Security Compliance & Operations Engineer (GRC Focus)
Operations, Compliance / Regulatory
Prishtina
Job Description
KODE Labs is on the lookout for a distinct kind of security professional to join our team in Prishtina. We are looking for a Security Compliance & Operations Engineer who sits at the intersection of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Security Operations.
You will work on a clearly defined roadmap within an experienced team, helping us maintain customer trust while keeping our hands on the latest security tools. This is an ideal role for an early-career professional (or a career transitioner with strong SaaS foundations) who is self-sufficient, writes exceptionally well, and wants to grow into a well-rounded Security Engineer.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Primary Focus: GRC & Trust
Customer Trust Management: Own the response process for customer security questionnaires and vendor assessments. You will use our AI-driven Knowledge Base and Trust Portal to streamline this, ensuring our clients feel secure.
Compliance Operations: Assist in maintaining our audit readiness for frameworks like SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR. This includes evidence collection and policy reviews.
Vendor Risk Management: Review and assess new and existing vendors to ensure they meet KODE Labs’ security standards.
Documentation & Knowledge Base: Maintain internal security documentation and "feed" the AI-driven knowledge base to automate future responses.
Secondary Focus: Security Operations & Tooling
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Monitor our cloud environments (using tools like Wiz) to identify misconfigurations and collaborate with DevOps to remediate them.
Vulnerability Management: Triage vulnerability scans (infrastructure and code), distinguish false positives from real risks, and track remediation tickets to closure.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR): Assist in monitoring and managing our CrowdStrike deployment to ensure fleet health and investigate alerts.
Incident Response Support: Act as a first responder for security alerts (SIEM/SOC), performing initial triage and investigation before escalating to senior engineers.
Identity & Access Monitoring: Auditing user access logs and helping enforce Least Privilege principles.
Requirements
2+ Years of Relevant Experience: You have worked in a role requiring IT, SaaS support, QA, or Junior Security tasks. We are open to self-taught candidates if you have a portfolio or concrete examples of your learning.
SaaS Proficiency: You understand how modern B2B SaaS companies operate (APIs, Cloud Infrastructure, CI/CD basics).
Exceptional Written Communication: A large part of this job involves writing clear, concise responses to auditors and customers. You must be able to translate "Tech" into "English."
Organizational Rigor: You are proficient with work-tracking tools (Jira, Linear, Asana, etc.). You don't let tasks fall through the cracks.
The "Doer" Mindset: You can take a defined roadmap item and execute it. You know when to Google a solution and when to ask for help.
Familiarity with Security Frameworks: You have a working knowledge of what SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST are and why they matter.
DESIRED (BUT NOT REQUIRED):
Certifications such as Security+, GSEC, CISA, or CCSK.
Experience with Wiz, CrowdStrike, or Splunk/Datadog.
Basic scripting skills (Python/Bash) for automating repetitive tasks.
Experience administering a GRC platform (e.g., Vanta, Drata, OneTrust).
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES:
We believe in training our own. While this role focuses on GRC and Blue Team operations, you will be exposed to:
Offensive Security: Shadowing internal red-teaming and penetration testing exercises.
Architecture: Learning how to design secure cloud infrastructure.
AI Security: working with cutting-edge AI tools to automate security workflows.
