Network Security Engineer

What do we do?

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers, taking away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.  

We have over 230+ talented employees serving over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally. Backed by investors including FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North, Paddle aims to define the next wave of B2B SaaS leaders.

The role

Working as part of Paddle’s InfoSec team, you will be responsible for the security of our corporate network, and act as an SME on AWS VPC security best practices. As a Network Security Engineer, you will continually stay on top of the latest network developments, to help defend Paddle from cybersecurity threats. You will have the opportunity to define and implement network strategy, and drive improvements to our security posture, and overall performance.

You will work closely with our IT Services team to create a seamless connectivity experience for all Paddlers within our macOS end user environment. To further our monitoring and alerting capabilities across our IT estate, you will identify opportunities to gather event data and ingest into our SIEM. You will work across the Engineering team and influence standards on network implementation within our cloud native environment.

What you'll do

• Manage and operate Paddle’s corporate network, including switches, routers, firewalls and access points
• Document network configurations and standards, both for our office network and VPCs in AWS
• Identify opportunities to improve our network footprint, including increasing automation
• Use your network experience to assist with identifying and resolving security issues across the stack
• Ensure network implementation adheres to relevant compliance standards (i.e. SOC 2)
• Develop monitoring capabilities to assist with detecting threats and anomalies

We'd love to hear from you if you are:

• Have experience working with physical networks and AWS VPCs
• Are passionate about IT security, and can leverage network skills to assist with triaging and resolving security issues across the tech stack
• Can work collaboratively as part of a team, and autonomously with high level direction
• Are comfortable working with security tools like Wireshark and Kali
