CEO / Founder

Switzerland

RULEMATCH is a digital assets trading and clearing venue with world-class partners to meet the specific needs of regulated financial institutions. By offering significantly more capital-efficient and lower latency trading, RULEMATCH is helping increase institutional adoption and enable the next evolution of the crypto and digital asset market.

Our trading and clearing platform consists of on-prem and cloud capabilities and we are looking for a technically oriented Chief Information Security Officer. In this role, you will build and lead a holistic IT security function with an equal focus on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of RULEMATCH data and IT systems, as well as the specific aspects of cybersecurity. You will report to the CEO.

While the gradual build-up and leadership of the IT Security team is part of the position, we are looking for candidates who are not primarily seeking a management role, but who can bring an effective, hands-on IT Security perspective based on their solid experience as an engineer. You are not afraid to intervene in processes and enforce necessary adjustments.

A passionate IT security leader will be given the opportunity and authority to thrive in a technically challenging environment where their contribution is valued as absolutely critical to success.

*   Promote a culture of strong information security
*   Ensure ongoing cybersecurity awareness training and education for users
*   Establish and lead a high-performing IT security team
*   Engage with partners, clients, auditors, and regulators on IT security issues

*   University degree in computer science or in a related technical field required and master’s degree preferred (equivalent work experience will be considered)
*   Relevant professional certification such as CISSP, CISM, CISA or similar are highly desirable
*   Fluency in verbal and written English required, German is a big plus
*   Strategic mindset with the ability to align security measures with business objectives
*   Willingness to go the extra mile in a startup environment

## Benefits

*   Annual salary of CHF 180’000 and additional stock appreciation rights to participate in the increase in value of the company
*   Competitive pension plan benefits
*   Be part of a venture in a fast-growing market with the ambition to compete with the world's best
*   Inspiring environment with a focus on excellence, teamwork, and transparency
