Software Security Backend Engineer

Project overview

At Mindbox we connect top IT talents with technology projects for leading enterprises across Europe.

Join our client's team, where you'll play a key role in shaping a next-generation Software Security platform at one of the world's leading global financial institutions. Your contribution will help deliver high-impact solutions in cybersecurity – open-source, cloud-native security services built in-house and running at enterprise scale.

You'll step in as a Software Security Engineer – Backend, working closely with cross-functional agile teams in the Security space to drive technical delivery and best-in-class design and code. Your role will be central to moving away from high-cost vendor platforms toward open-source, cloud-native solutions with a high degree of automation – not just execution.

Sounds like your kind of challenge?
