Senior/Lead Security Engineer (Europe/Americas)

Overview

Senior/Lead Security Engineer (Europe/Americas) at Mimica Mimica's mission is to empower enterprises, teams, and individuals to reclaim their most precious resource — time and work more efficiently, with greater purpose and impact. Our AI-powered task mining observes employee actions across the desktop and categorizes them into detailed process maps. Mimica’s process intelligence highlights inefficiencies, prioritizes improvements based on ROI, recommends the optimal technology for automation (RPA, intelligent document processing, GenAI), and provides a blueprint for building new automations and transforming work. What You’ll Do Day-to-Day

Lead the build-out and operation of core security capabilities: vulnerability management, patching, SIEM/logging, cloud security monitoring, and alert triage. Deploy, configure, and tune security tooling (scanners, WAFs, CSPM, SIEM, endpoint protection). Partner with engineering to build security with developer experience in mind. Triage and assess vulnerabilities, drive remediation prioritisation, and reduce risk in a pragmatic yet rigorous way. Design and implement tactical incident-response playbooks and improve detection coverage. Periodically review major architectural changes and guide engineering on secure design trade-offs. Continuously improve processes so security scales as the company grows. Who We’re Looking For

Senior-level experience (typically 5+ years) 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, especially in GCP (big plus), AWS, or Azure. Experience preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP. Deep expertise in one or ideally several of the following: vulnerability management programs, cloud-native SIEM/logging, CSPM/CNAPP tools, IaC security, secure SDLC integration, and incident response. Strong communication skills - you can explain complex risks or trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Nice to Have

OSCP, CISSP, or similar offensive/security certifications; Experience in a successful startup/scale-up. Note: Some benefits may vary depending on location and role. On company equipment: Company-issued equipment (e.g. laptops) is provided for work use and must be returned upon departure, unless otherwise agreed. Seniority level
