High Performance at Neo

We recruit, hire, and build our company culture around these attributes:

Teamwork: We trust, respect, encourage, and show up for each other — through good times and hard. We’re on this mission not just for ourselves, but also for the people we work with — and ultimately, for our customers.

Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo’s success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.

Professional Integrity: We’re asking millions of Canadians to trust us with their hard-earned money — so we hold ourselves (and each other) to the highest standards of integrity.

The Role

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Security Analyst to join our IT Security team. The Security Analyst will be responsible for implementing security measures to safeguard our organization’s IT systems and data, monitoring, analyzing, and responding to security incidents, and assessing threats.

What you'll be doing

• Implementation and maintenance of security controls, policies, and procedures to protect against cyber threats.
• Architect cloud-first security systems (e.g. Netskope, Zscaler, Crowdstrike, Cloud-native DLP, AWS security, etc) 
• Monitor security alerts and logs from various systems, applications, and network devices to detect and investigate potential security incidents.
• Conduct security event analysis and triage security alerts to identify and prioritize potential threats or vulnerabilities.
• Perform security assessments, risk analysis, and vulnerability scans to identify weaknesses in systems and recommend remediation measures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security into IT infrastructure, applications, and services.
• Provide guidance and expertise on security best practices and recommend security enhancements.
• Document security incidents, investigations, and actions taken for future reference and improvement.
• Stay updated on emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices.

Who we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
• 3+ years experience as a Security Analyst or in a similar role focusing on standards and compliance.
• Proven experience in IT security, incident response, or a related field.
• Familiarity with security tools and technologies such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, antivirus, and endpoint protection.
• Knowledge of security frameworks and best practices (e.g., NIST, CIS, SOC2, PCI, etc).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

The people who thrive at Neo are resourceful, relentless, and want to win. We hold ourselves to high standards, because we’re on a mission that matters — to transform financial services for the better. If that’s what you’re looking for, read on.

We trust, respect, and show up for each other. That means truthful conversations, frequent feedback, and working with people who push you to be your best. We’re evolving quickly as an organization, we work together in person, and the pace of progress isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’re looking for change-makers who love a challenge — who would rather blaze a trail through uncertainty than travel a well-paved road.

Our team members earn meaningful equity in the company through stock options — so Neo’s growth benefits everyone who helps make it happen. That also means taking on more responsibility than you may have had at your last job. We don’t get hung up on job titles or hierarchy — we’re focused on doing what it takes to accomplish our mission.
