Role Description

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.

Are you a visionary Staff or Principal Engineer, excited about pushing the boundaries of automation and artificial intelligence deployed across a whole company? We're seeking an exceptional candidate to join our IT Engineering team to build the foundation for our AI-native future, in one of the industry's fastest growing SaaS scale-ups.

Here's how you'll make a difference:

• Test-bed: Architect, build and iterate a toolchain fusing traditional automation and productivity tools (n8n, google workspace, etc) with spec-driven design and agentic working, test out on IT and Security.
• Iterate: Advocate, mentor and enable other early adopter teams to use our platforms, get value, provide feedback, iterate the platform.
• Standardise: Build self-sustaining cultural practices across the organisation, enable whole departments, scale the platform for everyone.
• Drive the evolution of IT operations towards an all-encompassing *-as-code infrastructure model through hands-on architecture and design.
• Contribute to the IT/Sec Operating System as we move wholesale to build-not-buy teams.
• Mentor and level up the existing IT engineering team, then whole departments, serving as a technical guide to accelerate skills transfer and foster a strong, collaborative engineering culture.
• Champion and advocate for our shared automation and AI platforms and methodologies, driving cross-departmental adoption to break down operational silos.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience operating at a Staff or Principal Engineer level, ideally within an established, successful, cloud-native hypergrowth SaaS environment.
• Hands-on builder and systems thinker.
• A background that includes hands-on coding, ideally in a platform or SRE team.
• A track record of successful AI-native adoption, showcasing how you've successfully moved workflows beyond experimental prompts into robust, production-grade automated workflows or agents.
• Deep technical mastery of at least some of: infrastructure-as-code, modern CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions) and enterprise-grade workflow orchestration (e.g., n8n, Zapier).
• A pragmatic engineering mindset.
• Great leadership, stakeholder management and communication skills.

Requirements

• Understand that while agentic working is fast and flexible, it brings significant utilization costs; know how to design hybrid architectures that balance speed with financial efficiency.
• Excel at explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical "citizen coders" and executive stakeholders alike.

Benefits

• A mandate from the CEO to massively accelerate our AI-native transformation in every role.
• A company comfortable with rapid change and iterative development.
• Collaborative and highly supportive IT and Security team around you.
• Close relationships with super-smart, highly engaged peers across G&A, GTM and Product Engineering.
