About the team
As Nubank expands its footprint into the US, we are seeking a visionary, highly specialized US Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
This is not a traditional operational CISO role. You will serve as the executive pillar for Nubank’s US strategy, bridging the gap between traditional financial regulations and modern, hyper-scalable crypto and AI technology platforms. You will act as the point of accountability for US regulatory bodies, lead governance transformations, and oversee critical cross-functional security domain leadership.
We are looking for a security leader who balances deep traditional banking compliance expertise with a forward-looking understanding of cryptocurrency protocols and artificial intelligence security.
About the role
As the US CISO, you will architect, establish, and operationalize a unified US security and compliance posture. You will protect customer trust, satisfy strict US regulatory frameworks (e.g., OCC compliance), and secure frontier technology initiatives ensuring Nubank’s platform remains resilient, future-proof, and compliant as we scale globally.
Our recruitment process may involve the use of artificial intelligence–enabled tools, such as automated interview transcription and analysis, to support the evaluation process. Artificial intelligence is not used to make final hiring decisions; all decisions are made by human reviewers.
