About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer who thinks like a product architect and codes like a software engineer. At Veeam Kasten, we release market-leading Kubernetes data protection software, which makes security critical to safeguarding our customers' environments and data. This role ensures security is embedded throughout the lifecycle, not just as a gate at the end. You will partner with engineering teams during the whiteboard phase to design secure features and dive into the codebase to find and fix vulnerabilities.
Your Impact
Design & Architecture: You will be the primary security voice in design reviews. You will perform threat modeling on new features, identifying architectural risks before a single line of code is written
Code-Level Security: You will actively review Pull Requests and conduct deep-dive code audits. You won't just run scanners; you will manually analyze logic in our code to find complex flaws that automated tools miss
Vulnerability Remediation: unlike traditional security roles that only "report" bugs, you will help fix them. You will triage findings from our tooling and write production-ready patches to resolve vulnerabilities
Secure Software Supply Chain: You will oversee the integrity of our build dependencies, ensuring that the open-source libraries we import (and the tools we use to build them) are secure
What You’ll Do
Triage and fix security alerts from tools like Grype, Cycode, and Wiz

Developer DNA: You are a competent developer in Go (Golang) and have exposure to modern frontend frameworks like Vue.js.
Kubernetes Native: Youʼve worked extensively with Kubernetes and understand itʼs security primitives.
Shift-Left Mindset: You have experience integrating security into the early stages of the Software Development Life Cycle.
Tooling Familiarity: Experience with modern AppSec and Supply Chain tools (specifically Grype, Cycode, and Wiz) is a strong plus.
Pragmatism: You can balance theoretical security perfection with the practical reality of shipping software on a continuously frequent basis.
