We serve finance teams across 32+ countries, cutting month-end close time and reconciling 99.7% of transactions with zero manual touch. AI runs through the platform as core infrastructure, not a bolted-on feature — and we hire the top 1% of talent in every function to keep building it that way. Why Payhawk Payhawk, where the bold builders make an impact. We're not a family, we're a high-performance team — and that's deliberate. We debate, ideate, and push each other to be better, because the best ideas come from direct feedback. We've already made history as Bulgaria's first unicorn, but the ambition doesn't stop there: if you want to grow fast - own it; do not wait for it. Give: Honest opinions, real ownership, a focus on outcomes. Get: A front-row seat to a market leader in one of the fastest-moving industries. ### Junior Security Engineer ### About the Role We are looking for a Junior IT & Security Engineer to assist in maintaining and improving the organization’s security posture through proactive monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response.
