To make general contractors successful.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of hands-on security engineering, including several years owning application and cloud security for a production SaaS platform end to end
- A track record of building security programs — SDLC, vulnerability management, detection and response — not just operating tools someone else set up
- Expert-level understanding of vulnerability classes and attack techniques well beyond the OWASP Top 10: you can threat-model a new feature, spot the subtle authz flaw in review, and explain the exploit path to the engineer who wrote it
- Deep experience hardening cloud infrastructure at scale (AWS ideally, GCP or Azure fine): IAM, network segmentation, container security, security-as-code — designed by you, not inherited
- Strong software engineering skills — you write production-quality code, build automation from scratch, and hold your own in architecture discussions with senior engineers
- Proven incident response leadership: you've been the technical lead when things went wrong
- The judgment to make risk-based calls under ambiguity, and the influence to get teams to act on them without formal authority
- Excellent English; German is a plus. Willingness to be on-site 3 days per week in Munich or Berlin
- Nice to have: building up a security function in a scale-up, detection engineering, ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certification experience, certs like OSCP or CISSP (valued, but hands-on skills matter more)
What the job involves
- Capmo is the digital partner on construction sites, with over 100k projects delivered faster and more successfully with the help of our platform
- We enable architects, engineers, project managers and contractors to collaborate efficiently and run lean and optimized projects
- We are one of the fastest-growing B2B SaaS companies in Europe and stay true to our mission of making hard things in construction feel easy
- Thousands of project managers run their construction sites on Capmo every day — which means our customers trust us with data that is critical to their business
- Keeping that trust is the job you'd own
- Help us continue to revolutionize the industry!
- Find out more about us and come join us in our engineering hubs in Berlin and Munich
- As a Senior Security Engineer at Capmo, you will get to:
- Own product and cloud security end to end — threat modeling, security reviews, secure-by-default patterns, and the tooling in our CI/CD pipelines (SAST, dependency and container scanning, secret detection) that keeps findings from piling up
- Harden our AWS infrastructure: IAM architecture, network segmentation, encryption, logging, workload security — and encode the baselines as policy-as-code instead of a wiki page nobody reads
- Build our detection and response capability from the ground up, and be the technical lead when something actually happens — from detection through containment to the post-incident review
- Own our vulnerability disclosure and pentest programs, and drive remediation with the product teams rather than filing tickets and hoping
- Back our compliance work (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR) with real technical controls and evidence, and support customer security reviews together with Sales
- Shape the direction of security at Capmo as a hands-on senior IC — building guardrails that engineers adopt because they're good, not because they're mandated
Our take
For construction companies in need of a digital operating system for their projects, they are often forced to use archaic and complex tools. Capmo is a German SaaS company that has built a new cloud-based operating system that simplifies the complex daily tasks of construction.
Capmo’s major draw is its cloud-based build. This makes it easier for different sectors of a construction project to collaborate and coordinate. Capabilities of the platform include documenting defects, scheduling, and note taking, saving teams time on now-automated tasks.
Capmo’s system is part of a larger push to digitise the construction industry, meaning it has plenty of competitors. However, the company’s significant funding and strong client list indicate that it is a major player with the potential for continued success.
