Shape the Future of Security at Mimica: We're Hiring a Security Engineer!
At Mimica, we're on a mission to empower enterprises by reclaiming their most valuable resource: time. Our AI-powered task mining solution observes employee actions, transforming them into detailed process maps. We highlight inefficiencies, prioritize improvements based on ROI, and recommend optimal automation technologies (RPA, IDP, GenAI). We're essentially providing the blueprint for building new automations and revolutionizing how work gets done.
Ready to Build a Security Program from the Ground Up?
We're a fast-growing scale-up seeking a talented and driven Security Engineer to join our InfoSec team. This is a unique opportunity to own critical security initiatives end-to-end, working closely with our Engineers to fortify our cloud-native SaaS platform and dramatically improve our security posture.
This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where you'll have the freedom to build and deploy scalable security processes in a dynamic environment. If you're a self-starter with a passion for security and a desire to make a real difference, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
What You'll Be Doing:
Lead the design, implementation, and operation of core security capabilities, including vulnerability management, patching, SIEM/logging, cloud security monitoring, and alert triage.
Deploy, configure, and fine-tune security tooling such as vulnerability scanners, WAFs, CSPM, SIEM, and endpoint protection solutions.
Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security into the developer workflow, fostering a security-conscious culture.
Triage and assess vulnerabilities, driving remediation prioritization and reducing risk with a pragmatic and rigorous approach.
Design and implement tactical incident response playbooks, enhancing detection coverage and streamlining response efforts.
Periodically review major architectural changes, providing expert guidance on secure design trade-offs.
Continuously improve security processes to ensure scalability and effectiveness as the company grows.
What You'll Bring to the Table:
5+ years of senior-level experience in security engineering or SecOps, with a strong preference for hands-on roles in startup or scale-up environments.
Proven ability to independently deploy and manage cloud security solutions, particularly in GCP (a significant plus), AWS, or Azure.
Deep expertise in one or more of the following areas: vulnerability management programs, cloud-native SIEM/logging, CSPM/CNAPP tools, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security, secure SDLC integration, and incident response.
A strong understanding of developer experience and how to integrate security seamlessly into the development process.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex risks and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Bonus Points:
OSCP, CISSP, or similar offensive/security certifications.
Experience preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP audits.
Location:
This is a fully remote position. We welcome applications from candidates based anywhere in the UK, the Americas, or Western Europe within a UTC-6 to UTC+1 timezone.
If you've ever thought, "I could build a much better security program than what I'm seeing right now," this is your chance to prove it. Join us and help shape the future of security at Mimica!
We're excited to hear from you! 🚀
