The Research and Development team is the beating heart of the Group's innovation. We are constantly committed to researching and developing new technologies and solutions to anticipate market needs and exceed our customers' expectations. We invest significantly in artificial intelligence (AI), exploring its potential to develop innovative solutions and improve our products and services​.

Join an agile team where you can enhance your technical skills by participating in challenging and scalable projects in the field of software development.​

In a fast-paced development environment focused on growth and innovation, you will be responsible for translating requirements into code to create, improve and maintain high-quality software.​

In particular, you will:

• Drive the continuous improvement of the organization’s application security maturity, defining a structured and scalable approach to secure software development across teams and products.
• Define, measure, and track key security KPIs related to vulnerability management processes (e.g. detection, remediation, exposure time), providing visibility on risk and progress over time.
• Lead application security initiatives across the organization, implementing security-by-design principles from the early stages of development;
• Contribute to the definition and evolution of security controls and practices, maintaining alignment with internal standards, regulatory requirements, and industry frameworks.
• Collaborate with Product Owners and development teams to align security objectives with business priorities and to promote a shared security culture throughout the software development lifecycle.

This is a hands-on technical Application Security role, not a Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) position. We are looking for professionals with a strong software security background who can define security practices while working closely with engineering teams on secure architecture, threat modeling and secure development.

What skills are we looking for?​

• Good knowledge of application security frameworks such as SAMM, ASVS, NIST CSF, and similar;
• Understanding of certification standards like ISO 27000, as well as NIS2, DORA, ACN guidelines, PCI-DSS, and their impact on application security
• Knowledge of AI-focused risk and security frameworks, including NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act requirements, ISO/IEC 23894, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, and Google SAIF will be considered a plus;
• Understanding of AI‑related risks, key facts, and ecosystem dynamics, paired with strong curiosity and continuous awareness of the current and emerging AI technological landscape;
• Prior experience as a software developer or security engineer, with hands-on understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and the ability to read/review code is a plus. Familiarity with application security testing methodologies (SAST, DAST, penetration testing, dependency/vulnerability scanning) is also considered a plus.
• Strong knowledge of application security design principles, such as input filtering, data encryption (in transit and at rest), authentication/authorization frameworks, and secure-by-design best practices.
• Advanced proficiency in English (C1 level).
