Trusted by organisations across international markets, the company combines advanced AI capabilities with a strong commitment to data protection, digital sovereignty, and scalable innovation.

The organisation is seeking for a skilled Senior Application Security Engineer to identify and exploit real world vulnerabilities across applications, APIs and cloud infrastructure before attackers do, helping secure a platform built on proprietary infrastructure rather than public cloud.

Responsibilities:

  • Perform hands on penetration testing across web applications, APIs, cloud platforms and publicly exposed infrastructure.
  • Conduct offensive security assessments, simulate real world attacks and identify vulnerabilities across the AI cloud platform.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to validate findings, recommend remediations and improve secure development practices.
  • Assess the security of cloud infrastructure, internal tooling and production environments using a red team mindset.
  • Develop and refine offensive security tooling, testing methodologies and security processes as the platform continues to scale.
  • Support incident investigations, security reviews and continuous improvements across application and infrastructure security.


Skills/Must have:

  • Strong hands on experience testing web applications, APIs and modern application architectures.
  • Experience assessing cloud infrastructure, ideally within a cloud service provider or infrastructure platform.
  • Strong understanding of infrastructure security across Linux, networking and self managed environments rather than purely public cloud services.
  • Experience identifying, exploiting and communicating security vulnerabilities with clear remediation guidance.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work closely with engineering teams and explain technical findings clearly.


Nice to have:

  • Experience securing AI platforms, GPU infrastructure or large scale cloud environments.

  • Experience developing offensive security tooling or automation using Python or Go.
  • OSCP, OSWE, CRTO, CREST or similar offensive security certifications.


Benefits:

  • Competitive salary with equity and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Opportunity to secure one of Europe's fastest growing AI cloud platforms.
  • Work on cutting edge infrastructure built specifically for AI workloads.
  • No take home tests with a practical, technical interview process.
