Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- SoSafe aims to become the leading provider of human risk management in Europe. Our award-winning awareness platform drives behavioral change by offering effective and engaging training and simulations on cybersecurity and data protection.
- Are you a visionary Staff 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.
- Architect, build and iterate a toolchain fusing traditional automation tools (n8n, etc) with spec-driven design and agentic working, test out on IT and Security.
- Advocate, mentor, and enable other early adopter teams to use our platforms, derive value, provide feedback, and iterate the platform.
- 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.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- 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 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.
Experience
- 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.

What we offer
- 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.

- 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.
