Senior Security Engineer (Europe/Americas)

We're a fast-growing Scale-up building up our security program from the ground up. As the new member of the InfoSec team, you'll own critical security initiatives end-to-end, working side-by-side with Engineers to harden our cloud-native SaaS platform and significantly raise our overall security posture.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role perfect for a self-starter who enjoys building and deploying scalable security processes in a scale-up environment.

What You'll Do Day-to-Day

• Lead the build-out and operation of core security capabilities: vulnerability management, patching, SIEM/logging, cloud security monitoring, and alert triage.
• Deploy, configure, and tune security tooling (scanners, WAFs, CSPM, SIEM, endpoint protection)
• Partner with engineering to build security with developer experience in mind.
• Triage and assess vulnerabilities, drive remediation prioritisation, and reduce risk in a pragmatic yet rigorous way.
• Design and implement tactical incident-response playbooks and improve detection coverage.
• Periodically review major architectural changes and guide engineering on secure design trade-offs.
• Continuously improve processes so security scales as the company grows.

Do you have experience in Incident response?, * Senior-level experience (typically 5+ years) in security engineering or SecOps, with a strong preference for hands-on roles in startup or scale-up environments.

• Proven ability to independently deploy and manage cloud security solutions, especially in GCP (big plus), AWS, or Azure.
• Deep expertise in one or ideally several of the following: vulnerability management programs, cloud-native SIEM/logging, CSPM/CNAPP tools, IaC security, secure SDLC integration, and incident response.
• You are mindful of developer experience as part of the process.
• Strong communication skills - you can explain complex risks or trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

• OSCP, CISSP, or similar offensive/security certifications;
• Experience preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP
