About the role
We are seeking a Product Security Engineer to empower our engineering teams to design and build secure software across our diverse product portfolio. While this role includes integrating advanced security practices into cutting-edge technologies—such as Generative AI (GenAI), Large Language Models (LLM), and data governance systems - it also focuses on ensuring the security of our microservice architecture and mobile application.
What you'll do
- Apply your knowledge of security architecture to help software engineers build secure products and services across a diverse technology stack, including microservices, mobile applications, and cutting-edge AI-driven solutions
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to understand their application security needs, including those related to emerging technologies like Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLM)
- Perform application security design reviews, threat modeling, and code reviews, ensuring security principles are embedded in every stage of the development lifecycle
- Use your penetration testing skills to assess and strengthen the security of internal and external applications and services, including AI-powered features and traditional systems
- Develop tooling to support the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) and other security initiatives across diverse product environments
- Build automation frameworks to enable engineering teams to deliver secure features efficiently, whether for AI solutions or traditional applications
- Educate engineering teams and security champions on secure coding and development practices, including security considerations unique to AI and data governance
- Enable engineering teams to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they reach production, with a focus on both general application security and AI-specific risks
What you'll need
- Proficiency in software engineering with one or more general-purpose programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, or similar)
- Experience with threat modeling, security testing, and analyzing applications, including those involving emerging technologies like Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLM)
- Prior experience in building automation to support the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC)
- Proven ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams, supporting them throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
- A passion for information security and an interest in staying ahead of evolving threats, particularly those targeting AI systems
- Deep technical knowledge in one or more areas: Cloud and networking security, Web application security, Mobile security, Security challenges unique to AI-driven products and data governance
- Strong understanding of microservice architectures and working with scalable software in the cloud
- Solid knowledge of secure coding best practices and security standards, including the OWASP Top 10
What they offer
- Competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation
- Hybrid work model with dedicated team days in office plus flexible remote work
- Premium N26 subscription plus subscriptions for friends and family members
