Passionate about security and seeking an exciting challenge? Join Qargo as a Security Engineer! Qargo is a cloud-native (SaaS) Transport Management Platform on a mission to modernize the backbone of the global economy. Based in Ghent and London, we are an agile scale-up rapidly expanding across Europe. Our "all-in-one" system handles everything from complex order entry to automated invoicing, utilizing built-in AI to eliminate manual friction. We aren't just building another logistics tool; we’re building a high-performance, sustainable infrastructure for the future of transport. We are looking for a Security Engineer to join our Ghent engineering hub—a role designed for a specialist who values technical ownership and wants to steer the security roadmap of a rapidly scaling platform. As a Security Engineer at Qargo, you will be a key stakeholder in our engineering organization. You’ll own security across the full stack, from hardened cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines to application logic and internal compliance. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will act as the technical authority for our defensive strategy. You will work closely with our engineering and product teams to integrate security into every phase of our development, ensuring that as we scale across Europe, our platform remains resilient and trusted by the largest players in the industry.
Job Responsibility:
Security Strategy: Lead and evolve Qargo’s security roadmap across infrastructure, applications, and internal ecosystems
Engineering Partnership: Partner with development teams to "shift left," embedding security through threat modeling, automated code reviews, and architectural deep-dives
Vulnerability Management: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of vulnerability discovery—from automated scanning and prioritization to hands-on remediation
Cloud & Infrastructure: Design and maintain a secure, least-privilege cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), focusing on IAM, network segmentation, and advanced logging
Security Tooling: Implement and optimize our security stack, including SIEM, EDR, WAF, and secrets management
Incident Response: Drive our incident response capabilities—managing triage, containment, and post-mortem analysis to ensure continuous improvement
Platform Hardening: Secure our Kubernetes clusters, container workloads, and deployment pipelines against modern attack vectors
Compliance & Audits: Support our ISO 27001 and SOC 2 efforts by building scalable, automated compliance workflows
Knowledge Sharing: Create clear security guidelines, runbooks, and playbooks that empower the wider engineering team
Requirements:
Deep understanding of Secure-by-Design principles, defense-in-depth, and the principle of least privilege
Extensive experience in threat modeling and security architecture reviews
A strong grasp of the OWASP Top 10 and common API/application vulnerabilities
Strong Linux and Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP/S)
Hands-on experience securing Public Cloud environments (IAM, VPC, Logging)
Ability to script and automate (Python, Go, or Bash) to scale security operations and reduce manual toil
Proficiency in modern AuthN/AuthZ patterns (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT)
Experience with Kubernetes and container security (image scanning, runtime policies)
Familiarity with securing CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows
Experience working within security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or NIST
A strong mindset for observability, monitoring, and proactive alerting
Pragmatism: The ability to balance robust security with the delivery speed and usability required in a scale-up environment
Communication: Skilled at partnering with engineering teams to solve complex problems collaboratively
Prioritization: Comfortable navigating technical ambiguity and focusing on high-impact security wins
What we offer:
Technical Ownership: The authority to shape the security posture of a major European SaaS platform
Innovation: Work with a modern tech stack in a company that values technical craftsmanship over bureaucracy
Ghent Tech Hub: Be part of a talented, international engineering team based in the heart of Ghent
Scale-up Growth: Opportunities to grow professionally as the company expands its footprint across Europe
Flexible Working: A supportive, hybrid work environment that trusts you to manage your own impact
