Company Overview:
We're Zocks, a venture capital-backed AI startup changing the world of financial services, and other industries that value security and privacy. Our founding team built their careers working on real-time communication products, building enterprise platforms, and crafting tools for some of the most security-conscious industries. With experience gained from industry leaders like Twilio, IBM, Microsoft, and Hearsay Systems, we're using AI to bridge human conversations with enterprise systems, starting with financial services. 

Our focus, although simple, is powerful: reinventing business operations and transforming the areas that often get bogged down by slow, inefficient processes. Our innovative platform allows people to communicate naturally, while we capture the information they need, so they can avoid data entry, streamline their operations, and spend more time on what matters most: their clients.

Location: Budapest, XI. (On-site Monday to Thursday, Remote on Fridays)

Why we're hiring for this role: We're rapidly expanding, and with that comes an increasing urgency to mature our security posture. Compliance readiness, and proactive risk management are becoming equally critical — this role will be a key driver of those efforts alongside infrastructure ownership. This could be a unique opportunity to have a big impact in owning security initiatives and establishing a strong security baseline at Zocks.

  • Solid Linux systems engineering knowledge
  • Production-grade Kubernetes experience
  • Experience operating multi-cluster container environments
  • Daily hands-on experience with Terraform or other IaC tooling

  • Strong troubleshooting and incident handling skills
  • Fluent English and Hungarian language knowledge
  • Exposure to Azure or GCP
