Backend Engineer, Security

About the role

As a Security Engineer, you'll cover a broad range of operational and strategic security work rather than a single narrow specialty. In your first few months, you'll focus on learning Eneba's tech stack and understanding how our services and systems fit together. That foundation is essential before you can secure those systems effectively.

Day-to-day, you can expect to:

• Hands-on coding and security implementation work make up the largest part of the role today, alongside incident response and threat-hunting responsibilities.

• Review and triage security submissions and incident reports.

• Evaluate and respond to bug bounty reports, including remediation follow-through

• Build, operate, and improve incident response and remediation processes.

• Write and maintain security policies and documentation.

• Communicate security requirements and risks clearly to non-technical departments

• Review application monitoring and logs to catch and investigate anomalies

• Support access governance and permission-management processes.

About the tech

The tech stack is the same one our backend teams work with. You're not expected to know all of it on day one, but you should expect to be learning how to use most of it within your first 3 months, and you'll also be working across other languages and systems used throughout the company as your role demands.

• Solid PHP knowledge

• Security knowledge, or a clearly demonstrated interest in security (bug bounties, CTFs, security blogs, following the security community)

• A background in IT, backend engineering, or a related technical field

• Self-sufficiency - comfort taking ownership of tasks and making progress without constant guidance.

• Ownership mentality and strong problem-solving skills

• Openness to learning and working across multiple systems, languages, and technologies rather than staying in one lane

Nice to have

• Experience with monitoring tools and application monitoring
