You will work closely with experienced engineers across our Platform, Infrastructure, and Security teams, gaining hands-on experience while helping protect our systems and improve our security posture. Along the way, you will develop practical skills in cloud security, automation, infrastructure-as-code, and security operations.

At SEON, we believe great engineers come from many backgrounds. If you are passionate about security and eager to learn, we encourage you to apply—even if you don’t meet every single requirement listed below.

This role offers flexibility and will be based in Budapest with a hybrid schedule including occasional travel to our other offices.
