Staff Engineer - Policy as Code (m/f/d) bei SoSafe

SoSafe has the ambition to become the leading human risk management provider in Europe. Our award-winning awareness platform triggers behavioural change by providing effective and engaging training and simulations on cybersecurity and data protection. Cybercrime is predicted to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 - we invite you to be part of the solution!

Here's how you'll make a difference:

• Lead design, implement, and maintain policy-as-code, tests, and process automation that make security controls measurable and verifiable

• Build and integrate pipelines that connect product, business, compliance and security data into shared systems

• Improve and simplify cross-team processes by automating recurring checks, evidence collection, and reporting

• Integrate your solutions with existing workflows such as Security Operations and Security Observability

• Help define and evolve a consistent internal data model for tracking security posture and control health

• Contribute to or lead open-sourcing selected components of our work to support transparency and reusability

• Participate in our in-hours triage rotation to stay close to operational challenges and feedback loops

• Collaborate with other teams on wider architectural patterns and best practices for securing multi-tenant SaaS applications

What makes you a great fit:

• Genuine interest in learning security concepts and applying engineering skills to improve how security works in practice

• Professional experience in DevOps, IT Engineer, data engineering or similiar roles supporting SaaS products

• Strong programming skills in a modern language such as Python or Go (we primarily work in TypeScript)

• Some knowledge of AWS services and tools such as Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, and Git/GitHub workflows

• Experience designing or improving cross-team processes through automation

• Ability to think holistically about systems, data, and user needs - and turn that into working, maintainable solutions

Nice to haves:

• Professional experience working with or within a security team is a plus, but not required

• Background in data management, pipelines, or internal tooling

• Experience using AI tools creatively to improve efficiency and simplify work

What we offer*

• Work/Life balance: Flexible hours, 33 vacation days

• Wellbeing and financial support: Access to Open Up, corporate discounts
