Remote Information Security Analyst – Global Cybersecurity Opportunities

Join a dynamic, fully remote team dedicated to safeguarding critical data and thwarting emerging cyber threats. This role offers a competitive salary, cutting‑edge technology, and the flexibility to work from anywhere in the United States while making a tangible impact on organizational security.

About the Role

Our client, a fast‑growing fintech firm headquartered in New York, is seeking a proactive Information Security Analyst to join their virtual security operations center. You will collaborate with cross‑functional teams to design, implement, and continuously improve security controls that protect sensitive financial data and ensure regulatory compliance. The position is 100 % remote, allowing you to contribute from any location within the United States while staying at the forefront of innovative security practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration testing across cloud and on‑premise environments.
• Develop and maintain security policies, standards, and incident response playbooks tailored to the fintech domain.
• Monitor security alerts, perform root‑cause analysis, and coordinate remediation efforts with engineering teams.
• Provide security guidance during software development lifecycle (SDLC) activities, ensuring secure coding practices.
• Stay current with emerging threats, industry regulations, and best‑in‑class security frameworks.

Requirements

Candidates must possess a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, coupled with at least three years of hands‑on experience in information security, preferably within the financial services sector. Essential skills include:

• Proficiency with security tools such as Nessus, Splunk, and Wireshark.
• Strong understanding of network security, identity and access management, and encryption technologies.
• Exceptional analytical abilities and the capacity to communicate complex concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, or CompTIA Security+) are highly preferred.

Benefits

Working remotely does not mean compromising on perks. Employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package designed to support professional growth and personal well‑being:

• Competitive salary ranging from $55,000 to $85,000 USD per year, based on experience and expertise.
• Generous health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• 401(k) matching program and continuous learning stipend for certifications and conferences.
• Flexible vacation policy and unlimited remote‑work days.
• Wellness programs, including virtual fitness classes and mental‑health resources.

Why This Position Stands Out

This role offers more than a paycheck; it provides a career pathway in a sector that values innovation and security above all else. You will be part of a collaborative, fully remote culture that empowers you to shape security strategy without geographical constraints. The organization invests heavily in cutting‑edge technology and continuous training, ensuring you stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. Moreover, the competitive compensation package, combined with a robust benefits ecosystem, underscores the company’s commitment to attracting and retaining top talent in the information security arena.
