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 do not just simulate risks. We build the tools that detect and stop them.

Why this role matters

AI is fundamentally changing how modern organizations operate, and we believe autonomous agents will become a core part of how modern teams scale and operate.

As an AI Engineer at Hoxhunt, you will help shape how we use AI internally. Your mission is to design, build, and evolve intelligent agentic systems that automate workflows, solve operational bottlenecks, and unlock entirely new ways of working across our organization.

This is a highly hands-on engineering role focused on real production impact, not experimentation for experimentation’s sake. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders to deeply understand problems, challenge assumptions, and build smarter solutions than what was initially requested.

The space is evolving rapidly, which means we are looking for someone who is genuinely excited about agentic coding, autonomous systems, and AI-native software development. Someone who moves fast, learns constantly, and enjoys exploring better ways to build software altogether.

What you’ll own and drive

• Build intelligent AI agents and automation systems that improve operational efficiency across Hoxhunt.

• Design and develop production-grade applications, integrations, and internal tooling that support agent workflows.

• Partner closely with internal stakeholders to solve operational challenges with scalable technical solutions.

• Continuously explore and adopt new AI tooling, agentic development workflows, and engineering approaches.

• Help shape how Hoxhunt builds and operates AI-native software internally.

What success looks like

In your first three months, you will become highly productive in our environment, shipping automation workflows, integrations, and AI-powered operational improvements that create visible value for internal teams.

By month six, you will independently lead larger automation and agent initiatives end-to-end, helping establish scalable foundations for how AI systems are built and operated across Hoxhunt.

What makes you thrive here

You probably already have a strong software engineering foundation, but more importantly, you are deeply curious about how AI and agentic systems are changing software development itself. We’d love to hear about what you’ve worked on, how it was built, and why it was a success.

You have:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building production-grade systems before or alongside the rise of modern AI tooling.

• Hands-on experience with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or similar AI-native development environments.

• Experience building modern applications, integrations, or platforms using technologies such as TypeScript/Node.js/React or Python.

• Ability to thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments while maintaining structured, high-quality execution.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Curiosity and excitement around AI-native software development, automation, and solving real operational problems through technology.

Who you’ll work with

You’ll be the 3rd member of a highly collaborative and forward-looking team focused on exploring how AI can create real operational leverage across Hoxhunt.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders across our internal teams while partnering with engineers who are actively exploring AI-native ways of building software. The team values curiosity, ownership, fast iteration, and practical impact over rigid processes or hierarchy.

This is a team for people who enjoy experimenting, learning quickly, and constantly rethinking how work should be done.

What you can expect from us

• Compensation: Monthly salary of €5500–€7000 depending on your experience.

• Working ways: We work in a flexible hybrid model with Helsinki as your home base. While we support remote work, we hope you are willing to visit the 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 multi-award-winning 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 and our beautiful office in Helsinki (complete with a gym and swimming pool!).
