TESTIMONIALS

Meet our team

Our differences are what make us unique. Each of our employees bring their own perspectives and experiences, and enrich the Safey community.

Kai Wiemer - VP Engineering

Kai

Vice President, Engineering

As the VP of Engineering, I lead the overall architecture, and the technical and strategic development of the SoSafe platform, focusing on the pillars of scalability, resilience, and security. With my stellar team of developers, security specialists, enterprise architects, and DevOps engineers, I work to ensure we can achieve our company’s goals while keeping our customers happy.

Although my current responsibilities have shifted away from computer science in recent years, I am still a software developer at heart. After I graduated with an M.S in Computer Science, I developed and was responsible for a framework for test automation at an IT service provider. During my time at a Green Energy Startup, I was responsible for multiple agile software development teams and the operations of an energy management platform in the SaaS space. I now bring this professional experience to SoSafe and look forward to driving our awareness solutions forward every day with my fantastic team by my side.

I like to spend my free time with my wife and our German shepherd (the latter keeps us very busy). Family and friends are also a huge part of my life. After many years in the big city, we moved to the countryside and now find ourselves gardening to relax, going on line hikes and runs, and biking in the mountains.
Katharina - Corporate Account Executive

Katharina

Corporate Account Executive

As a member of the sales team, I am responsible for advising new customers on solutions that fit perfectly into their business. I consult customers using the background of their current setup and the complexity of their organization. A lot of my work comes down to answering questions such as: How many employees need to be trained? Which employee profiles might be the main focus of attacks? What kind of attacks have occurred in the past?

As a sociologist of technology, I have always been interested in how people interact with tech. One of the things that I love is that this is one of SoSafe’s aims: How can we make a supposedly complicated topic like cyber security as simple and exciting as possible?
Thore Backen - Chief of Staff

Thore

Chief of Staff

As Chief of Staff, I work with SoSafe’s management and our strategy team to drive new initiatives. I’ve been able to help shape the development of SoSafe from the very beginning as one of the first employees, which has been an incredibly rewarding and fun journey so far. In my work, I’m passionate about our customers, business development, and technology.

I have an MBA, and a background in computer science as well as experience in the military and in management consulting. From my time in consulting with the Boston Consulting Group, I have a strong focus on strategic thinking resulting in relevant business outcomes. I bring this set of experience and skills to SoSafe every day. But most important to me is that I get to work and share experiences with an amazingly talented and spirited group of people. This is where it comes to life!

Besides the occasional Kölsch in the office, I spend my free time with my family and friends. I also love vegan cooking!
Tobi - Frontend Engineer

Tobi

Frontend Engineer

I work on the technical implementation of new features and their integration into our product range. This means creating smooth and aesthetic solutions, while using UX design principles.

While studying to become a computer science teacher, I developed an interest in programming through various projects. From there, I started to learn programming autodidactically and discovered the fun of developing. Programming became my hobby! During my last semester in school, I joined SoSafe as a working student and finally turned my hobby into my full-time job after graduation.

BENEFITS

Why work for SoSafe

Aside from joining one of the fastest-growing German tech companies and 2021 Digital Startup of the Year, you’ll work on cutting-edge, meaningful, and career-advancing projects with brilliant colleagues and great benefits.

SoSafe community

We have weekly team-building meetings (in-person and virtual) and over 16 communities involved in sports, gaming, sustainability, trash TV, and more to foster a sense of inclusivity and connection amongst our Safeys. Plus, we’re always exploring new activities to add to our list!

Ongoing learning & development

Employee growth is our #1 priority, with a team just for L&D. To support Safeys on their career journeys, we have development opportunities, feedback programs, leadership coaching, and training. Plus, we offer free language courses and of course, cyber security training!

Comprehensive onboarding

We believe a great start is one that sets you up for success. As such, every new Safey participates in our “Welcome Days”, a series of virtual and engaging technical and cultural sessions that help you understand SoSafe, how we are structured and how to succeed, quicker!

State-of-the-art tech

We are a tech company – so naturally, we equip our employees with only the best hardware and software. We use modern solutions that help Safeys do their work as efficiently as possible, and regularly check in to see how we can improve our tooling.

Maximum flexibility

We want to make sure Safeys can do their work with all the flexibility they need to drive the best results. We give everyone the opportunity to adapt their workday to their individual needs. Safeys can leave on workations, and are able to work remotely whenever and from wherever they want to.

Support in every situation

We take care of each other and ourselves. We offer many means of support to give every Safey the possibility to receive help when needed – whether it is guidance during relocation, finding a spot in kindergarten for their children, or receiving help with mental health issues.

How we hire

We know interviewing can be stressful and taxing. That’s why we’ve created a simple and transparent hiring process to help all prospective Safeys effectively prepare for their interviews.
