SoSafe has the ambition to become the leading human risk management provider in Europe. Our award-winning awareness platform triggers behavioural change by providing effective and engaging training and simulations on cybersecurity and data protection. Cybercrime is costing the world >$10 trillion annually and growing by 15% p.a. – we invite you to be part of the solution!
**Are you a visionary Staff or Principal Engineer**, excited about pushing the boundaries of automation and artificial intelligence deployed across a whole company? We’re seeking an exceptional candidate to join our IT Engineering team to build the foundation for our AI-native future, in one of the industry’s fastest growing SaaS scale-ups.
Things no-one seems to know yet:
– How to make traditional automation & productivity tools consistently useful across a whole business in a post-AI world
– How to balance traditional tools against foundation models and agentic working
– How to enable (and protect) citizen builders to use spec-driven design and self-built AI-agents to *actually* change the organisation, reliably, safely and at scale
We want you to solve these problems.
**Here’s how you’ll make a difference:**
– **Test-bed:** Architect, build and iterate a toolchain fusing traditional automation and productivity tools (n8n, google workspace, etc) with spec-driven design and agentic working, test out on IT and Security
– **Iterate:** Advocate, mentor and enable other early adopter teams to use our platforms, get value, provide feedback, iterate the platform
– **Standardise:** Build self-sustaining cultural practices across the organisation, enable whole departments, scale the platform for everyone
– **Drive the evolution of IT operations** towards an all-encompassing **-as-code* infrastructure model through hands-on architecture and design
– **Contribute to the IT/Sec Operating System** as we move wholesale to build-not-buy teams
– **Mentor and level up** the existing IT engineering team, then whole departments, serving as a technical guide to accelerate skills transfer and foster a strong, ***collaborative*** engineering culture
– **Champion and** ***advocate for*** our shared automation and AI platforms and methodologies, driving cross-departmental adoption to break down operational silos.
**What makes you a great fit:**
– Demonstrated experience operating at a Staff or Principal Engineer level, ideally within an established, successful, cloud-native hypergrowth SaaS environment
– ***Hands-on builder and systems thinker*** – ***A background that includes*** hands-on coding, ideally in a platform or SRE team. IT experience is secondary, we need builders who can help others build better
– **A track record** of successful AI-native adoption, showcasing how you’ve successfully moved workflows beyond experimental prompts into robust, production-grade automated workflows or agents
– **Deep technical mastery** of at least some of: infrastructure-as-code, modern CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions) and enterprise-grade workflow orchestration (e.g., n8n, Zapier)
– **A pragmatic engineering mindset:** You understand that while agentic working is fast and flexible, it brings significant utilization costs; you know how to design hybrid architectures that balance speed with financial efficiency. When faced with a complex problem, you instinctively break it down
– **Great leadership, stakeholder management and communication skills:** The biggest challenge is always people, not technology. You treat internal teams as your customers and excel at explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical “citizen coders” and executive stakeholders alike.
**What you will get in return:**
– A mandate from the CEO to massively accelerate our AI-native transformation in every role, actually solving the AI-related questions that we’re all asking, at speed and scale
– A company comfortable with rapid change and iterative development – We love experiments that fail, as long as we learn from them
– ***Collaborative*** and highly supportive IT and Security team around you – We prize a safe and enjoyable working environment, good work-life balance and solid mental health above all other things
– Close relationships with super-smart, highly engaged peers across G&A, GTM and Product Engineering
**What we offer***
– Work/Life balance: Flexible hours, 33 vacation days
– Wellbeing and financial support: Access to Open Up, corporate discounts
– Connection & community: Virtual events, collaborative team activities, and opportunities for local meet-ups
– And the list goes on: Tech equipment, referral bonuses, dog-friendly HQ
**Perks and benefits listed above are for full-time employees and may vary slightly by office location. These are just a sample — you’ll learn more during the interview process.*
