Paris, Île-de-France Aplo Temps plein

Paris/France-based (remote possible)

About the Company

At Aplo, you won't just do a job - you'll own outcomes, grow every day, and work with a team that wins together. Aplo is the only EU-registered crypto prime broker for institutional investors offering transparent, conflict-free, self-service execution with fast asset listing across hundreds of coins. In October 2025, Aplo was acquired by Coincheck N.V. (Nasdaq CNCK), a publicly listed company. We combine the agility of a startup with the rigor of a regulated financial institution, giving institutional clients access to crypto markets with the reliability of traditional finance.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on CISO to build a practical, evidence-driven security program that protects our platform, customer data, and digital assets - and keeps us audit- and regulator-ready. This is a senior individual contributor role (no people management) and reports directly to the CEO, working closely with the CTO and key stakeholders across the business.

Responsibilities

  • Build and deliver a 12–18 month security roadmap
  • Maintain a clear risk register and drive actions to closure
  • Lead audits and security assessments (evidence, remediation, retesting - PASSI approach when applicable)
  • Act as the security point of contact with auditors and regulators, and implement recommendations
  • Run security operations through vendors (SOC/MDR, scanning, pentesting) and enforce quality (SLAs, escalation)
  • Own incident response end-to-end (playbooks, coordination, post-mortems)
  • Partner with the CTO to secure critical areas: access, secrets, logging, API/integrations, and crypto key controls
  • Set minimum security requirements for critical vendors and contribute to continuity/recovery testing
  • Contribute to DORA readiness (operational resilience, incident preparedness, critical vendor oversight, recovery testing).

Required Skills

  • Strong track record in security within a regulated environment (finance/fintech/crypto)
  • Exposure to DORA (or similar operational resilience programs) is a plus.
  • Comfortable owning both security governance and hands-on execution in a small structure
  • Clear communicator who can translate technical risk into practical decisions for leadership
  • Fluent French (mandatory), strong English

Pay Range and Compensation Package

  • Base salary range: €110–150k (gross per year)
  • Pass navigo 100% covered
  • Meal vouchers (restaurant tickets)
  • Sports membership: €45 per month
  • Health insurance: 100% covered
  • Training budget: €1,000 per year

We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered.

Recruitment Process

  • HR screening 1h - Motivation, fit, prerequisites.
  • CTO interview 1h - Engineering partnership, product security, pragmatism.
  • Live case study 1h - Practical exercise.
  • COO interview 1h- Risk, audits/regulators, DORA and resilience evidence.
  • CEO interview 1h - Leadership communication, trade-offs, crisis readiness.
  • Reference calls - Validate delivery, collaboration, and integrity.
