Description

Talon.One is hiring one of its first two security engineering hires to own the security of everything shipped to customers and third-party partners, from API authorization to AI features, on a multi-tenant platform powering promotions and loyalty for major European retail and travel brands. The role is hands-on, pairing directly with engineers and product managers to threat-model new features, own tenant isolation and API security across the Rule Engine and integration APIs, and act as security design authority for AI features. Responsibilities also include building automated cross-tenant and adversarial testing in CI, running vulnerability and patch response, and building application and AI security monitoring and detection. The role is based in Berlin on a hybrid basis.

Requirements

  • Experience shipping production code, whether from a software engineering or security background that includes coding
  • Experience with a multi-tenant SaaS platform's authorization and tenant isolation model, and strong knowledge of testing for broken object-level authorization automatically
  • Ability to design API security end-to-end: authentication, credential lifecycle, rate limiting, abuse resistance, and webhook security
  • Hands-on experience with threat-modelling methodologies such as STRIDE, translating threats into engineering requirements and security tests
  • Practical experience implementing and tuning SAST and DAST tools in CI/CD workflows
  • Understanding of how AI features are built (retrieval, context assembly, tool calling, agent loops) and where indirect prompt injection breaks multi-tenant isolation
  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud security, Kubernetes, and tools like Wiz and Datadog
  • Ability to build in-house security monitoring and detection tools (SIEM), from signal design through tuning and runbook writing
  • Strong knowledge of OWASP security guidance, including the OWASP Top 10, API Security Top 10, and Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications
  • Ability to influence engineers outside direct reporting lines and be comfortable being early in a function with no existing playbook
