Jobbeschreibung

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

• 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

• 30+ vacation days – including Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, adding up to 32 days per year
• Meal allowance – up to 15 digital meal vouchers per month, worth up to €7.67 each

• Gym access – stay active on site (Karlsruhe office only)
• Employee events – from team offsites to regular get‑togethers
