Hire Security Engineers

Security work gets scheduled after an incident or before an audit, and both are late. LebSource provides pre-vetted Lebanese security engineers who find the real weaknesses in your application and infrastructure and help you close them in priority order.

01

What a Security Engineer does

A security engineer assesses and hardens your systems: reviewing application code and architecture for exploitable weaknesses, testing authentication and authorisation logic, hardening cloud configuration and access control, setting up dependency and secret scanning in CI, and preparing the technical evidence security questionnaires and audits ask for.

Security Engineers in France

The one-hour offset leaves about seven hours of shared working time with a French team, enough to keep daily meetings, code review, and collaboration inside everyone's normal day.

Learn more ›

Security Engineers in Netherlands

A single hour of difference gives about seven hours of overlap with a Dutch team, so a LebSource developer is online for your stand-ups, planning, and reviews without odd-hour scheduling.

Security Engineers in Switzerland

With one hour between Beirut and Zurich or Geneva, a LebSource developer shares about seven hours of the working day, enough for the same-day review cycles Swiss engineering teams tend to expect.

Learn more ›

Security Engineers in Sweden

The one-hour offset gives about seven hours of overlap with a Swedish team. Because Swedish working days tend to start and finish early, that overlap sits squarely across the hours when decisions actually get made.

Security Engineers in Denmark

One hour of difference leaves about seven hours of shared working time with a Danish team, comfortably covering the early-starting Danish working day.

Learn more ›

Security Engineers in Norway

With a single hour between Beirut and Oslo, a LebSource developer shares about seven hours of the working day with a Norwegian team, so stand-ups and reviews happen live.

Learn more ›

Security Engineers in Spain

The one-hour gap gives about seven hours of overlap with a Spanish team. Spanish working days often run later than the northern European norm, which pushes even more of the shared window into the afternoon collaboration period.

Learn more ›

Security Engineers in Poland

The one-hour offset gives about seven hours of overlap with a Polish team, which matters most where LebSource developers are working alongside an existing in-house team rather than replacing one.

The cost

What security engineers cost, in-house versus LebSource

Pick your country and move the slider to the gross salary you would pay locally. We do not guess the salary for you. A shipped salary table would look like research and would not be.

Your country

Local gross salary

€70,000

€30k€90k€150k

Employer overheads are added at 21%, the statutory minimum for the country you selected.

In-house

€84,700

per year, salary plus 21% employer overheads

Through LebSource

€48,279

per year, all-in, for the same capability

You keep

€36,421

a year, per person, up to 43% of the loaded cost of the equivalent local hire. That is roughly €3,035 a month back, or the budget for a second hire every 2 people you take on.

What this leaves out, in both directions: recruitment fees and the cost of the role sitting unfilled (which count against hiring locally), and onboarding ramp and management time (which apply either way). The full calculator includes the vacancy cost and lets you model multiple hires. Real pricing depends on the specific role and seniority. This is an illustration, not a quote.

FAQ

Hiring security engineers with LebSource

Is this the same as a penetration test?

Related but broader. A pen test is a point-in-time exercise; a security engineer also fixes what is found and builds the checks that stop it recurring.

Can they help with SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

With the technical controls and evidence, yes. The audit itself is conducted by an accredited third party, not by us.

What access will they need?

Read access to code and infrastructure configuration to begin with. The access model is agreed explicitly before any engagement starts.
