Introducing Masabi

// At Masabi, we’re driving the fare payment revolution, powering the journeys of millions all over the world. We build fare collection platforms that allow riders to seamlessly buy and present tickets for public transport either on their mobile phones, from a ticket machine, or even by tapping their bank card to travel.

Our Justride platform is used in over 250 locations globally, including some of the largest cities in the world. With our industry-first mobile ticketing SDK, we’ve partnered with large players in the transport space, including Uber, Moovit and Transit.

Your own journey is important to us too. Choosing a role here means joining a network of innovators from all walks of life; a group of passionate individuals who consistently deliver. Here, you’ll find the tools you need to build the career you want. Whether you’re taking the direct route or trying a new path, we’ll support you no matter what.

The Role_

// As our Director of IT & Security, you'll lead a strategic function that underpins our entire business. From securing our systems to enabling resilient infrastructure, this role is key to keeping Masabi safe, scalable, and mission-ready.

You’ll represent Masabi externally in security engagements and lead internal programs that protect our people, platform, and customers. You’ll head up a small but high-performing team spanning IT and security, with the opportunity to grow through internal collaboration and vendor partnerships.

If you're passionate about cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and enabling high-performing teams in a fast-growing SaaS company, we’d love to hear from you. And if you bring Infrastructure Operations experience, there’s scope to expand the role even further, shaping the technical vision for our AWS infrastructure, leading our SRE team, and owning uptime, cost efficiency, and potentially the full release lifecycle.

// This role is available in hybrid or remote models for candidates based in the UK, or fully remote for those based in Canada (East Coast) or Colombia.
