🎯 The Role

The PSI (Platform, Security & Infrastructure) team is looking for a Senior Security Engineer to own the security of Flexport's corporate environment: endpoints, identity systems, internal networks, and the SaaS estate. This is a security engineering role, not an IT support role, and not a role where you write policies and hope for the best. You'll build, automate, and be on the ground when things get real.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Own and mature our endpoint security stack (EDR) across macOS and Windows fleets, writing device policy as code — configuration profiles, remediation scripts, and enforcement rules — with staged rollout and rollback built in.
• Own security configuration and monitoring for Flexport's critical SaaS applications (Google Workspace, Slack, and similar) through SSPM tooling, catching risky OAuth grants and configuration drift before they become incidents.
• Drive Flexport's identity posture: SSO coverage, phishing-resistant MFA and passkey rollout, SCIM lifecycle automation, and least-privilege access across the SaaS and cloud estate.
• Lead Flexport's zero-trust journey — making sure the right people have the right access, with the right controls, verified continuously.
• Build and tune detection rules in our SIEM, turning signal into actionable alerts, not noise.
• Lead incident response for security events: triage, contain, remediate, and write the retrospective.
• Run regular assessments of corporate endpoints and prioritize findings by real business risk.
• Manage vendor and third-party security reviews, working with procurement and legal to evaluate risk before it lands in our environment.
• Partner with IT, Engineering, and People teams to embed security into the way we work without creating friction that drives people to workarounds.
• Develop and maintain runbooks, playbooks, and internal documentation that make the whole team more capable, and mentor engineers earlier in their career.
• Bring a point of view on how agentic AI tools and browser-based AI assistants change what corporate security needs to watch for.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Typically 5–8 years of experience in enterprise security, corporate IT security, or information security engineering — we care more about what you've built than the exact number. If you meet most of this, apply.
• Strong working knowledge of endpoint security tooling: DLP (Cyberhaven, Purview, Varonis, or similar) and EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or similar).
• Practical SIEM experience, writing detection logic, triaging alerts, and reducing false positive noise.
• Experience leading or playing a significant role in security incident response.
• Working knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with network security in a cloud-first environment (ZTNA, SASE, DNS filtering).
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform) for security configuration management.
• Familiarity with SCIM, OIDC, and fine-grained authorization at scale.
• Experience working in a high-growth, global technology company.
• Scripting skills in Python, Bash, or similar, for automating detection, response, and operational tasks.
• Exposure to privacy regulations relevant to a European and global context (GDPR, etc.).

🎁 Benefits

• An opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest-growing companies, where you'll have the chance to create a global impact while being part of a thriving multinational environment.
• Daily catered lunches incl. vegetarian options, breakfast, snacks and soft drinks available in our office on a daily basis.
• Commute expenses: Flexport will cover home-office commuting costs for employees living outside of Amsterdam.
• 25 working days as vacation days based on full-time employment.
• Health insurance: Flexport offers a collective health insurance plan including a basic package and any available additional packages. Your monthly premium is fully paid by Flexport.
• A defined pension contribution scheme.
• Equity program: every team member becomes a shareholder, aligning our success with yours. As a private company in a multi-trillion dollar industry, you have a direct stake in our collective growth and success.
• Employee Assistance Program through Aetna Resources for Living: Flexport provides an employer-sponsored program at no cost to you and your household members.
• Parental leave benefit: Flexport is here to support you and your family during one of the most important times in life — the birth of a child. Our parental leave program allows both mothers and partners to take time off from work for pregnancy, childbirth, and to bond with your new child.

🛂 Visa & Eligibility

• We sponsor visas for the right candidate.
