Stay safe on Himalayas

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

At SoSafe, you'll be part of a cybersecurity team that thrives on innovation, safeguarding organizations against evolving threats and making the digital world a safer place. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact, surrounded by a vibrant and supportive team and environment committed to your professional growth.

Here's how you'll make a difference:

  • Own and lead SoSafe’s business-critical Messaging Platform, responsible for outbound communication across all products

  • Build and evolve a shared, multi-channel messaging backbone, abstracting provider-specific complexity and delivery mechanics away from product teams

  • Ensure messaging remains reliable, scalable and compliant by default - even as volume, channels and business requirements grow

  • Translate company and engineering strategy into a clear, outcome-driven roadmap, balancing reliability, scalability, compliance and new capabilities

  • Reduce delivery and operational complexity for experience squads by providing clear abstractions and reliable platform services

  • Drive operational excellence through improved monitoring, incident response and continuous improvement

  • Build strong partnerships with Product and other Platform teams to maximize impact across the organization

What makes you a great fit:

  • You have led and grown engineering teams

  • You bring strong people leadership experience and enjoy coaching, developing and growing experienced engineers

  • You’re comfortable leading teams through ambiguity, turning strategy into execution and measurable outcomes

  • You bring a technical background and can confidently set technical direction

  • You are comfortable operating business-critical systems in cloud-native environments

  • You value reliability and operational excellence as much as feature delivery

  • You think in platforms and products, treating experience squads as your customers

  • You communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

You’re familiar with - or excited to work with - the following areas:

  • Modern backend development, primarily with Node.js (NestJS) in a microservice-based architecture

  • Containerized and cloud-native systems, including Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps-style deployments with ArgoCD

  • Version control and CI/CD workflows built around GitHub and automated delivery pipelines

  • Cloud infrastructure on AWS, operating and scaling business-critical services

  • Messaging and email delivery systems, including AWS SES, SMTP-based delivery, and Postfix

  • Developer tooling and operational observability, using tools like Cursor IDE, LaunchDarkly, and Sentry

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

*Perks and benefits listed above are for full-time employees and may vary slightly by office location. These are just a sample — you'll learn more during the interview process.

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.
