Security Engineer

Security Engineering at Helsing sits at the intersection of deep technical expertise, adversarial thinking, and real-world impact. You'll work across the full breadth of our technology — from cloud infrastructure to applications, identity systems, and products — identifying and reducing the security risks that matter most. The systems we build and the data we handle demand a security posture that is rigorous, adaptive, and deeply embedded in everything we do. You'll directly shape our ability to earn and maintain the trust of partners, customers, and the public, while ensuring our teams can build and ship with confidence. At Helsing, where the stakes of what we build are unusually high, this work is central to delivering on our mission responsibly.

The day-to-day:

• Identify, assess, and prioritise security risks across our systems, products, and infrastructure - distinguishing between theoretical concerns and material threats to the business.
• Design and implement practical security controls across cloud platforms, applications, products, and data - and guide engineering teams in doing the same.
• Develop and apply threat models to surface architectural risks, trust boundary issues, and failure modes before they become incidents.
• Partner with engineering, product, and operational teams as a trusted security adviser - providing patterns, guidance, and guardrails rather than one-off approvals or blockers.
• Contribute to the detection, investigation, and containment of security incidents, and drive systemic improvements from what we learn.
• Reduce manual and reactive security work by building automation, improving tooling.
