We are looking for an Application Security Engineer to join our IT Research & Development team.
In this role, you will work closely with engineering teams to help add security to the development process. You will be working in an automation-driven environment, contributing to solutions built from scratch, especially including AI-driven initiatives, and helping secure a large ecosystem of services. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands code, thinks like a developer, and approaches security as an enabler, not a blocker.
What Makes This Role Interesting
- Opportunity to work on AI-driven solutions from idea to production.
- A role focused on real impact rather than rigid titles or processes.
- Work across a wide range of systems, technologies, and challenges.
- High level of ownership and ability to shape how security is implemented.
Key Responsibilities
- Integrate and optimize security tools (SAST, SCA, Secret Scanning, etc.) into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins).
- Review and validate security findings, making sure developers focus on real, important issues.
- Perform threat modeling and review system architecture to identify risks beyond automated tools.
- Analyze code to detect and understand security vulnerabilities.
- Collaborate with engineers and Tech Leads to implement secure, practical solutions.
- Promote secure coding practices through guidance and knowledge sharing.
Key Requirements
- Ability to read and understand code (PHP, Node.js, or Golang preferred).
- Experience in software development or application security.
- Knowledge of OWASP Top 10 (XSS, SQLi, IDOR, etc.).
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as GitLab or Jenkins.
- Experience with security tools like Semgrep, SonarQube, Trivy, or similar.
- Understanding of secure coding practices and threat modeling.
- Strong communication skills and a practical, collaborative mindset.
- We believe great ideas happen together, so you’ll join us in a hybrid setup: 3 days in our lovely office and 2 days working remotely.
Compensation
The compensation for this position is starting from 5,000 EUR gross per month, depending on the applicant’s professional experience in the relevant field.
