About Codesphere
Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders.

We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀
About the Role
Codesphere runs cloud infrastructure that enterprises and governments depend on – security is not an afterthought, it's a foundation.

- Manage security scanning tooling (DAST/SAST) and perform security code reviews
- Design and implement security controls across our full technology stack, defining and enforcing standards for development, infrastructure, and data
- Integrate security into our CI/CD pipelines and development processes – Shift Left and DevSecOps in practice, not just on paper
- Develop and maintain our Security Incident Response Plan, monitor security logs via SIEM, and lead forensic analysis when needed
- Ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations – including GDPR and ISO 27001
- Manage IAM systems with a least privilege approach
- Develop and deliver security awareness training for the whole company – and specialized secure coding training for engineering teams
