Execution & Launch Readiness  

• Coordinate launch readiness across Product, Engineering, Commercial, Risk, Compliance, and Operations 
• Ensure launches are well‑prepared, documented, and aligned with risk, regulatory, and operational requirements 
• Improve dependency tracking, escalation pathways, and cross‑team communication 

Systems & Standard Governance  

• Improve consistency and quality of product artifacts including PRDs, strategy docs, review packs, and launch briefs 
• Define, maintain, and evolve product workflows across tools such as Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence, or equivalent 
• Maintain KPI definitions, reporting views, and decision logs used by Product and leadership 
• Improve meeting hygiene, documentation standards, and operating discipline across the product organisation 

Tool Utilisation & Change Management  

• Design and implement lightweight systems, templates, and processes that improve clarity without adding bureaucracy 
• Identify recurring points of friction in how Product operates and solve them through better tooling, workflows, or cadence 
• Support change adoption by aligning teams around new operating standards and practices 

In this role, success means: 

• Product has a clearer and more trusted operating rhythm 
• Portfolio visibility is stronger across teams and domains 
• Product reviews are more structured and decision-useful 
• Cross-team dependencies and risks are easier to see and manage 
• Launch coordination is more disciplined and less ad hoc 
• Product Managers spend less time stitching together status and more time on product work 
• The wider business experiences Product as clearer, better aligned, and easier to work with 

You are an ideal candidate if you have 

• Experience in Product Operations, Product Management, Business Operations, Program Management, or a similar operating role 
• Exposure to fintech, payments, SaaS, platforms, marketplaces, or other complex product environments 
• Experience supporting planning cycles, launch readiness, or portfolio visibility across multiple teams 
• Experience working in regulated, operationally sensitive, or high‑reliability environments 
• Appreciation for risk, compliance, readiness, and delivery discipline in payments or financial services 
• Familiarity with product and workflow tools such as Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence, Airtable, or similar

• Collaborate with partner teams to identify gaps in detection, response coverage, and operational readiness, and drive improvements to expand and mature cybersecurity operations coverage.
• Serve as an escalation and advisory point for security-related operational issues, ensuring coordination with the appropriate domain owners (Cloud, Application, Infrastructure, SRE) while maintaining clear accountability.

Security Operations Coverage & Readiness

• Ensure cybersecurity operations maintain effective visibility and response capability across cloud, infrastructure, and application environments, aligned to defined risk and threat models.
• Oversee the integration of logging, telemetry, alerts, and response playbooks into operational tooling (e.g., SIEM, SOAR, EDR), without assuming ownership of underlying platform or application architectures.
• Partner with domain security teams to validate that new systems, services, and changes are adequately covered by operational security monitoring and incident response processes.
• Continuously assess and improve operational coverage to ensure cybersecurity operations can detect, respond to, and support incidents across the evolving technical environment.

Proactive Risk & Vulnerability Management

• Own the operational vulnerability management lifecycle, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, remediated, and tracked to closure.

• Ensure security findings and risk trends are translated into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Team Leadership & Partner Management

• Lead, mentor, and develop cybersecurity operations engineers, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
• Provide direction and oversight to embedded or partner resources (e.g., Sonata), ensuring clear expectations, quality delivery, and alignment to 2U standards.
• Contribute to workforce planning, skills development, and operational maturity of the cybersecurity operations function.

Things That Should Be In Your Background:

• 5+ years experience in cybersecurity or security operations, with progression into technical leadership or people management.
• Experience leading or supporting security operations, incident response, or threat management in complex environments.
• Working knowledge of AWS; exposure to GCP or Azure is a plus.
• Comfortable with scripting/automation (e.g., Python, Bash) to guide and review operational improvements.
• Experience partnering on CI/CD and DevSecOps initiatives to ensure security signals feed into detection and response.
• Familiarity with cloud-native and containerised environments and their operational security risks.
• Required: Hands-on experience with SIEM and EDR platforms supporting security monitoring, investigation, and incident response.

Transparency is key for us. Luno stores all crypto on a 1:1 basis and we have rigorous processes in place so you can be confident your investment is secure. We’re available in more than 40 countries around the world and we work closely with respective regulators in all of these markets to be fully compliant, as we believe this is the best way to help everyone, everywhere, invest safely.

About the team:

The Platform SRE team at Luno owns the full infrastructure stack - from Kubernetes and AWS through to CI/CD, observability, networking, and developer tooling. We work with high autonomy, balancing business initiatives, platform improvements, and the reliability work that keeps a global financial platform running. We build for the future and enable developers to deliver now. We are spread across the world and operate in a remote-first environment, where collaboration and communication is crucial day-to-day. 

The role in a nutshell:

As a Staff SRE at Luno, you are providing technical expertise and oversight for reliability and scalability across our cloud estate. Joining a high-impact team, you will help shape the future of our platform while partnering with teams throughout the engineering organisation to scale reliability and accelerate delivery.

You’ll help manage multi-region Kubernetes and AWS at scale within a regulated financial environment - where uptime is critical. Beyond solving complex problems, you’ll define the technical roadmap, prioritize high-impact initiatives, and lead their execution.
