At Spendesk, we're building the leading spend management platform for modern businesses, processing billions of euros across Europe and beyond. Security is at the heart of what we do: our customers trust us to safeguard their financial data, and we're committed to raising the bar for security in fintech. We're building a dedicated Security Engineering function. You'll join alongside a Senior Security Engineer and together form the operational security backbone of the engineering organisation.
You’ll be hands-on across vulnerability management, access controls, monitoring, and secure development support. You’ll work closely with a Senior Security Engineer who’ll mentor you and help you grow, while partnering day-to-day with Infrastructure and product engineering teams. This is a hands-on engineering role, not a dashboard-watching SOC seat or a governance one: you’ll build, fix, and improve, while a separate team owns policy and risk frameworks. You’ll learn fast and ship real security improvements from week one. You will sit at the intersection of two domains: as a security engineer,
your impact will be directly measured by how effectively you translate second-line-of-defense guidance (from the Compliance and Regulatory team) into practice, while ensuring technical alignment and buy-in from the Product and Engineering organisation you are part of.
Monitor and process security alerts from our SIEM and other monitoring tools.
Implement and maintain SSO/MFA configurations for product and infrastructure systems, leveraging Okta and Google Workspace to manage downstream access rights.
Run pre-deployment security checks: static analysis, dependency scanning, container image scanning.
Flag issues in code reviews when security patterns are violated.
Help engineers understand and fix security findings.
Assess adoption of AI coding tools across engineering teams: flag insecure usage patterns, identify data leakage risks, and help maintain internal AI usage guidelines.
