Your Role

As a Security Engineer, you’ll own application security for a fast-growing AI companionship platform. This is a hands‑on AppSec role: you’ll review code, find real vulnerabilities and drive fixes across the stack. You’ll be the main security person in the company, reporting directly to our CTO and Co-Founder. You’ll set direction yourself and explain risk clearly to non‑security colleagues. Our product includes AI‑generated content, including NSFW content, and you’ll also keep an eye on AI‑specific threats like prompt injection. Real ownership from day one.

This isn’t an infrastructure, networking or DevSecOps role: we’re looking for application security depth.

Key Responsibilities

Application security (the core of the role)

Review code every week to catch vulnerabilities before they ship

Find, prioritize and drive fixes for real vulnerabilities across the stack, not surface‑level issues

Audits and pentests

Coordinate external security audits and penetration tests

Challenge findings where needed, and follow them through to fixes

Engineering and automation

Automate security work and build the tools you need to scale it

Use AI tools daily in your security work: code review, pentests and scripting

Ownership and communication

Own security end to end with little support, and decide what matters most

Explain technical risk in plain words to the team and leadership

Cover security alerts, including occasional night and weekend on‑call

Also part of the role (lighter)

Keep a simple risk register and GRC documentation up to date

Share security updates with the team and run awareness training

Watch emerging AI threats (prompt injection, jailbreaks, content filter bypass) and incidents at our AI providers

Your Qualifications

Must-haves

2+ years of hands‑on security experience

Hands‑on AppSec, not compliance only: you review code regularly and can walk us through a real vulnerability you found and fixed

Audits and pentests: you’ve coordinated an external audit or pentest and followed the findings through to fixes

Engineering workflows: you ship code with Git/GitHub, script in Python or Bash, and have recent hands‑on work on a modern web stack (e.g. Rails, Node; GCP, Heroku or similar)

Ownership with little support: you’ve been the sole or lead security person, or owned a security area on your own. You’ve reviewed code or tested systems every week in the last 2 years, and you explain risk clearly to non‑technical people

AI in your daily work: you use AI tools every day in your security work

A hacker mindset: You love breaking things to make them safer, and security isn’t only your job: you do it for fun too, through bug bounties, CTFs, research, write‑ups or your own tools.

Nice‑to‑haves

AI/LLM security testing (prompt injection, jailbreaking): a strong plus

Experience at an AI company or a scale‑up

Familiarity with MDM and access management

Soft Skills

Strong communication & collaborative skills (perfectly fluent in English)

Goal‑orientated, ownership and commitment

Doer mindset - we are moving fast and we need people who can find the right balance between executing, planning and strategy

Humble - willing to learn, open to feedback

you are comfortable working in an environment with products that are based on uncensored models and content
