Job description

Join Telavox as a Security Engineering Lead

Are you a hands-on security engineer who enjoys being close to the code, the systems, and the teams building them? At Telavox, security is not a gate at the end of development. It is an embedded capability that enables us to move fast, safely, and at scale.

Telavox is a fast-growing digital telco that combines the reliability of telecom with the agility of SaaS across Europe and across the globe. As our platform grows, security becomes a force multiplier - not just protecting what we build, but actively enabling engineers to ship better and safer software every day.

We are looking for a Security Engineering Lead to join our engineering organisation. In this role, you will sit at the heart of our platform, working embedded across product and platform teams to make security a built-in property of every system we ship.

About the job

As a Security Engineering Lead, you are the engineering execution layer that makes security real across the Platform organisation. You work embedded with product and platform teams - detecting and responding to threats, building tooling that improves security posture at scale, and enabling engineers to own security in their domains.

You bridge the gap between the CISO’s strategic direction and day-to-day engineering reality, turning security goals into concrete engineering outcomes.

Your day-to-day work includes:

• Triage and coordinate responses to emerging threats – assess severity, involve the right teams, and drive issues to resolution
• Own and evolve vulnerability scanning, SAST/DAST, secrets scanning, and infrastructure scanning across code and production systems
• Drive concrete security initiatives such as unified RBAC, network segmentation, and service-to-service security models, from concept to production
• Work directly with engineering teams to translate risk into actionable work in the product development process
• Embed security practices into engineering workflows so teams can ship securely by default

The role is based either at our new HQ in Malmö or in our Stockholm office.

About you

You are a pragmatic, hands‑on security engineer who thrives working deeply in systems and closely with engineering teams. You are comfortable moving between code, infrastructure, and architecture discussions, and you care about making security scalable, practical, and usable.

You believe security works best when it is distributed, automated, and embedded, not bolted on in the end.

You think ahead about what embedded security looks like when engineering is increasingly AI‑augmented — agent credentials, MCP and tool‑use boundaries, and secure‑by‑default workflows for code that humans and models write together.

We are looking for someone with:

• A hands‑on background in software or platform engineering, with real comfort in the terminal – able to run scans, inspect output, and file a PR when needed
• Demonstrated experience with the security tooling landscape: vulnerability management, SAST/DAST, secrets scanning, and infrastructure scanning – understanding trade‑offs, not just installation
• A teaching and enabling mindset – sharing knowledge, running hands‑on deep‑dives, and leaving capability behind rather than creating dependency
• Strong ability to collaborate with engineers and translate security risks into practical engineering work
• Fluent English, written and spoken. Swedish is a plus

Benefits

We offer flexible work options and adaptable hours, giving you the freedom to balance life and career while staying connected to our vibrant Telavox culture.
