About Codesphere
Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders.
Since our founding in Karlsruhe in 2020, we’ve expanded into an international team of 60+ experts. Based in Karlsruhe and Munich and backed by top-tier investors, we are chasing a bold vision.
We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀
About the role
Codesphere runs cloud infrastructure that enterprises and governments depend on – security is not an afterthought, it's a foundation.

-
You manage security scanning tooling (DAST/SAST) and perform security code reviews
-
You design and implement security controls across our full technology stack, defining and enforcing standards for development, infrastructure, and data
-
You integrate security into our CI/CD pipelines and development processes – Shift Left and DevSecOps in practice, not just on paper
-
You develop and maintain our Security Incident Response Plan, monitor security logs via SIEM, and lead forensic analysis when needed
-
You ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations – including GDPR and ISO 27001
-
You manage IAM systems with a least privilege approach
