✨ About Voyage Privé
Born in France in 2006, Voyage Privé has grown from an ambitious startup into becoming the Europe's leading travel tech platform. Operating across 9 markets with tens of millions of users, we're not just another e-commerce success story - we're a tech powerhouse revolutionizing online travel.
What makes us unique? A mission-driven culture where performance meets impact. Our innovative campus brings together tech talent, professional athletes, students, and artists, creating an ecosystem where digital innovation drives both business growth and positive change.
We're now at an inflection point, upgrading our entire technical foundation with cloud architecture, AI, and real-time systems to become a reference and top-of-mind platform for luxury travel, known by travelers for its for excellent offer and customer experience, and by our providers as a high-performance business development partner.
🎯 Your Mission
As a Security Engineer, you’ll play a key role in shaping the security and resilience of Voyage Privé’s technology platform. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, and Platform teams to embed security practices into every stage of product development, deliver measurable impact, and help us scale efficiently while maintaining a strong security posture.
You’ll have the opportunity to build many security foundations from scratch — from internal tooling to CI/CD guardrails — and influence key architectural and technical decisions as we redesign our platform for scale.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Strengthen the security posture across products, data and infrastructure: secure coding practices, code reviews, threat modeling, vulnerability remediation, cloud, and network hardening.
- Develop automated security guardrails integrated into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, SCA, secrets scanning).
- Design secure architectures for applications, APIs, data flows, and integrations in partnership with engineering teams.
- Secure hybrid environments combining virtual machines, containerized workloads, and cloud-native services, ensuring consistent security standards across the entire platform.
- Drive proactive risk identification through continuous scanning, threat modeling sessions, risk assessments, and architecture reviews.
- Enable engineering teams to build secure-by-design practices by acting as a trusted advisor, developing internal tools, and leading security awareness sessions.
- Operational security & incident readiness: participate in on-call rotations, investigate security events, and improve incident response workflows.
- Lead security improvement projects: build automation, enhance tools, optimize processes, and foster a culture of security ownership.
💡 What We’re Looking For

- Strong knowledge of secure coding, OWASP Top 10, and application security fundamentals.
- Experience with SAST, SCA, container/IaC scanning, runtime security tools, IAM, and secrets management.
