Job description

Purpose Unlimited is an independent financial services company with an unrelenting focus on customer-centric innovation, delivered through technology-driven solutions. Led by entrepreneur Som Seif, the company is developing a diversified product platform aimed at addressing historically underserved segments of the market. Purpose Unlimited businesses include Purpose Investments, Advisor Solutions by Purpose, and Driven. At Purpose Unlimited, we pride ourselves on being market leaders in innovation.

Who you are

You are a seasoned security professional with deep expertise in architecture, engineering, threat detection, and risk management. You bring a strategic mindset and hands‑on experience designing and implementing enterprise‑wide security frameworks that protect complex environments — cloud, on‑premises, and hybrid.

You thrive in fast‑paced settings where proactive threat detection and rapid incident response are critical. You know how to build and refine detection capabilities, lead investigations, and coordinate cross‑functional teams during high‑pressure situations.

You’re skilled in vulnerability management, from assessments and penetration testing to remediation planning and tool optimization. You take a risk‑based approach to security, balancing technical rigor with business context. You’re also well‑versed in compliance and regulatory frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. You understand how to translate requirements into actionable policies and support audit readiness with clear documentation and process maturity.

Above all, you’re a collaborative leader who can guide teams, influence stakeholders, and continuously evolve security practices to meet the needs of a growing organization.

What you will do

  • Design and implement enterprise‑wide security architectures and frameworks.
  • Develop and maintain security standards, policies, and procedures.
  • Engineer security solutions for cloud, on‑premises, and hybrid environments.
  • Conduct security assessments of existing systems and propose remediation strategies.
  • Monitor security events and investigate potential incidents.
  • Develop and refine detection rules and threat hunting capabilities.
  • Lead incident response efforts and coordinate with cross‑functional teams.
  • Perform forensic analysis and post‑incident reviews.
  • Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
  • Prioritize and coordinate remediation efforts across teams.
  • Manage security scanning tools and maintain vulnerability databases.
  • Develop and maintain policies, standards, and controls aligned to frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and SOC 2. Ensure compliant with regulatory requirements.
  • Translate complex risks into actionable guidance. Lead cross‑functional initiatives and promote a culture of shared security ownership.

What you will bring

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in cloud security, network architecture, IAM, and application security.
  • Familiarity with security frameworks and regulations (ISO, NIST, SOC 2, GDPR, etc.)
  • What's in it for you?

  • At Purpose, you will have the opportunity to work on challenging and impactful projects that are transforming the wealth management industry, with the chance to own and be responsible for new infrastructures that you will help build.
  • You will be working alongside talented engineers and technologists who are passionate about building high‑quality software.
  • We offer a competitive compensation package and a collaborative work environment that fosters creativity and innovation.
  • We believe in innovation and a vibrant culture – work for an innovative, people‑first, financial services firm that values entrepreneurialism.
  • We believe in a flexible work structure – a flexible hybrid work model that empowers you to do your best work whether at home or the office.
  • We care about your rewards – Competitive compensation including equity program.
  • We care about your health – comprehensive group health and dental benefits and life insurance at little to no cost to you; we also offer a Lifestyle Spending Account for all your wellness needs.
  • We care about your quality of life – flexible paid time‑off policy with unlimited vacation days, and flexible sick and mental health days.
  • We care about your family – Paid parental leave for eligible employees with a top‑up.
  • We care about your future – Generous Group RRSP matching and an optional TFSA program.
  • We care about your development – We offer training opportunities and tuition support year‑round.
  • Purpose Unlimited is an equal‑opportunity employer, and we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and barrier‑free work environment for all employees and candidates. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and if accommodation is required during any stage of the recruitment process, please contact any member of the People and Culture team at peopleteam@purpose-unlimited.com.

    We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those selected for interviews will be contacted.

    Our work philosophy is a hybrid model allowing for flexibility and collaboration.
