Security Engineer (Remote - Europe)

Role overview Own hands-on application security for an AI-powered consumer platform, helping teams find, understand, and fix vulnerabilities throughout the web application. You’ll set security priorities with little day-to-day support and communicate risk clearly across the organization. The role also involves keeping watch for AI-specific attacks, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, and attempts to bypass content safeguards.

Responsibilities - Conduct regular code reviews to detect application vulnerabilities before release. - Assess and prioritize security issues, work with engineers on remediation, and verify that fixes are effective. - Coordinate external audits and penetration tests, review reported findings, and drive them through to resolution. - Automate security checks and build supporting scripts, using AI tools in day-to-day security work. - Independently manage security priorities, explain technical risk in accessible terms, and keep basic risk and governance documentation current. - Monitor AI threats and provider incidents, share security guidance, and respond to alerts, including occasional night or weekend on-call.

Requirements - Two or more years of hands-on security experience, including ongoing application security work rather than compliance alone. - A practical example of a vulnerability you discovered and helped remediate. - Experience managing an external security audit or penetration test and following findings through to fixes. - Ability to own security work independently, communicate effectively with non-specialists, and work within Git-based engineering workflows. - Python or Bash scripting experience and recent hands-on work with a modern web stack and cloud or hosting environment. - Daily use of AI tools for security work and an investigative approach to making software safer.

Benefits and work setup - Fully remote across Europe; B2B contracting is preferred, with flexibility around contract type. - 20 working days of paid leave each year and an annual in-person team gathering. - Monthly health insurance support, one-to-one wellbeing sessions, and a coworking allowance for up to two visits per month. - Learning funds, laptop and equipment support, and access to premium AI tools.
