We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer with a strong security background to join our product development team based in Paris, which focuses on building innovative features to enrich the security protection for both our B2B and B2C users.

The goal of the team is to research and build product capabilities that improve user protection, strengthen identity and access controls, reduce security risks, and raise the overall security posture of the Dashlane experience. In this role, you will design, build, and operate backend services that power security-sensitive features, working in close partnership with product, design, infrastructure, and the Security organization.

This role is a strong fit for an engineer who has already built security-relevant product features in a SaaS environment, understands application security fundamentals, and can contribute pragmatically to secure, scalable backend systems.

You will be based in Paris, with English as your working language. At Dashlane, we embrace a hybrid culture that combines the best of both worlds: the creativity and energy of in-person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work. Our model is designed to strengthen team connections while supporting individual productivity and work-life balance. To maximize collaboration, we come together in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, while Wednesdays and Fridays offer more flexibility for focused work.

• Research, design, implement, and maintain backend services that support user-protection features across B2B and B2C products.

• Build features related to identity, authentication, access control, threat prevention, and other security-sensitive user journeys.

• Work closely with the Product team and the Security team to assess new opportunities, translate security requirements and risk assessments into effective product features.

• Contribute to threat modeling activities and apply security best practices throughout the software development lifecycle.

• Help improve the resilience of systems against common attack patterns such as account abuse, privilege misuse, insecure integrations, and identity-related vulnerabilities.

• Participate in architecture discussions and make pragmatic trade-off decisions that balance security, usability, maintainability, and delivery speed.

• Write high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code and support services in production with appropriate observability and operational ownership.

• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver security features that are technically sound and valuable to customers.
