and resilience are baseline expectations.

Every day, you'll be #closer and:

Cloud platform security

• Secure-by-default Azure landing zones: network segmentation, private endpoints, Entra ID identity and least-privilege/entitlement management (CIEM), and secrets management (Key Vault).
• Cloud posture and workload protection via CNAPP / CSPM (Microsoft Defender for Cloud and/or Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud) — continuous misconfiguration detection and remediation.

Kubernetes & container security

• Harden AKS and the cluster surface: RBAC, Pod Security Standards, admission control (OPA Gatekeeper/Kyverno), network policies, and namespace isolation.
• Secure the container supply chain: image scanning, signing and provenance, trusted registries, and hardened base images.
• Runtime workload protection and secure secrets handling in-cluster.

Cross-cutting

• Get cloud, cluster, and application signals into the SIEM (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel) and support incident response — partnering with detection/IR rather than owning the SOC.
• Secure vendor and integration architecture (API gateways, Zero Trust boundaries) for our external ecosystem.
• DORA and regulatory assurance — ICT risk, ICT third-party / supply-chain risk, resilience and threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) support — and clear risk communication to engineering, leadership, and auditors.

To be #closer, you'll bring:

• Hands-on Azure cloud security in production — not just reviewing environments.
• Strong Kubernetes and container security: AKS hardening, RBAC, Pod Security Standards, admission control, network policies, and image/supply-chain security.
• Infrastructure as Code and scripting (Python, PowerShell, or similar) — you automate guardrails rather than enforce them by hand.
• Identity, least privilege, and secrets management in Entra ID; CNAPP / CSPM tooling experience.
• Ability to communicate cloud and pipeline risk to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including auditors.

Nice to have

• Multi-cloud awareness (AWS / GCP) beyond Azure.
• SIEM and cloud detection experience (Microsoft Sentinel).
• Application security awareness — OWASP Top 10, OAuth2 / OIDC, FAPI 2.0 — enough to partner with product security.
• Financial services / fintech / open-banking background.
• DORA or equivalent financial-regulatory familiarity (NIS2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST CSF).

Being #closer means you'll get:

• The green light for your ideas. Your suggestions will be heard — we value independence, curiosity, and initiative.
• A manager who helps you grow. You'll get clear direction and support while having plenty of freedom to act, learn, and develop.
• An organization that is changing. Joining Artea means more than just a new name — it means new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities to help shape our culture from within.
• Achievements rooted in Lithuania. We're especially proud to be a Lithuanian bank. We believe our country and our people are unique, and we do everything we can every day to help them realize their potential.
• A personal benefits package. Health insurance, a pension savings program, additional days off, flexible working hours, modern infrastructure — and that's far from the complete list of benefits!
• Competitive compensation. Your salary will depend on your experience and competencies, so we're providing an indicative range of EUR 5758 - 7792gross per month.
• Performance bonuses. Our employees can earn bonuses based on the performance of the bank, their team, and their own individual performance.
