Overview
Be among the first 25 applicants. At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate, while adhering to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform — our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. We then invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful and into acquiring new businesses. This combines an investor’s capital allocation mindset with an operator’s hands-on approach.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress your career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
Responsibilities
* Run security audits, identifying security loopholes and opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of security strategies.
* Perform internal vulnerability testing, uncovering weaknesses in the systems and implementing countermeasures to ensure the integrity of all data.

* Collaborate closely with privacy experts to ensure the most robust and complete privacy compliance strategy possible, and to translate regulations into tech implementations.

What we offer
* Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
