blueground

At Blueground, our vision is to make people feel at home wherever they choose to live. For us, that means ensuring our guests have the peace of mind, flexibility & confidence they need to explore life’s latest adventure.

We’ve grown a lot since our founding in 2013, having raised more than $258m+ in funding, to date -- and that’s just the beginning. We’re now hosting guests in more than 11,000 homes in 30 cities around the world (and growing!), with an aim to hit 50 cities by 2025.

Our vision comes to life through our ways of working. For our 1,100+ member team located across 16 countries, we’ve created a culture of collaboration, inclusiveness, and opportunity.

We believe our people should have the power to choose their preferred way to work. Depending on the role’s requirements, team members can choose to work full time in one of our offices, work fully remote, or choose a hybrid model between the two.

We are driven by our core values. To our team, Time is our most important resource. Excellence isn’t simply a standard, but an exciting way to look at life. We Care deeply about our guests and colleagues. Our relationships are built around Transparency, which builds trust and improves communication.

We are looking for a talented Information Security Engineer, to join our Engineering team in Athens, and work on building a solid security infrastructure.

You have solid backend engineering skills and are motivated to work in these areas. You’re proactive and have experience collaborating closely with other teams. You have experience in AWS security, audit secrets management, but also security frameworks (NIST, CIS) and Threat modeling. You enjoy crafting simple solutions to complex engineering problems and are able to communicate them to product managers. You’re an independent thinker, but thrive in a tight-knit team. You’re committed to the products you work on. We care much more about your general engineering skills than any prior knowledge of a particular language or framework.

If this describes you, we’d love to chat!

What we are looking for:

• Degree in Computer Science, Computing or Engineering from a top-tier university
• 2 years of relevant working experience in a tech-savvy company
• Knowledge in Kotlin and/or Node.js will be considered a PLUS
• Excellent verbal and written communication in English
• Effective communication skills; ability to work cross functionally
• Strong team-oriented mindset
• Prior experience with operational SIEM and Identity management are all highly valued.

What you'll do

• Implement security tools (SIEM, SOAR)
• Work with engineering teams to offer security perspective in their work
• Conduct threat modeling sessions
• Analyze and prioritize Pen Test and Bug Bounty reports
• Work with IT team in tandem on Network security topics

What to expect

• To add to Information Security development in early stages
• To raise awareness on importance of Application Security
• To influence overall Security posture of the company
• To get your head around a quite big problem domain
• To solve hard problems
• To enjoy some quality engineering
• A rapidly growing company
• Cool colleagues :)

Recruitment Dialogues

• Behavioral Dialogue with Talent Acquisition Team (30m)
• Tech Dialogue 1: Evaluating Coding Skills (90m)
• Information Security Dialogue : Information Security tabletop (45 min)
• Executive Dialogue (optional): Leadership and Power Skills (30m)

What to expect at the technical dialogue?

You will be called to have a long discussion with your future team members. This discussion will cover many things from CS fundamentals to latest coding trends. So we encourage you to do a quick refresh on topics like data structures, algos and runtime complexity as well as core concepts of your primary language (e.g. Java or Python). We will also try to tackle some real-world software design problems together as we do every other day. It may sound scary but it's really not. We want you to succeed.
