Our mission and why it matters

We’re on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer in every organization.

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities - and traditional awareness training isn’t enough.

As a rapidly growing multi-product company powered by six dedicated product teams, we take a comprehensive approach: combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to create robust security ecosystems. We don't just simulate risks; we build the tools that actively protect real people and organizations every single day.

Why this role matters

Our Threat Security team sits at the core of Hoxhunt’s detection and remediation capabilities.

As a Software Engineer focused on Threat and Email Security, you will build the systems that security operators rely on to analyze threats, remediate inboxes, and keep organizations safe. This is a full-stack role and you’ll work on a product that processes and makes sense of real threats reported by users.

This is a chance to build security products that go beyond simulations and directly shape how security teams detect, investigate, and respond to attacks.

What you’ll own and drive

• Build and deliver robust full-stack solutions, from backend systems to intuitive user interfaces, enabling threat remediation and comprehensive reporting.

• Own your engineering projects end-to-end, bringing a strong product-first mindset to every technical decision you make.

• Collaborate with integration engineers to guarantee a seamless data exchange between our user-facing plugins and the backend infrastructure.

• Partner with the team in product design discussions to ensure we are always solving real user problems.

• Improve team processes, technical excellence, and the overall engineering culture within our group.

• Support both the threat and integration areas flexibly as our team structure continues to evolve.

What success looks like

In your first three months you will learn the core systems, contribute to threat remediation and start improving small parts of how the team works.

By month six you will independently manage projects end to end, contribute meaningfully to the product, and play an active role in improving how the team operates.

What makes you thrive here

You have:

• Strong full stack development skills with Node, TypeScript, and React

• Experience building and delivering SaaS products, ideally in security operations or developer tooling

• A product oriented mindset and a strong focus on solving real user problems

• The ability to navigate ambiguity and take ownership in a lean and fast moving environment

• Comfort working with both new and existing systems

• An AI native mindset with experience or strong interest in building software using agent based systems

• An interest in designing systems where agents can work effectively rather than writing every line of code yourself

• A way of thinking in feedback loops, iteration, and continuous improvement of how software gets built

Bonus points if you also

• Have experience in email security, threat detection, or cybersecurity tools

• Are familiar with Agile practices and structured ways of working

Who you’ll work with:

You will be joining one of our six specialized product teams in a highly collaborative and supportive group that values autonomy alongside cross-functional teamwork. We embrace a product-first and AI-curious mindset, seeing AI as a tool to enhance our creativity and efficiency. You will work alongside engineers and security operators who take initiative, thrive in ambiguity, and are just as passionate about refining how the team works together as they are about what they build.

What you can expect from us

• Compensation: Monthly salary of €5000-6500 depending on your experience.

• 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.

• The perks that matter: Alongside this amazing community, you will enjoy extensive healthcare and our cozy office in Helsinki (complete with a gym and swimming pool!).
