We operate two of the fastest-growing online social casino brands in North America. We’re seeking a hands-on Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to own every aspect of our security program. This is not a purely strategic role; you will be in the trenches, actively implementing, auditing, and monitoring security measures across infrastructure, code, data, and people.

What You’ll Own

- Infrastructure Security
- Lock down all production environments, databases, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
- Manage and secure secret keys, certificates, and encryption policies.
- Implement zero-trust principles and least-privilege access company-wide.

- Access Control

- Ensure offshore staff and contractors have no unnecessary access to sensitive systems or data.
- Audit and monitor all admin-level access; implement robust logging and alerting for suspicious activity.

- Endpoint & Physical Security

- Enforce strict security standards on all company-issued devices (in-office and remote).
- Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, hard drive encryption, and MFA everywhere.
- Secure physical workspaces and prevent data/IP theft.

- Proactive Threat Management

- Lead regular penetration testing, red team exercises, and vulnerability scanning.
- Create and maintain an incident response plan with clear escalation paths.
- Stay ahead of industry threats and implement proactive countermeasures before issues arise.

- Data & IP Protection

- Prevent unauthorized data extraction, account takeovers, and internal fraud.
- Protect proprietary game logic, algorithms, and brand IP from theft or reverse engineering.





- Compliance & Risk

- Implement policies and controls that align with gaming, data privacy, and payment compliance requirements.
- Manage vendor and third-party security risk assessments.

- Culture & Training

- Train all staff — technical and non-technical — in secure practices.
- Foster a security-first culture where protection of data and systems is everyone’s responsibility.

What We’re Looking For

- Proven track record in hands-on security leadership, preferably in high-risk industries such as gaming, fintech, e-commerce, or SaaS.
- Expertise in cloud infrastructure security (AWS, etc.) and modern DevSecOps practices.
- Experience implementing zero-trust architecture and solid identity/access management controls.
- Deep understanding of data encryption, key management, and secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) .
- Familiarity with fraud prevention systems, bot mitigation, and insider threat monitoring .
- Strong incident response and digital forensics skills.
- Ability to balance security enforcement with the speed of a fast-paced startup.
- High integrity, confidentiality, and commitment to ethical security practices.

Why Join Us

- Lead end-to-end security for two of the fastest-growing online social casinos in North America.
- Direct access to founders and decision-making — no bureaucracy, rapid execution.
- Opportunity to shape security from the ground up in a high-growth environment.
