Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

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. Cybercrime is predicted to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 - we invite you to be part of the solution!

Here's how you'll make a difference:

  • Lead design, implement, and maintain policy-as-code, tests, and process automation that make security controls measurable and verifiable

  • Build and integrate pipelines that connect product, business, compliance and security data into shared systems

  • Improve and simplify cross-team processes by automating recurring checks, evidence collection, and reporting

  • Integrate your solutions with existing workflows such as Security Operations and Security Observability

  • Help define and evolve a consistent internal data model for tracking security posture and control health

  • Contribute to or lead open-sourcing selected components of our work to support transparency and reusability

  • Participate in our in-hours triage rotation to stay close to operational challenges and feedback loops

  • Collaborate with other teams on wider architectural patterns and best practices for securing multi-tenant SaaS applications

What makes you a great fit:

  • Genuine interest in learning security concepts and applying engineering skills to improve how security works in practice

  • Professional experience in DevOps, IT Engineer, data engineering or similiar roles supporting SaaS products

  • Strong programming skills in a modern language such as Python or Go (we primarily work in TypeScript)

  • Some knowledge of AWS services and tools such as Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, and Git/GitHub workflows

  • Experience designing or improving cross-team processes through automation

  • Ability to think holistically about systems, data, and user needs - and turn that into working, maintainable solutions

Nice to haves:

  • Professional experience working with or within a security team is a plus, but not required

  • Background in data management, pipelines, or internal tooling

  • Experience using AI tools creatively to improve efficiency and simplify work

What we offer*

  • Work/Life balance: Flexible hours, 33 vacation days

  • Wellbeing and financial support: Access to Open Up, corporate discounts

  • Connection & community: Virtual events, collaborative team activities, and opportunities for local meet-ups

  • And the list goes on: Tech equipment, referral bonuses, dog-friendly HQ

View company profile

SoSafe's journey began in 2018 in Cologne, Germany, born from the vision of Dr. Niklas Hellemann, a psychologist, alongside Lukas Schaefer and Felix Schuerholz. Recognizing the critical, yet often overlooked, human element in cybersecurity, they set out to transform how organizations approach digital threats. What started as a focused endeavor to bolster digital self-defense quickly gained traction, driven by a unique methodology blending behavioral science with smart technology. The founders understood that true security resilience couldn't be achieved through technology alone; it required a fundamental shift in employee behavior and awareness.

The company's disruptive approach, putting people first and leveraging insights from psychology and social engineering, resonated deeply in a market saturated with purely technical solutions. SoSafe's platform was designed not just to inform, but to engage and empower employees, turning them into an active line of defense. This human-centric philosophy fueled rapid growth. By focusing on creating sustainable security cultures through personalized learning experiences and realistic attack simulations, SoSafe began to make a tangible impact. The platform's ability to make complex cybersecurity concepts accessible and actionable for everyone, regardless of their technical background, became a key differentiator. This early success laid the groundwork for significant expansion, attracting talent and investment, and propelling SoSafe towards becoming a leading name in security awareness and human risk management across Europe and beyond. The team's dedication to continuous innovation, informed by ongoing research into human behavior and evolving cyber threats, ensures that SoSafe remains at the forefront of empowering organizations to navigate the complexities of the digital world with confidence.
