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 from 0 revenue to >1M$ ARR within two years and are looking for skilled engineers to help us improve and scale our product. Check our culture guide.
Why you should join Secfix
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 automate security and compliance for modern companies and become the European compliance automation leader. We rapidly grew from just three founders to 20 people in less than 2 years after founding.
Your work will significantly impact our tech product used by CTOs, engineering teams, COOs and the whole team will celebrate your wins.
In comparison to many startups we are growing the team at a healthy rate and there is a balance between fast growth and maintaining our runway as we scale. Most of our costs are already covered by revenue.
With new challenges (we're looking to 2x the team next year), you're assured of growth and progress. Our trajectory is fueled by top investors, including Octopus Ventures, Neosfer (Commerzbank), founders of Signavio and many more angels.
Who are we looking for?
At Secfix, we're offering the most unconventional role we’ve ever hired for—a unique opportunity for an ambitious, independent engineer to own a new product area. You’ll build cross‑platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) security monitoring desktop apps and their backend infrastructure, where rapid learning and exceptional problem-solving skills are valued far more than years of experience.
In this role, you’ll shape a product from scratch, experiment boldly with the latest technologies, and tackle deep OS-level challenges. Bring your commitment and drive, and we’ll provide an environment that keeps you happy, ambitious, and empowered to do your best work.
You should apply if:
-
You’re ambitious, independent, and growth-oriented—an extraordinary problem solver who wants ownership of a quickly growing product.
-
Learning new things quickly and applying them to ship real solutions end-to-end is your superpower; you have side projects or academic achievement that prove it.
-
You enjoy digging into OS-level details, whether building custom tools, debugging kernel modules, or working with device-management APIs.
-
You have great written and oral communication skills, especially in English and are excited to talk to users to solve real problems.
-
You have strong engineering fundamentals, code efficiently, and you know what you're great at and what you're less great at.
-
You thrive when you have autonomy, own as many of the details as possible, and project manage your own work.
-
You’re comfortable collaborating and communicating in a remote environment, especially in writing and on video calls. You understand that working remotely doesn't mean working alone. Remember, it requires more pro-active communication than working in the office.
What you’ll do day-to-day:
-
You’ll pioneer building a next generation security monitoring desktop apps from scratch alongside our Senior Software Engineers who built the initial osquery product that served us last 2 years. You’ll own cross-platform desktop app development for Windows, macOS, Linux in Go and TypeScript. You’ll shape the product roadmap alongside our CTO and Tech Lead.
-
You’ll quickly learn and become the expert in all-things-MDM and operating systems at Secfix.
-
You’ll tackle deep technical OS-level troubleshooting for device management like an owner and solve real customer-impacting issues in our production environment, ensuring a smooth experience for our users. You’ll be first one to dig into system logs, find solution to cross-platform issues, and respond to technical customer questions.
-
You’ll collaborate across teams: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to ensure that each feature truly empowers users. You’ll occasionally contribute to a React UI or wrap apps in Electron or Tauri — though deep Electron expertise isn’t required.
Experience that you will bring:
-
1+ year of TypeScript/JavaScript and the first professional Go experience as backend or fullstack.
-
Proficient in writing advanced SQL queries.
-
0.5-1.5 years of software engineering experience in top tier tech companies (FAANG, Uber, Atlassian or similar) or hedge funds (Towers Research, DE Shaw or similar). Internships also count.
Nice-to-have:
-
You can demonstrate exceptional drive - you were top 1% of your class academically or built notable side projects—looking to prove yourself in a high-impact role.
-
Experience in SaaS companies.
-
Experience with Redis and Docker.
-
Experience building, deploying, and operating production APIs.
-
Experience building React UI component libraries.
-
First experience or interest in OS-related development (Electron, osquery, Tauri, etc.).
Our Technology Stack
-
MDM Product (your focus): TypeScript, Go, osquery. Occasional React/Electron/Tauri/Rust
-
Frontend: Typescript, Angular, Ngrx, Tailwind, Material UI
-
Backend: Java SpringBoot, Postgresql, Hibernate
-
Infrastructure: AWS with ECS
-
Tools: Gitlab CI/CD, Figma, Slack, Notion, Gather.town, ClickUp
