Senior Software Engineer, New product, Human Risk, Full-stack

Job description

## **Our mission and why it matters** We are on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer. Human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities and traditional awareness training is not enough. We take a different approach by combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to actively protect people and organizations. We don't just simulate risks. We build the tools that detect and stop them. # **Why this role matters** This is a key role in building Hoxhunt's new product, helping organizations to see, understand, and act on human risks. **Your mission**: make risk insights clear and actionable. You'll ship new features and improve parts that matter the most - APIs, high-throughput event processing pipeline, a flexible data visualization system and a powerful automation builder. # **What you’ll own and drive** Features are shipped end-to-end, together. Team own defining scope and architecture, building it and ensuring code runs smooth in production. Lead the architecture and development of our systems. Raise the bar around you through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing. Tech stack: TypeScript/Node.js, AlloyDB/PostgreSQL, GraphQL, React, GCP. Decide what to build by understanding the user problem and the business impact. Evaluate tradeoffs and use real data to iterate. # **What success looks like** In the first 90 days, you have shipped important features end-to-end and you're influencing product and technical decisions. By month six, you own one or more subsystems, defining the technical direction, what we build next, what we stop doing, what we invest in. # **What makes you thrive here** Full-stack engineer who's shipped scalable products end-to-end and moves comfortably between frontend and backend as the work demands. You connect what you build to why it matters for users and for the business. Likely 5+ years of experience, but we care more about what you've built than the number. Fluent in TypeScript, Node.js, and SQL databases or other similar technologies. Genuinely care about the product and its users. Under ambiguity, you’ll collaborate with the whole team to figure out the right things rather than wait for a spec. Experience with AI coding tools, or you're interested in building the setup that makes them effective. **Bonus points if you also:** - Experience with GraphQL, React architecture or event-driven architecture. - Hands-on experience GCP, e.g. Pub/Sub or BigQuery # **Who you’ll work with** You will be joining a small, mission-driven, and highly autonomous product team: six engineers, one designer, one PM. We own the new product end-to-end. We want ship fast in small increments: something a customer can use now, then iterate. # **What you can expect from us** - **Compensation**: The monthly compensation range for this position is €6,000-7,500 / month depending on your experience. You may notice varying salary ranges for roles with similar titles across Hoxhunt; this is because each range is grounded in our role leveling and reflects the seniority, scope, and impact expectations required for that specific role and team, and we operate with a low hierarchy. - **Working ways**: We work in a flexible, but hybrid work setting. You are expected to visit the Helsinki office weekly. - **High performance meets high humanity**: We bring an incredibly driven, high-impact energy to our work, but we leave our egos at the door. You will be surrounded by wildly talented, dedicated colleagues in an environment built on extreme kindness, support, and psychological safety. - **Authentic trust & autonomy**: We hire great people and trust them to do great work. You will find a culture free of micromanagement, giving you the autonomy to take real ownership, drive impact, and shape things early on. - **A product you can be proud of:** It is incredibly rare in cybersecurity to build a product that end-users genuinely love. You will join a fast-paced, technically sophisticated team making a real, measurable impact against cybercrime, backed by strong financial stability and growth. - **The perks that matter:** Alongside this amazing community, you will enjoy extensive healthcare with other benefits and our beautiful office in Helsinki (complete with a gym and swimming pool!). # **Recruitment Process** We want to get to know you and how you think! Our process includes: 1. TA Screening Call (30 min). 2. Hiring Manager interview (60 min). 3. Take-home assignment (max 6 hours, in your own time). 4. Panel interview at the office (90 min). 5. Executive interview (60 min). 6. Reference checks and final offer. ## **About Hoxhunt** Hoxhunt was founded in 2016 by four visionaries.
