ENTER THE GAME

As a Security Engineer, you will join Betclic’s Global Security team as a member of the Cybersecurity Referents team. You will work directly within squads responsible for authentication, identity and payment journeys.

You will act as an embedded security partner throughout the product lifecycle, from initial design and architecture discussions through implementation, security validation and continuous improvement.

This is a hands-on role combining application security and architecture analysis. When relevant, you will also perform pragmatic offensive security testing. You will help teams identify relevant risks, implement effective security controls and deliver secure, reliable and user-friendly experiences.

YOUR ROLE WITHIN BETCLIC

In this role, your main missions will be:

• Work closely with Developers, Architects, Product Managers and Engineering Managers within the squads,
• Conduct secure design reviews and threat modeling for new projects, and provide pragmatic and actionable security recommendations,
• Assess existing implementations, including source code, APIs and security controls, to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement,
• Identify realistic attack paths affecting critical user journeys, and validate them through controlled security testing or proof-of-concept exercises when necessary,
• Promote secure development practices and reusable security patterns, while supporting teams in implementing security improvements,
• Propose, lead and contribute to security initiatives across the authentication and payment ecosystems,
• Collaborate with the wider Security organization, including the Blue and Red Teams, as well as Compliance and Fraud teams.

Why join this role?

• Work on identity, authentication and payment journeys that are critical to Betclic’s users and business,
• Be embedded directly within the squads,
• Influence security decisions from architecture through implementation,
• Develop broad security expertise across architecture, application security, secure coding and offensive security,
• Identify and implement meaningful security improvements rather than only providing recommendations,
• Work in a highly collaborative and international environment.

TECHNOLOGY & SECURITY LANDSCAPE

• Authentication and identity: MFA, passkeys, OIDC, SSO, IAM and session management,
• Security assessment: Threat modeling, architecture reviews, secure code reviews and controlled offensive testing,
• Security tooling: SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scanning, secrets management and CI/CD security controls,
• Languages: You will encounter C#, Rust, Kotlin, Dart and Flutter,
• Payment security: Familiarity with payment service providers, tokenization, payment flows, fraud prevention and PCI DSS is a plus.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for passionate and curious professionals who bring kindness and a touch of enthusiasm!

This job is for you if:

• Have experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on securing applications or digital products,
• Have experience working directly with Product and Engineering teams in an agile environment,
• Are comfortable analyzing both security architecture and implementation details,
• Understand the security principles behind modern authentication and identity systems,
• Are proactive and able to identify, propose and drive security improvements,
• Can communicate effectively with developers, architects, product managers and business stakeholders,
• Are fluent in English,
• Are interested in payment security and fraud prevention; prior experience in these areas is not required,
• Have experience with web and API security. Cloud experience with AWS or Azure is a plus, but not required.

WHAT ARE THE RECRUITMENT STEPS?

If your application is shortlisted, Sebastien or Maxime will contact you within a week for an initial HR screening (30 minutes). Then, you will complete the AssessFirst test (personality, motivation and cognitive reasoning).

Next, you will meet Philippe, Senior Security Referent Manager.

About two weeks later, you will take a technical test with one of our Security experts.

Finally, Sebastien or Maxime will conduct a final HR interview to review your AssessFirst results together.
