We are partnering with a rapidly growing technology company with over 50 million users worldwide that is seeking to onboard a Security Engineer to join their R&D team.
As the company’s sole dedicated Security Engineer, the successful candidate will take end-to-end ownership of security operations, covering application security, vulnerability management, governance and risk, and emerging AI security challenges.
The company’s products include adult/NSFW content, so candidates must be fully comfortable working with this material.
Role: This is a hands-on, end-to-end security role as the company's only dedicated Security Engineer on a large-scale AI companionship platform. Day-to-day, the person will review code, drive vulnerability remediation with developers, coordinate pen tests and audits, maintain the risk register, monitor threats, manage device and access security, and track AI-specific risks such as prompt injection and jailbreaks. It is a fully remote European B2B contractor position that is technical and independent, not a compliance-only or advisory role.
Responsibilities
• Application security: review code, find and fix vulnerabilities, work with developers in Git/GitHub, and coordinate external pen tests and audits.
• Governance, risk and compliance: build and maintain the security risk register, assess exposure across systems, support audit follow-up, and prioritise fixes by risk and business impact.
• Monitoring and awareness: watch alerts and threats, run awareness programmes and phishing simulations, and provide occasional evening and weekend cover.
• IT security and access: handle secure onboarding and offboarding, device security (MDM) and access permissions, and tighten internal controls.
• AI security: track risks to generative AI platforms (prompt injection, jailbreaks, filter bypasses) and vulnerabilities in third-party AI providers.
Your Qualifications
• 2–3+ years of hands-on security engineering experience, with flexibility for exceptional scale-up experience
• Strong application security experience, including code reviews and vulnerability remediation
• Proven experience conducting or coordinating security audits and penetration tests
• Comfortable coding and working directly with Git/GitHub
• Practical scripting or automation skills, ideally Python or Bash
• Previous experience within an AI company or a scale-up with 50+ employees
• Sound understanding of security governance, risk assessment and prioritisation
• Ability to independently identify, investigate and resolve security issues, and to take end-to-end ownership in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent English communication skills
• Based in Europe, with approximately 80% overlap with CET working hours
• Comfortable with occasional evening/weekend security monitoring
• Fully comfortable working with adult/NSFW content as part of daily responsibilities
The Offer
• Fully remote working from Europe
• Opportunity to own security for a fast-growing AI platform with over 50 million users
• Direct collaboration with engineering leadership
• Hands-on, non-advisory role with real responsibility for security outcomes
• And many more!!!
