At Palatin, we're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join a fast-growing international technology company that is scaling rapidly and investing heavily in its engineering platform. This is a unique opportunity to build the company's security function from the ground up. You'll define the roadmap, implement security controls, shape security culture, and become the reference point for security across the organization. If you enjoy ownership, making decisions and building rather than maintaining, this role offers exactly that. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement the company's security strategy, establishing security practices and controls from the ground up. Secure cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes environments and applications, improving the overall security posture across the platform. Lead vulnerability management, incident response and security monitoring while collaborating closely with engineering teams. Promote a security-first culture through awareness initiatives, documentation and practical guidance for developers. Partner with Platform, Engineering and leadership teams to balance business growth with security best practices. Requirements: 5+ years of experience in Security Engineering, Infrastructure Security or Application Security. Previous experience building or significantly maturing a security function within a startup or scale-up environment. Strong hands-on experience securing AWS (or GCP), Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.



Solid understanding of application security principles, OWASP Top 10, API Security and secure software development. Programming experience with Python, Go or Type Script. Experience with incident response, vulnerability management and security automation. Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously in an international environment. Nice to have: Experience with Terraform, Docker or Infrastructure as Code security. Knowledge of GDPR, SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Background in penetration testing or offensive security. What we offer: Permanent position in a fast-growing international technology company. Hybrid working model with flexibility and offices located in central Barcelona. (40% home-office) Versátil working hours focused on outcomes rather than schedules. Private health insurance fully covered by the company. Wellhub membership and wellbeing benefits. 15 additional fully remote working days per year. Opportunity to shape the entire security strategy and have direct influence on engineering and business decisions. Fast and transparent hiring process with quick feedback throughout every stage. If you're looking for more than maintaining existing security controls and want to build, influence and own the security roadmap of a growing technology company, working side by side with engineering leadership in an international environment, we'd love to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
