Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Security engineering roles in SaaS matter most when they sit close to product delivery, and this one is positioned around a secure development lifecycle rather than perimeter-only controls. Dashlane operates a security-sensitive, user-facing product, which makes application and infrastructure risk a continuous concern, not an occasional audit exercise. The hybrid Paris setup also signals a role embedded in day-to-day engineering collaboration, where security guidance has to land with varied stakeholders.
From a SaaS career perspective, the remit touches several durable domains: threat modeling, architecture review, vulnerability management, and incident and compliance participation. That combination builds the kind of end-to-end security judgment SaaS companies rely on as they iterate frequently through CI/CD and ship changes at high cadence. Experience aligning teams on IAM protocols and SDLC guardrails tends to transfer well across subscription software businesses with similar delivery patterns.
This role suits a security engineer who prefers influence and enablement over gatekeeping, and who can translate risk into practical engineering decisions. It is a strong match for someone comfortable moving between technical depth and cross-functional communication, including mentoring and advising non-security partners. An interest in how AI tools intersect with internal security practices will also fit the direction described.
