Overview
Scorewarrior is seeking a Head of Information Security to build and manage a security system that protects key assets while fostering a collaborative environment. Relocation support is provided for this onsite role in Limassol, Cyprus. Scorewarrior is an independent game studio with a single mission: to excite and unite players all over the world. For over 10 years we've been pursuing it through Total Battle — a product we continue to actively and successfully grow. We're a team of 230 self-motivated professionals who know and love their craft, and we've recently begun an active company-wide adoption of AI tools.
Key objectives
- •Build a viable security system across the core domains:
- •IAM (access management, MFA, SSO)
- •infrastructure security (cloud, services, network)
- •foundational SDLC/AppSec (security in the development process and in the code)
- •processes and training around them.
- •Own security risks and speak both languages:
- •business language with the CTO and CEO — risk, cost, and priorities;
- •technology language with developers and infrastructure teams — architecture, trade-offs, and practical solutions.
- •Make the right build-vs-buy calls:
- •know the security product market well enough to tell when a problem needs a tool, when a simpler method will do, and when the problem isn't in the tooling at all.
- •Introduce security as a partner, not a blocker:
- •embed baseline practices so smoothly that teams barely notice them;
- •inform, help when asked, and don't push when it's not the team's priority right now.
- •Define how AI tools are used safely:
- •own the policy and guardrails for the company-wide adoption of AI tools.
- •Build the team:
- •hire the first security engineers deliberately and grow the function as the company's needs grow.
Nice to have
- •Experience in security engineering or a transition into security from system administration, technical support, or network engineering.
Job requirements
- •8+ years of hands-on experience in security — real projects you designed, implemented, and stayed around long enough to see working.
- •A background that gave you real systems experience.
- •Proven experience hiring and building a team — even a small one (2+ people).
- •Experience building a security function, not just running one.
- •Strong awareness of the security product market.
- •A partner's operating style.
