Our mission and why it matters We are on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer. Human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities and traditional awareness training is not enough. We take a different approach by combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to actively protect people and organizations. We don't just simulate risks. We build the tools that detect and stop them. Why this role matters We are looking for a J unior Security Engineer, GRC to join Hoxhunt's Product Security team. In this role, you will act as a quarterback for customer trust by taking the lead on the security questionnaires and RFPs that unblock sales deals, owning each case end-to-end. You will play a key role in our compliance footprint by collecting and validating evidence across the frameworks we operate under (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA). You will also run the day-to-day coordination of our vulnerability management program and our recurring security activities. This is an excellent opportunity to build a career at the intersection of information security and business within a fast-growing SaaS company, with modern tooling and automation doing the heavy lifting. This is a growth role for someone with ambition. We hire juniors we expect to grow quickly, providing real ownership from week one and experienced mentors to support you. What you'll own and drive Quarterback RFP and security questionnaire responses: Triage requests, draft high-quality responses using our answer library and tooling (Vanta), coordinate input from technical experts, and drive it through to submission. Drive continuous compliance: Own the evidence flow across SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and HIPAA. Validate evidence collected through Vanta, handle manual needs, and work with engineers to automate processes to stay continuously audit-ready. Run the vulnerability management coordination cadence : Review dashboards and automated triage output weekly, route findings to the code owners, track remediation against CVSS-based SLAs, escalate when needed, and report on status. Run our recurring security activities: Own the regular calendar including coordinating penetration testing with external partners, quarterly access reviews, annual policy reviews and approvals, and annual subprocessor reviews. Maintain our security knowledge base and sales collateral: Keep the answer library comprehensive, accurate, and current, and maintain external-facing security documentation that supports the sales process. Close the loop: Track security-questionnaire outcomes, collect lessons learned from each RFP cycle, and feed recurring gaps back to Product, Sales, and the security team. Support compliance reporting: Help prepare quarterly compliance status reporting for the Senior Management Team and keep procedures and policies documented. Assist in preparing for external audits , maintaining our AI Management System (AIMS, ISO 42001), and acting as a point of contact for external vulnerability reports . • Research, propose, and deliver improvements to security controls and contribute to security automation initiatives. What success looks like In your first 3 months you'll: Master our existing security answer library and compliance tooling, take ownership of incoming security questionnaires and RFPs, and begin coordinating vulnerability management cadences and recurring security activities. By month 6 you'll: Smoothly drive continuous compliance and evidence validation, actively partner with engineers to automate manual compliance tasks, independently quarterback complex RFPs from triage to submission, and contribute to improvements in our security controls and knowledge base. What makes you thrive here You have: A genuine desire to work in compliance and with customers. This role is customer-facing security work at its core and requires someone who truly wants to do this work. Excellent written English with rigorous attention to detail to ensure every customer-facing answer is clear, accurate, professional, and error-free. Organizational and project-management ability to lead RFP execution, identify stakeholders, assign ownership, and manage multiple deadlines. An understanding of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, NIST) or a strong willingness to learn them quickly. An understanding of security controls and best practices, or the drive to build it fast. A self-motivated, continuous learning mindset where you actively teach yourself new frameworks, tools, and techniques. Currently pursuing or completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Security, IT, Business, or a related field. A mindset to use modern AI tools everywhere to expand and scale your reach, acting as a force multiplier. You don't need to meet every qualification on day one. Three things are non-negotiable: you want to work in compliance and with customers, you use AI to accelerate everything you do, and you teach yourself what you don't know. If that's you, we'd like to hear from you even if the rest is still growing. Bonus points if you also: Bring experience with GRC or RFP automation tools like Vanta, Drata, Loopio, or Hyperproof. Have previous experience in compliance, audit, security, or technical-writing roles. Possess basic programming or scripting skills (Python, Shell) for automation tasks. Have exposure to vulnerability management concepts like CVSS, triage, and remediation tracking. Understand AI-native, cloud-native, and SaaS business models. Experience with, or strong interest in learning, how to build software using teams of agents working in parallel. Rather than writing every line of code by hand, you enjoy designing and optimizing the harness that allow agents to work optimally. You think in terms of product, feedback loops, and continuous improvement of the development process itself. Who you'll work with You will work daily with the Product Security team, whose shared job is to address any security concern a product team or customer raises. You will not start from scratch or work alone; the team behind you includes experienced colleagues who own the frameworks and engineers who build the automation you run. You will report to the Director of Product Security, collaborating closely with Sales, Product, and external partners in an environment where continuous learning and automation are the default. What you can expect from us Compensation: Monthly salary of €3,000 - €4,000 depending on your experience.

Working ways: We work in a flexible, but hybrid work setting. You are expected to visit the Helsinki office weekly. High performance meets high humanity: We bring an incredibly driven, high-impact energy to our work, but we leave our egos at the door. You will be surrounded by wildly talented, dedicated colleagues in an environment built on extreme kindness, support, and psychological safety.
