Information Security Operations Specialist

Who You Are

You are a technical writer in the security compliance career track who wants to work at a SaaS company with a culture of compliance. You can ask Engineers and Data Scientists questions and convert their subject matter expertise into technical content an auditor will understand. You can annotate a diagram showing Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing, network segmentation using VLANs, or secure data transfer and storage. You like adding to and maintaining an internal control environment which enables us to manage our technology risk and comply with our regulatory obligations while supporting the rapid growth and development objectives of the business. The NIST 800 series is one of your go-to references.  

Who We Are

Quantifind helps some of the world’s biggest banks catch money laundering and fraud. Quantifind also works with government agencies to use the same platform to uncover criminal networks and combat adversarial foreign ownership and influence in critical industries. Unlike other players in this space, Quantifind delivers results as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) with consumer-grade user experiences. 

Quantifind is a data science technology company whose AI platform uncovers signals of risk across disparate and unstructured text sources. In financial crimes risk management, Quantifind’s solution uniquely combines internal financial institution data with public domain data to assess risk in the context of Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Fraud Risk Management, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. Today these compliance processes are burdened by ever-increasing regulatory responsibilities and an expectation of frictionless transactions. Legacy technologies demand increasingly more human resources as the operations expand; Quantifind’s SaaS solution offers a way to cut through the inefficiency and enhance effectiveness simultaneously.

We process terabytes of data each day on our own dedicated Hadoop clusters. We use real-time data services to enable interactive investigations in our APIs and web applications. We use Kubernetes and Docker for our container ecosystem and we develop standalone services in Scala and Python and use Spark for MapReduce jobs. 

To help you succeed, we provide a supportive environment that fosters collaboration between teams and team members, where learning and professional growth are considered a key part of your success, and of ours. We offer a flexible work environment with a family friendly work-life balance.
