The opportunity 

Urban Sports Club is building a security function that moves with heart and mind. As a Security Engineer you will work across the full security landscape – from application security to cloud runtime to development pipelines and of course AI – bringing genuine breadth alongside real depth in your domain specialisations. 

You will work side-by-side with IT analysts, developers, product managers, and leadership alike to embed security into how we build and operate. You will report to the Director of Cyber Security, with the empowerment and autonomy to shape how security is done across the company.

This role suits those with a builder’s mindset who gets restless without a hard problem to solve, who is excited about the intersection of AI and security, and who communicates as comfortably in a board update as in a pull request review.

What you will do

• You partner with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to identify and mitigate security risks across our cloud, application, and AI/ML environments
• You lead security initiatives in your specialist area – whether that is AI/ML Security, DevSecOps, Application/Product Security, or Cloud Security – while staying curious and contributing across different domains
• You design, build, and operate security controls, automation, and tooling that scale with a fast-growing platform
• You drive threat modelling, secure design reviews, and risk assessments for new features, services, and infrastructure changes
• You detect, respond to, and investigate security incidents; own root cause analysis and drive post-incident improvements
• You translate complex security topics into clear, actionable language for technical and non-technical audiences, including C-level leadership
• You track the evolving threat landscape, with particular attention to AI/ML attack surfaces and AI-assisted security tooling, bringing those insights back into the business

What you will need to succeed

• You bring 5+ years of hands-on security engineering (or equivalent) in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• You have a deep expertise in at least one domain: AI/ML Security, DevSecOps, Application/Product Security, or Cloud Security
• You bring a strong builder mindset: able to script, automate, write detections, and review architectures/designs
• You understand modern threats (e.g., AI/ML risks, software supply chain, API and cloud security)
• You are are an excellent communicator across technical and executive audiences (e.g., engineers to CISO level)
• You are able to work autonomously, set direction, and thrive in ambiguous, collaborative environments
• Nice to have: Experience with platform/marketplace products, Kubernetes security in AWS/GCP, EU regulations (GDPR, NIS2, DORA), and scripting (Python, Go)

What’s in it for you 

• Free Urban Sports Club L Pro Membership + Friends and Family Discount: Stay active with free membership, plus discounts for friends and family.
• Flexible Work Model: Enjoy a hybrid work setup, balancing on-site and remote work options to fit your lifestyle.
• Extended Remote Work Options: Work up to 120 days remotely within the EU, the UK, and Switzerland, including 30 days outside the EU. You’ll also have the option to desk-swap at our other European offices.
• WorkOUT Life Balance: Take advantage of 30 days of paid vacation annually, plus two additional days for volunteering, flexible working hours, and complimentary access to our mental health provider Open Up.
• Personal Development: Receive an annual budget of €1,000 for professional growth, with regular internal training sessions and weekly German and English language classes.
• Engaging Team Culture: Participate in regular team and company events along with wellness initiatives that help you stay productive, healthy, and engaged in a hybrid work environment.

Urban Sports Club is committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone who applies for a position or already works with us, regardless of their sports preferences, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion (or lack thereof).

We are looking for a Head of Infrastructure to own the strategy and execution of our hybrid infrastructure. This role is perfect for a leader who understands the "full stack" of infrastructure—from physical data centers to managed cloud services—and can bridge the gap between technical complexity and business goals.

You will lead a team of specialists, ensuring our Linux-based ecosystem and Kubernetes clusters (on-prem and cloud) are reliable, scalable, and fully automated.

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure Strategy: Develop the vision for a hybrid environment that balances the performance of on-prem bare metal with the agility of the public cloud.
• Architectural Oversight: Guide the design of robust, scalable solutions. You aren't the one clicking the buttons, but you are the one ensuring the architecture is sound.
• Team Leadership: Build and manage a high-performing team of DevOps and SRE engineers. Foster a culture of accountability and continuous learning.
• Automation Evangelism: Drive the transition toward "No-Ops" by prioritizing automation across all layers of the infrastructure stack.
• Vendor & Capacity Management: Manage the lifecycle of hardware and data center relationships. Balance OpEx (Cloud) and CapEx (On-Prem) effectively.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure that the infrastructure meets modern security standards, from network isolation to access management.

Technical Profile (Strong Conceptual Understanding)

• Linux Foundations: A solid understanding of Linux internals, file systems, and server management principles.
• Networking Principles: Strong grasp of L2/L3 networking, routing, BGP, and load balancing, especially in the context of connecting data centers to the cloud.
• Kubernetes Ecosystem: Good understanding of K8s architecture, including how it runs on bare metal versus managed services (EKS/GKE). You should understand orchestration, persistent storage, and service discovery.
• Cloud Platforms: Experience managing environments in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Modern Tooling: Familiarity with the CNCF landscape, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible).

Core Competencies

• Management Excellence: Proven track record of leading technical teams and managing stakeholders.
• High Responsibility: A "the buck stops here" attitude regarding system reliability and team performance.
• Strategic Thinking: The ability to decide when to build on-prem (for cost/performance) and when to use cloud (for speed/flexibility).
• Process Driven: A focus on documentation, post-mortems, and standardized workflows.
