# Senior Security Engineer - Company: [Scorewarrior]() - Location: Limassol Cyprus - Team: Platform - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: August 21, 2026 ## Job description ## About Scorewarrior Scorewarrior is an independent game studio with a single mission: to excite and unite players all over the world. For over 10 years we've been pursuing it through Total Battle — a product we continue to actively and successfully grow. We're a team of 230 self-motivated professionals who know and love their craft, and we've recently begun an active company-wide adoption of AI tools. Our home is a great office in Limassol, Cyprus. We offer a strong relocation package for you and your family, and we put real effort into making life on the island genuinely varied and interesting. **Location & format:** Onsite — Limassol, Cyprus **Full relocation support provided** ## The mission of this role This is a hands-on engineering role: you design and implement solutions yourself, working side by side with Infrastructure, DevOps, and development teams. Leadership experience is not required here and not expected. ## Key objectives * **Strengthen cloud and infrastructure security in practice:** secrets management, audit logging and controlled production access. * **Close high-impact risks:** start from an honest assessment of the current state and build a consistent picture of gaps and risks as you go. * **Work secure-by-default:** wherever possible, remove the security burden from teams through automation and platform-level solutions rather than rules and manual procedures. * **Roll up your sleeves:** dive into what Infrastructure, DevOps, and development teams are building right now, understand it from the inside, and make security part of it. ## Job requirements * **Real experience building platform and infrastructure security** — you have designed and implemented security solutions yourself: not audited or monitored them, and you can walk us through the architecture, the decisions, and what you'd do differently. * **Cloud security as your core strength:** Recent hands-on experience securing cloud environments. * **A strong infrastructure background.** You may have grown entirely within security engineering or moved into security from DevOps, SRE, system administration, or network engineering. What matters is that your thinking is an engineer's thinking: architecture first, building over prescribing. * **The ability to explain risks with facts.** You have real cases where you make technical teams see why a risk matters and why a change is needed through evidence, architecture, and concrete scenarios. AppSec, SIEM, and SOC experience are useful but secondary. ## Nice to have * Infrastructure-as-Code in practice. * Container and Kubernetes security experience. * Scripting and automation as a habit: Python, Go, or Bash — you'd rather automate a control than write a procedure for humans to follow. * GCP specifically. Our stack is GCP; deep experience with it will shorten your path to impact, though strong AWS/Azure experience translates well. * Experience with securing AI tool usage. ## Who this role is NOT for We believe in being upfront about fit. This role is probably not for you if: * Your current focus is on monitoring, alert triage and incident analysis. * Your specialization is threat research, malware analysis, cryptography, or lab-style cybersecurity. * Your recent work is mostly paper security: policies, compliance documents, and audits. * You are looking for a management track or ownership of a security function right now — strategy and team building belong to the security leadership role we're hiring separately. ## **Why join Scorewarrior?** * A Great Place to Work. 99% employee satisfaction, low turnover, and colleagues who genuinely enjoy collaborating. * Live and work in sunny Cyprus. We’re an office-first team in Limassol with a modern seaside workspace, and full relocation and visa support for you and your family. * Shape a global hit. We’re the only European studio with a 4X strategy title in the world’s top-10. Our top-50 mobile game has grown 25x in revenue and audience in the last five years. * Grow fast in a company that’s already strong. We’re independent, financially rock-solid, and expanding at startup speed, and we have never had lay-offs. * Work where ideas win. Flat structure, collective decision-making, and honest feedback create full transparency and help you grow fast. * Earn industry-leading rewards. High salaries, a 13th month, performance bonuses, and extra rewards for long service, marriage, or welcoming a child, and lunch every day. * Feel supported at every stage of life. Private family health insurance, plus a monthly allowance for children’s pre-school, school, and university education. * Your growth is our priority. From specialized training and certifications to language courses and books, you’ll have everything you need to keep learning. ## Apply [Apply on Scorewarrior]() Canonical job page:
