[Hiring] Security Engineer @Salve.Inno Consulting

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on Security Engineer - Application Security, GRC & AI to join the R&D team of a rapidly growing international technology company serving more than 50 million users worldwide. As the company's sole dedicated Security Engineer, you will take end-to-end ownership of security operations, covering:

• Application security
• Vulnerability management
• Governance
• Risk assessment
• Internal IT security
• Emerging AI-related threats

This is a highly technical and autonomous position requiring someone who can personally investigate vulnerabilities, review code, implement security improvements, and collaborate directly with developers and engineering leadership. You will play a central role in protecting a large-scale AI-powered consumer platform, coordinating external security assessments, maintaining security governance processes, and strengthening the organisation's overall security posture.

The ideal candidate combines strong application security expertise with practical coding skills, sound risk management judgment, and the ability to independently identify and resolve security challenges. This is not a compliance-only or purely advisory role. We are looking for a proactive, technically capable Security Engineer who enjoys hands-on problem-solving and takes direct responsibility for security outcomes.

Qualifications

• Minimum 2-3+ years of hands-on security engineering experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates from fast-growing technology environments.
• Strong practical experience in application security, including code reviews, vulnerability identification, and remediation.
• Proven experience conducting or coordinating security audits and penetration tests.
• Ability to work directly with application code and development teams using Git/GitHub.
• Practical scripting or automation experience, ideally using Python, Bash, or equivalent technologies.
• Previous experience within an AI company or a technology scale-up with at least 50 employees.
• Sound understanding of security governance, risk assessment, vulnerability prioritisation, and remediation processes.
• Ability to develop or maintain security risk registers and support audit-related activities.
• Strong technical problem-solving skills and an investigative, security-focused mindset.
• Ability to independently identify, investigate, and resolve security vulnerabilities.
• Comfortable taking end-to-end ownership of security operations without relying on a large dedicated security team.
• Strong collaboration skills when working with developers, engineering leadership, and external security providers.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, fully remote technology environment.
• Willingness to provide occasional evening and weekend security monitoring coverage.
• Willingness to work under a B2B contractor agreement.

Requirements

• Experience securing AI-powered applications, generative AI systems, or LLM-based products.
• Previous responsibility as a sole, lead, or independently operating Security Engineer.
• Experience within fast-growing AI startups or technology scale-ups.
• Practical use of AI tools for security research, code review, vulnerability analysis, or workflow automation.
• Personal security research, ethical hacking projects, or independent vulnerability discovery.
• Experience working across application security, governance, access management, and security awareness.
• Familiarity with emerging AI security threats, including prompt injection and jailbreak techniques.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package based on experience and seniority.
• Fully remote working arrangement from Europe.
• B2B contractor engagement.
• Opportunity to take full ownership of security operations for a rapidly growing AI platform with over 50 million users.
• Direct collaboration with engineering leadership and senior technical stakeholders.
• High level of autonomy and responsibility for security decisions and outcomes.
• Opportunity to work across application security, governance, vulnerability management, and emerging AI security challenges.
• Exposure to large-scale consumer technology infrastructure and AI-powered products.
• Hands-on technical environment focused on implementing practical security improvements.
• International working environment within a rapidly growing technology organisation.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development in application and AI security.
