About the role
We are seeking a Cloud Security Engineer to strengthen our cloud security posture and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our cloud environments. This role is hands-on, technical, and focused on cloud security deployment, monitoring, and automation. You will work closely with DevOps, cloud engineering, and compliance teams to implement secure infrastructure and align with best practices.
The Moment
Lean has tripled in size over the past twelve months. We're on track to triple again next year.
What started as the region's pioneering Open Finance platform is now becoming something bigger: a multi-product infrastructure company powering payments, data, and lending across MENA. We're expanding into new markets, opening offices, acquiring businesses, and building capabilities that didn't exist here before.
We've processed billions of dollars in transactions. We're trusted by 300+ clients - from Tabby and Tas'heel to Hungerstation - and backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq. Our $67.5M Series B was just the beginning.
