Security Engineer

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Security Engineer in Spain.

Join a fast-growing, globally distributed engineering organization building one of the most advanced PostgreSQL platforms for modern transactional, analytical, and AI-driven workloads. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and security, helping to embed security practices directly into products, cloud environments, and developer workflows. You will work closely with engineering teams to identify vulnerabilities, improve secure development practices, and strengthen the overall security posture of a highly scalable, cloud-native platform. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will write production-grade code, build security tooling, and drive automation across CI/CD and infrastructure systems. It offers the opportunity to work in a remote-first, highly collaborative environment where ownership, speed, and technical depth are highly valued.

Accountabilities

• Triage, validate, and remediate security vulnerabilities across applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, and internal systems.
• Design, develop, and maintain internal and open-source security tools, contributing production-grade code in modern programming languages.
• Conduct secure code reviews, threat modeling exercises, and security architecture reviews to improve engineering practices.
• Build and enhance security automation across CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and internal engineering platforms.
• Support incident response activities, security investigations, and compliance-related processes such as audits and access reviews.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to embed security best practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Investigate emerging risks, including AI-assisted development threats, and integrate AI tools into security workflows where appropriate.
• Participate in continuous improvement of detection, monitoring, and preventative security controls across systems.
• Contribute to engineering discussions and decisions that improve resilience, scalability, and security of distributed systems.
  
  

Requirements

• Proven experience in software engineering, security engineering, or a hybrid of both roles in production environments.
• Strong ability to read, write, and maintain production-grade code, ideally in Go, Python, Rust, or similar languages.
• Solid understanding of security fundamentals across application, infrastructure, cloud, and platform security domains.
• Hands-on experience building automation, tooling, or systems that improve security posture and operational efficiency.
• Strong familiarity with modern cloud-native environments, containers, Kubernetes, and distributed systems architectures.
• Experience with secure development practices including code review, threat modeling, and vulnerability management.
• Analytical and problem-solving mindset with a strong focus on building scalable and automated solutions.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownership and autonomy.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with engineering and cross-functional teams.
• Interest in AI-assisted development workflows and modern developer tooling is highly valued.
  
  

Benefits

• Fully remote work environment with global flexibility.
• Competitive compensation with long-term stock option opportunities.
• Flexible paid time off policy, including enhanced holiday periods.
• Additional company-wide shutdown periods (e.g., Fridays off in August).
• Monthly home office and connectivity stipends.
• Professional development and learning support programs.
• Comprehensive health and family insurance options (depending on location).
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge PostgreSQL and cloud-native technologies at scale.
• High-autonomy engineering culture focused on building impactful systems.
• Inclusive and collaborative global team environment with strong technical ownership.
