About Codesphere

Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure.

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.

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
