About the Role

We are looking for an experienced technical lead to coordinate ATM security activities across NCR Atleos products and solutions.

This is not a traditional cybersecurity role and it is not purely a physical security role. The position sits across multiple engineering disciplines and covers everything from encryption and authentication technologies through to physical attacks against ATMs, fraud devices and emerging criminal attack methods.

The successful candidate will work with subject matter experts across mechanical engineering, electronics, firmware, software, encryption, safes, locks and fraud prevention technologies to investigate threats, assess vulnerabilities and help define future security solutions.

We're looking for someone with a broad technical background spanning multiple engineering disciplines, strong problem-solving skills and a genuine interest in understanding how products work, how they fail and how they can be protected.

You do not need to be the expert in every area, but you should be capable of bringing the right experts together, challenging assumptions and helping drive effective technical solutions.
