About your team

You will join a growing security team where you can take meaningful ownership of the practices and policies you help develop. You will work closely with backend engineering and other departments to integrate practical security requirements across the company.

About the role

As a Security Engineer, you'll cover a broad range of operational and strategic security work rather than a single narrow specialty. In your first few months, you'll focus on learning Eneba's tech stack and understanding how our services and systems fit together. That foundation is essential before you can secure those systems effectively.

Day-to-day, you can expect to

Hands-on coding and security implementation work make up the largest part of the role today, alongside incident response and threat-hunting responsibilities.

Review and triage security submissions and incident reports.

Evaluate and respond to bug bounty reports, including remediation follow-through

Build, operate, and improve incident response and remediation processes.

Write and maintain security policies and documentation.

Communicate security requirements and risks clearly to non-technical departments

Review application monitoring and logs to catch and investigate anomalies

Support access governance and permission-management processes.

About the tech

The tech stack is the same one our backend teams work with. You're not expected to know all of it on day one, but you should expect to be learning how to use most of it within your first 3 months, and you'll also be working across other languages and systems used throughout the company as your role demands.
