Let's start with why Secfix exists
Today over 1.78 million of small and medium-sized businesses in Europe alone need to be compliant with information security frameworks to be able to sell their products and services to enterprise customers.
Secfix automates security compliance for SMBs in Europe. We help SMBs automate ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, and SOC 2 in weeks instead of months. Our platform integrates with a company’s tech stack (like AWS, Azure AD, Jira, etc.), automatically extracts the data needed for compliance, and creates a checklist to become and remain compliant.
We grew fast and are looking for skilled engineers to help us improve and scale our product.
Secfix is an early-stage fully remote startup in the best sense of the word. We’re a fun, close-knit team on a mission to become the European compliance automation leader.
We grew from 0 revenue to >1M$ ARR within two years and most of our costs are already covered by revenue. Now we are looking to grow further and faster.
Our trajectory is backed by top investors (4.4M$ raised), including Octopus Ventures, Neosfer (Commerzbank), founders of Signavio and many more angels.
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will help shape and build every product we deliver to real customers: CTOs, COOs and engineering teams of small and medium businesses. You will also be part of growing a high-performance fully remote software startup.
We're building an environment at Secfix where ambitious, independent engineers can thrive. We want to grow with people who take pride on building actual products, who are curious about how the features we ship are used daily to solve real challenges, and who'll use their in-depth engineering insights to push the envelope on what we can achieve together. We own products and outcomes, not Jira tickets.
We understand that startup life can be demanding, but we believe it doesn’t have to be stressful. Bring your commitment and drive to grow, and we’ll deliver an environment that keeps you happy, healthy, and empowered to do your best work with us.
You should apply if:
You’re ambitious, independent and growth-oriented
You’re comfortable with startup life ambiguity, adapting to changing priorities based on customer and market feedback, and wearing multiple hats
You bring senior talent to our team with 4+ years of equivalent experience
You’re comfortable collaborating and communicating in a remote environment, especially in writing and with Loom. You understand that working independently doesn't mean working alone. Remember, it requires more pro-active communication than working in the office
You can mentor other developers and do code reviews.
You know how to balance speed and quality and how to build leverage in your work through automation, abstractions and good software design and architecture
You should not apply if:
You need a lot of processes to tell you what to do or you're comfortable only picking up tickets from a JIRA board
You only want to write code and don’t really care about the bigger picture and customers
You don’t want to test, deploy, monitor and troubleshoot your own code
You don’t want to lead your own projects, but rather be led by someone else
You don't want to collaborate closely with other areas of the business or engage with users when needed
You’ll be the go-to person for all things backend in your product area
You’ll work closely with the CTO and the Tech Lead to set technical direction
You’ll work closely with our product and design teams and with our customers to identify, plan, design, build and ship features on schedule
You’ll deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, debug, support, maintain and evolve features and code under your responsibility
You’ll own and maintain product and technical documentation
You’ll support other team members on your area of expertise, mentor and develop junior engineers
You’ll follow company's culture and communication guidelines
