Senior Security Engineer, Governance Risk and Compliance

We are operating at the fast-moving frontier of the crypto ecosystem, where trust, speed, and ironclad security are paramount to our success. We aren't looking for a passive bureaucrat or a traditional checklist-checker. We need a sharp, highly autonomous Senior Engineer, GRC who genuinely loves the details, anticipates gaps before dashboards turn red, and possesses the human judgment to steer modern, tech-forward security frameworks. If you thrive in high-stakes environments and know how to balance real risk mitigation against empty paperwork, you’ll fit right in.

What you'll be doing:

• Compliance lifecycle: Maintain ISO 27001 certification, prepare for SOC 2 Type 1 and 2, manage auditor relationships, and own evidence collection in Vanta. You know what's slipping before the dashboard turns red, and can forecast certification timelines confidently.

• Vulnerability management (as a program): Own the SLA layer — weekly dashboard, breach escalation, exception tracking, and monthly leadership view. Engineers fix the bugs; you ensure they fix them on time.

• Policy lifecycle: Annual reviews, new policies as scope expands, training rollout, attestation tracking, and exception requests. Reviews run through an adversarial AI pipeline today; you'll own the cadence and the human judgment inside it.

• People-ops security controls: Onboarding/offboarding evidence, access reviews, security awareness training, background-check tracking, and permission groups. Partner with HR on the workflow; own the auditable artifact.

• Vendor risk: Vendor inventory, pre-procurement assessments, and annual reassessments.

• Risk program: Maintain the risk register and run quarterly reviews.

• Data protection: DLP policy and tuning, data-classification programs, and PDPA partnership with Legal.

• Business continuity: Own the BCP/DR program — documentation, drills, and post-exercise improvements.

What we're looking for:

• 3–5 years in security or GRC program management, ideally at a fintech that grew through early stages.

• Hands-on experience running ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits end-to-end, including auditor management.

• Deep fluency in Vanta (or Drata, with willingness to switch). You know where the platform helps and where you have to compensate manually.

• Confident representing the security program to security teams — both technically and as a trust signal.

• Strong written and verbal communication.

• Sound judgment on when a control gap is real risk vs. paperwork, and the ability to escalate to the right audience quickly.

• Strong interest in Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Fintech, or Finance/Trading — you follow the space, understand why it's a uniquely hostile threat environment, and want to defend it.

• Proficient in English communication skill.

What’s in it for you:

• MacBook or high-end laptop for working.

• Full coverage of social insurance.

• Premium health care for you and your family members.

• Full 100% salary during probationary period.

• Working in a professional, friendly, well-equipped workspace with both foreigners and Vietnamese.

• Extensive on job training; will always having chances to work with new emerging technologies.

• Friendly and fun start-up work culture.
