About the Opportunity

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to join the Platform Engineering Domain in the Access Team.

The mission of Platform Engineering is to provide trusted, performant, self-service platforms that empower product teams to build “the bank the world loves to use.” The Access Team’s mission is to ensure secure, seamless, and compliant access to that infrastructure. We build the gateway between our engineers and our cloud resources.

As one of the first banks completely hosted in the cloud, our security and compliance standards are industry‑leading. We don’t just use a modern stack; we build sophisticated access solutions like JIT (Just‑In‑Time) provisioning and Privileged Access Management (PAM) to protect our customers and our data.

In this role, you will:

Be responsible for designing and maintaining the systems that govern how humans and services access our AWS environment. You will ensure that access is “least‑privilege” by default, automated, and audit‑ready.

More specifically, you will:

• Manage and scale our Teleport infrastructure for secure access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters.

• Develop and maintain automated Identity and Access Management (IAM) workflows within AWS.

• Implement and improve Just‑In‑Time (JIT) access solutions to reduce our permanent attack surface.

• Collaborate closely with the Cloud Control team to integrate security policies into core infrastructure provisioning.

• Automate authorization flows to ensure regulatory compliance without slowing down engineering velocity.

• Maintain and improve Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform) for all access‑related components.

• Support internal and external audits by providing technical evidence and ensuring access protocols meet strict regulatory standards; proactively identify gaps and drive remediation initiatives.

• Create monitors and alerts for access patterns, diagnosing and resolving issues related to authentication and authorization services.

What you need to be successful

Background and skills:

• Production expertise in Amazon Web Services (AWS) , specifically IAM, Organizations, and multi‑account security.

• Hands‑on experience with Access Management tools – preferably Teleport, or similar PAM/JIT solutions.

• Strong experience with Terraform for managing cloud resources and security policies.

• Solid understanding of Linux systems and networking fundamentals (OIDC, SAML, SSH, TLS, TCP/IP).

• Experience programming in Go and/or Python to automate security workflows.

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks and ability to translate audit requirements into technical solutions.

• Experience with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) from an access and RBAC perspective.

• A “security‑first” mindset with a proactive approach to solving complex permission issues.

• Good communication skills and ability to work autonomously in a fast‑paced environment.

Traits we value:

• Actively help yourself (and others) be successful

• Continuously learn and challenge the status quo

• Think globally, act locally

• Strong bias for action

• Give and receive open, direct and timely feedback

What’s in it for you

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked‑about disruptors.

• Employee benefits – competitive personal development budget, work‑from‑home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps, and public transportation.

• Hybrid work model – come together with your team in the office for a dedicated day of teamwork each week, plus another day of your choice, and enjoy remote work the rest of the time.

• Premium N26 bank account – as an N26 employee, you get a Premium subscription on your personal account, plus subscriptions for friends and family members.

• Extra annual leave – additional day for each year of service.

• High degree of autonomy and access to cutting‑edge technologies – working with a friendly, diverse team.

• Relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
