Senior Security Engineer

Accountabilities

• Architect and oversee advanced security monitoring and threat detection frameworks across diverse systems and log sources.


• Design automated detection logic capable of identifying complex attack patterns and improving the quality and accuracy of security alerts.


• Serve as a senior escalation point for high-impact security incidents and recurring security issues, engineering systemic solutions rather than relying solely on manual remediation.


• Lead the integration of security into the software development lifecycle, including Security-as-Code and automated SAST, DAST, and SCA capabilities within CI/CD pipelines.


• Partner with engineering leaders to establish appropriate security gates and provide expert guidance on complex architectural weaknesses and critical vulnerabilities.


• Own the end-to-end vulnerability management strategy across infrastructure and applications, prioritizing remediation according to business risk and exploitability.


• Lead cross-functional initiatives to address systemic security weaknesses and coordinate technical relationships with external penetration testers and bug bounty researchers.


• Design, implement, and optimize security infrastructure including EDR, Zero Trust, IAM, DLP, and security orchestration and automation capabilities.


• Drive SOAR and other automation initiatives to reduce manual security operations and ensure consistent enforcement of security controls across multi-cloud environments.


• Lead the technical response to critical security incidents, coordinating containment, eradication, recovery, communications, and post-incident activities.


• Conduct detailed root-cause analyses and translate findings into long-term engineering roadmaps that reduce the likelihood of recurring incidents.


• Lead security audits, maturity assessments, and assurance activities while ensuring technical environments align with applicable standards and regulations.


• Define technical standards for validating the effectiveness of security controls and supporting compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001.


• Act as a strategic security advisor for major business and technology initiatives, assessing new technologies and third-party vendors through a Security-by-Design approach.


• Establish standards for security procedures, runbooks, technical documentation, and operational practices.


• Mentor junior and mid-level security engineers and help raise the team's overall technical capabilities and consistency.

• Extensive professional experience in Information Security Engineering, with a proven track record of architecting and deploying resilient security systems at scale.


• Strong ability to translate high-level security policies into practical, enforceable technical standards and drive security initiatives across multiple departments.


• Expert-level knowledge of major cloud platforms, particularly AWS and/or GCP, including secure multi-tenant architecture and deep security configuration assessment.


• Deep expertise in cloud-native and container security, particularly Kubernetes.


• Advanced Infrastructure-as-Code experience with technologies such as Terraform and/or CloudFormation, including the ability to create automated security guardrails for compliant deployments.


• Strong scripting and programming capabilities using modern, actively supported programming languages to develop security tooling, automate SecOps processes, and implement sophisticated detection logic.


• Proven experience architecting and optimizing enterprise security technologies such as SIEM, SOAR, and EDR.


• Strong understanding of detection engineering, alert tuning, security monitoring, and building high-fidelity detection pipelines while minimizing operational noise.


• Demonstrated experience leading DevSecOps initiatives and embedding security into complex CI/CD environments without unnecessarily slowing development velocity.


• Comprehensive knowledge of security and compliance frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST.


• Understanding of international data protection and security regulations, with practical experience preparing for and supporting security audits.


• Strong incident response and digital forensics capabilities, with experience leading technical responses to critical security events.


• Ability to turn complex technical findings and incident root causes into actionable, long-term security strategies.


• Strong architectural thinking, analytical skills, and technical judgment.


• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences.


• Strong leadership and mentoring capabilities, with a willingness to establish standards and raise engineering quality across the wider team.


• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, distributed environment and taking ownership of high-impact security initiatives.


• Willingness to travel occasionally for team gatherings or specific partner engagements, with travel expected to remain limited.

• Remote working opportunity within Europe.


• Flexible environment designed to support distributed collaboration.


• Opportunity to work on security challenges across a large-scale digital platform and global technology ecosystem.


• High level of technical ownership and influence over enterprise security architecture and engineering standards.


• Exposure to modern cloud, container, infrastructure automation, DevSecOps, detection, and incident response technologies.


• Opportunity to shape security strategy and implement automation across multi-cloud environments.


• Collaborative environment with opportunities to mentor and support other security professionals.


• Opportunity to contribute to high-impact security initiatives spanning engineering, infrastructure, compliance, and business operations.


• Occasional travel opportunities for team gatherings and selected partner engagements.


• Inclusive workplace committed to equal opportunity and fair employment practices.


• Opportunity to work in a technology-driven environment connected to global gaming and esports communities.
