Join to apply for the Security engineer role at Bending Spoons
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform—which comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. Then, we invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful, and into acquiring new businesses. Thus, our strategy sees us combine an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands‑on approach of an operator.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
Responsibilities

Run security audits, identifying security loopholes and opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of security strategies.
Perform internal vulnerability testing, uncovering any weaknesses in the systems and implementing countermeasures to ensure the integrity of all data.
Identify company‑wide security challenges. Design and implement solutions to strengthen protection and streamline security practices across IT and infrastructure areas.
Collaborate closely with privacy experts to ensure the most robust and complete privacy compliance strategy possible, and to translate regulations into tech implementations.
Stay up to date with security trends and threats. Share knowledge with Spooners to ensure data protection best practices and help foster a security‑focused culture across the company.

Qualifications

Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist biases, and take care of the details that matter.
Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do, and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match that ambition. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.

Benefits

Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
