Description
Your mission
As a Security Engineer at Futurae, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the security of our platforms and products. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to implement security best practices, conduct security assessments, and provide innovative solutions to enhance the security posture of our products.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role where you will partner with Engineering, Product, to embed security into the DNA of our software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will be responsible for defining security best practices, conducting deep-dive security assessments, and building innovative, AI-driven solutions to harden our product security posture against modern threats.
Requirements
Required Skills
- Lead deep-dive security reviews of system designs and source code. You won’t just find flaws; you will design secure protocols and resilient architectures from the ground up.
- Proactively hunt for weaknesses using Static Analysis (SAST), Reverse Engineering, and custom-built fuzzers. You will research and reproduce vulnerabilities to ensure our defenses are battle-tested.
- Develop and scale secure operational practices, providing hands-on guidance to engineering teams to ensure state-of-the-art security is baked into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- Design and execute automated security tests and fuzzing campaigns to identify edge-case logic flaws in our authentication and payment flows.
- Vigilantly monitor security events to detect anomalies. In the event of a breach, you will lead the technical incident response and remediation efforts to protect our customers and assets.
- Maintain a "threat-first" mindset by staying at the forefront of security trends, emerging exploits, and AI-driven attack vectors, ensuring our tech stack remains ahead of the curve.
Qualifications
- Extensive experience performing security assessments, deep-dive design reviews, and threat modelling (e.g., STRIDE) for complex distributed systems.
- Several years of experience with security engineering, DevSecOps, computer and network security, PKI and security protocols.
- Strong software engineering background with professional proficiency in at least one general-purpose language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, or C++) to build tools and audit code.
- A sophisticated understanding of modern encryption standards, security principles, and the ability to champion secure coding practices across engineering teams.
- Fluency in English with the ability to articulate complex security risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience in security research, vulnerability investigation, or incident response.
- Familiarity with cloud security and securing cloud infrastructure (e.g., GCP, AWS).
- Experience as an Ethical Hacker.
- Experience with security compliance standards (e.g., ISO 27001, ISAE 3402/SOC).
- Fluency in German or other languages.
Benefits
