Job description
We simplify wealth creation. Founded in 2014 in Vienna, Austria by Eric Demuth, Paul Klanschek and Christian Trummer, we’re here to help people trust themselves enough to build their financial freedom — for now and the future. Our user-friendly, trade-everything platform empowers both first-time investors and seasoned experts to invest in the cryptocurrencies, crypto indices, stocks*, precious metals and commodities* they want — with any sized budget, 24/7. Our global team works across different cultures and time zones, bringing our products to more than 6 million customers, making us one of Europe’s safest and most secure platforms that powers modern investing.
Responsibilities
- Lead sophisticated, end-to-end penetration tests across complex systems; uncovering deep, chained vulnerabilities others miss
- Design and demonstrate impactful exploit scenarios that drive prioritisation at both engineering and leadership levels
- Own offensive security engagements from scoping through remediation validation, acting as the technical authority
- Influence architecture through threat modeling and design review; shifting security left and preventing classes of vulnerabilities
- Build and evolve offensive tooling, methodologies, and playbooks to scale security testing across teams
Requirements
- 5+ years in offensive security with a proven track record of finding high-impact, non-trivial vulnerabilities in real-world systems
- Strong depth in application and product security, with the ability to think across layers (app, API, infra, auth, logic)
- Recognised for your hands-on expertise; whether through certifications (OSCP, OSWE, GPEN) or demonstrated offensive work
- Able to influence without authority; translating complex attack paths into clear, actionable risk for diverse stakeholders
- Naturally curious and adversarial; you think in attack chains, not isolated bugs, and push until you find what really matters
Conditions
- Flexibility to work where you thrive – Enjoy the freedom of our Hybrid working model, combining onsite collaboration and remote work, with an additional 25 days per year to work from a city or country of your choice.
- Reward for your impact – Receive a competitive total compensation package aligned with Bitpanda’s pay-for-impact policy, including participation in our stock option plan.

- Exclusive perks and rewards – Enjoy discounts, rewards, and perks from partners worldwide across lifestyle, wellness, tech, and travel.
