## Job description

## About Codesphere

Codesphere is a *Virtual Cloud Provider* from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders.

Since our founding in Karlsruhe in 2020, we’ve expanded into an international team of 60+ experts. Based in Karlsruhe and Munich and backed by top-tier investors, we are chasing a bold vision.

**We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀**

## About the role

Codesphere runs cloud infrastructure that enterprises and governments depend on – security is not an afterthought, it's a foundation. As a **Senior Security & Compliance Engineer (m/f/d)**, you own the security posture of our platform: from vulnerability management and incident response to compliance frameworks and developer enablement.

## What you'll drive

* You conduct security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning – and drive remediation with development teams
* You manage security scanning tooling (DAST/SAST) and perform security code reviews
* You design and implement security controls across our full technology stack, defining and enforcing standards for development, infrastructure, and data
* You integrate security into our CI/CD pipelines and development processes – Shift Left and DevSecOps in practice, not just on paper
* You develop and maintain our Security Incident Response Plan, monitor security logs via SIEM, and lead forensic analysis when needed
* You ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations – including GDPR and ISO 27001
* You manage IAM systems with a least privilege approach
* You develop and deliver security awareness training for the whole company – and specialised secure coding training for engineering teams

## What makes you a great fit

* 5+ years in a security engineering or similar role, ideally in a cloud or SaaS environment
* Hands-on experience with penetration testing, vulnerability management, and DAST/SAST tooling
* Solid understanding of DevSecOps principles and CI/CD security integration
* Familiarity with SIEM tools, incident response, and forensic analysis
* Knowledge of relevant compliance frameworks – GDPR, ISO 27001, and ideally BSI IT-Grundschutz
* Strong communicator – able to translate security risks into clear guidance for both technical and non-technical audiences
* Fluent in English; German is a strong plus given the nature of our compliance landscape

## What's in it for you

* 32 days of paid time off – *30 regular vacation days plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off*
* Meal allowance – *up to 15 digital vouchers per month, adding up to over €100 net for you*
* Flexibility – *hybrid work setup with mobile work options and flexibility around core hours*
* Steep learning curve – *fast-moving environment, real ownership, and a front-row seat to scaling a company*
* Job-Rad – *lease a bike through us, tax-free*
* Gym access – *stay active on site (Karlsruhe office only)*
* Employee events – *from team offsites to regular get-togethers*
* Company pension scheme – *company-supported pension to set you up for later*
* Great public transport links – *both offices are within walking distance of tram and metro stops*
