Remote security engineer in Germany (UTC+2)

Hi, I’m Rohit, and I have a strong technical foundation in software development, data engineering, and workflow automation. My experience spans across tools and languages such as Python, C/C++, SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and Informatica PowerCenter, along with solid working knowledge of Jira, Linux, and Windows environments. At SAP, I worked extensively with Jira — handling administrative configurations, customizing workflows, and building real-time dashboards for data pipelines and asset onboarding. I also wrote automation scripts to streamline repetitive tasks and improve efficiency. Earlier in my career at Capgemini, I developed ETL mappings using Informatica PowerCenter, wrote and optimized SQL queries for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Teradata, and worked on improving database performance. My academic and internship projects gave me hands-on experience with C/C++, as well as exposure to Android development and 3D prototyping using Fusion 360. I’m comfortable across both Windows and Linux platforms, and I bring a good balance of technical depth and communication skills — enabling me to work effectively across teams and technical domains.

FAQs

Why hire a security engineer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a security engineer, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote security engineers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire security engineers?

To hire a security engineer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Arc offers three services to help you hire security engineers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time security engineers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire.

If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 450,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted security engineers.

Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right security engineers for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.

Where do I hire the best remote security engineers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire security engineers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find security engineers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote security engineers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their security engineers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote security engineers.

Some factors to consider when you hire security engineers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find security engineers for hire.

How do I write a security engineer job description?

Writing a good security engineer job description is crucial in helping you hire security engineers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote security engineer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.

What skills should I look for in a security engineer?
