Job Purpose / Role :

We are looking for a Security Engineer who is looking to work hands-on to help the security team accelerate and support our business even faster.

To thrive in this dynamic role, you\'ll leverage your exceptional technical expertise in information security to bolster our defenses, safeguard our customers\' data from cyber threats, and propel our application security program forward. You\'ll be an integral part of our team, working alongside our talented developers in a collaborative environment that values innovation and excellence.

Join us in shaping a secure future while making a meaningful impact in an exciting and rewarding setting.

While we look for support primarily in the areas of defensive security and application security, we recognize that a strong combination of both is rare, especially within a DevSecOps-focused environment.

Conduct threat modeling of new services and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production, while integrating security practices into the CI / CD pipeline.

Review code of highly critical services to support important product launches, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Enhance our cloud-native threat detection capabilities and automate security processes using scripting and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.

Provide support during incident response and collaborate with development and operations teams to ensure security is a shared responsibility, promoting a culture of adaptability and continuous learning.

Qualifications / Key skills : University degree in Engineering Disciplines preferred.

Strong software development experience.

Experience in developing Application Security programs or Defensive Information Security capabilities (e.g., SOC, SIEM, log analysis, incident response).

Experience in Cloud-native environments.

Skill in integrating security practices into CI / CD pipelines and automating processes with scripting.

Ability to communicate security issues and coach technical teams on best practices.

Knowledge of compliance with regulations and standards (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001).

English proficiency required; additional languages are a plus.
