The opportunity 

Urban Sports Club is building a security function that moves with heart and mind. As a Security Engineer you will work across the full security landscape – from application security to cloud runtime to development pipelines and of course AI – bringing genuine breadth alongside real depth in your domain specialisations. 

You will work side-by-side with IT analysts, developers, product managers, and leadership alike to embed security into how we build and operate. You will report to the Director of Cyber Security, with the empowerment and autonomy to shape how security is done across the company.

This role suits those with a builder’s mindset who gets restless without a hard problem to solve, who is excited about the intersection of AI and security, and who communicates as comfortably in a board update as in a pull request review.

What you will do

  • You partner with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to identify and mitigate security risks across our cloud, application, and AI/ML environments
  • You lead security initiatives in your specialist area – whether that is AI/ML Security, DevSecOps, Application/Product Security, or Cloud Security – while staying curious and contributing across different domains
  • You design, build, and operate security controls, automation, and tooling that scale with a fast-growing platform
  • You drive threat modelling, secure design reviews, and risk assessments for new features, services, and infrastructure changes
  • You detect, respond to, and investigate security incidents; own root cause analysis and drive post-incident improvements
  • You translate complex security topics into clear, actionable language for technical and non-technical audiences, including C-level leadership
  • You track the evolving threat landscape, with particular attention to AI/ML attack surfaces and AI-assisted security tooling, bringing those insights back into the business

What you will need to succeed

  • You bring 5+ years of hands-on security engineering (or equivalent) in fast-paced, high-growth environments
  • You have a deep expertise in at least one domain: AI/ML Security, DevSecOps, Application/Product Security, or Cloud Security
  • You bring a strong builder mindset: able to script, automate, write detections, and review architectures/designs
  • You understand modern threats (e.g., AI/ML risks, software supply chain, API and cloud security)
  • You are are an excellent communicator across technical and executive audiences (e.g., engineers to CISO level)
  • You are able to work autonomously, set direction, and thrive in ambiguous, collaborative environments
  • Nice to have: Experience with platform/marketplace products, Kubernetes security in AWS/GCP, EU regulations (GDPR, NIS2, DORA), and scripting (Python, Go)

What’s in it for you 

  • Free Urban Sports Club L Pro Membership + Friends and Family Discount: Stay active with free membership, plus discounts for friends and family.
  • Flexible Work Model: Enjoy a hybrid work setup, balancing on-site and remote work options to fit your lifestyle.
  • Extended Remote Work Options: Work up to 120 days remotely within the EU, the UK, and Switzerland, including 30 days outside the EU. You’ll also have the option to desk-swap at our other European offices.
  • WorkOUT Life Balance: Take advantage of 30 days of paid vacation annually, plus two additional days for volunteering, flexible working hours, and complimentary access to our mental health provider Open Up.
  • Personal Development: Receive an annual budget of €1,000 for professional growth, with regular internal training sessions and weekly German and English language classes.
  • Engaging Team Culture: Participate in regular team and company events along with wellness initiatives that help you stay productive, healthy, and engaged in a hybrid work environment.

Urban Sports Club is committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone who applies for a position or already works with us, regardless of their sports preferences, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion (or lack thereof).
