• Collaborate with developers and product owners to propose and support remediation of security issues
• Write or review pull requests to fix security vulnerabilities directly in the codebase
• Validate results from external penetration tests and integrate them into the development backlog
• Contribute to threat modeling, secure code reviews, and security design discussions
• Support the Secure Development Lifecycle (SAST, dependency scanning, and CI/CD security automation)
• Perform lightweight penetration testing of new features and releases when needed
• Maintain clear documentation to support application security processes
• Coordinate communication between Security, Development, and Product teams for faster resolution of security tickets
  
  
  

Requirements

• Previous experience as a developer in a modern backend or frontend stack
• Hands-on security experience through bug bounty programs, CTFs, or penetration testing
• Solid understanding of common application vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10, SSRF, IDOR)
• Familiarity with SAST/DAST tools such as SonarQube and Snyk
• Experience collaborating with developers and product teams
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills with a "find and fix" mindset
  
  
  

Bonus Points:

• Experience creating or merging pull requests for security fixes in production code
• Knowledge of secure coding practices in web and API development
• Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Terraform, Helm)
• Exposure to WAFs, anti-bot solutions, or related application security defenses
• Interest in contributing to security automation and developer enablement
  
  
  

Benefits

• Remote-first work with flexibility to thrive anywhere in Europe
• International, diverse team with inclusive culture
• Generous paid time off to ensure work-life balance
• Health insurance fully covered
• Work-from-home and co-working space budgets to optimize your setup
