Hire senior security engineers for Danish teams
Senior security engineers protect the code and infrastructure your team ships, from application security and cloud configuration to the checks in your pipeline. Each one is tested on finding real vulnerabilities in an unfamiliar codebase, first with AI tools off and then with their own agents on. A senior local hire in Denmark takes 4 months on average.
01
Teams ship more code than anyone can review
Coding agents multiplied the amount of code a team merges each week, and generated code repeats insecure patterns with confidence. Security review has to move into the pipeline and the pull request, where a security engineer sets the checks that catch those patterns automatically.
02
AI features brought new attack surface
Products that call models are exposed to prompt injection, data leaking through context and agents with more permissions than they need. A security engineer now threat-models these paths alongside the usual web and API risks.
03
Infrastructure changes are generated too
Agents write Terraform, IAM policies and pipeline configuration, and a policy that grants too much looks harmless in a diff. Reviewing generated infrastructure with the same care as a production access request is now part of the job.
How we assess security engineers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For security engineers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- Debugging
In the first assessment, with AI tools off, the engineer reviews a service they didn't build and has to find an authorisation flaw that the existing tests never exercise.
- AI output verification
In the second assessment their own agents propose a fix and an infrastructure change, and the scorecard shows whether they catch the injection path, the leaked secret or the over-broad IAM policy before it ships.
- Judgement by risk
Across both assessments we score whether they rank findings by real impact, explain the risk to a non-security colleague and block only what needs blocking.
Cost against a local hire
Engineers are Miyagami employees who work full-time in your team under a service agreement, so there's no individual contractor risk for you. Invoices are monthly, in DKK if you prefer.
Hiring locally in Denmark
- 4 months on average to hire
- Recruitment, payroll and compliance on you
Hiring with Miyagami
- Hire within five days, contracts and payroll handled
- Wrong fit: we replace at our cost
What is prompt injection
Prompt injection is an attack where malicious input manipulates an AI model's instructions, causing it to behave in unintended or harmful ways.
How to review AI-generated code
Reviewing AI-generated code changes some of what reviewers look for and keeps the rest. This entry covers both, plus the specific failure modes to check for.
What is an AI gateway
An AI gateway is a proxy layer that sits between your application and one or more model APIs, handling routing, auth, rate limits, logging and cost controls.
Questions about hiring security engineers
How much does it cost to hire a senior security engineer in Denmark?
A senior local hire in Denmark costs about kr 71,500 a month all-in, based on a senior software engineer median salary, statutory employer contributions and an amortised recruitment fee. Through us you pay a fixed monthly fee with employment and compliance included, and the pricing calculator shows the two side by side.
How long does it take to hire a security engineer?
You get a shortlist within three working days and can hire within five. A local senior hire in Denmark typically takes 4 months.
What do you test a security engineer on?
Every security engineer completes both assessments, weighted towards security judgement. In the first they review an unfamiliar service with AI tools switched off and find an authorisation flaw that the tests never exercise. In the second their own agents produce a fix and an infrastructure change, and we score whether they catch the injection path, the leaked secret or the IAM policy that grants more than the diff suggests.
Get a shortlist within three days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within three working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards, and you can hire within five.
