- Exposure to modern cloud-native security tooling, DevSecOps practice and secure architecture
- Roles at the level you’re ready for-we’re hiring across the full security engineering spectrum
- A collaborative environment where security rigour and engineering craft are both valued
- Clear scope to develop specialist depth (cloud, DevSecOps, AppSec, infrastructure) or stay broad
- Flexible working arrangements (on-site, hybrid or remote) and supportive team culture
Requirements
- Strong foundation in security engineering principles and secure architecture
- Cloud security across AWS, Azure or GCP (IAM, network security, configuration, CSPM)
- DevSecOps-securing CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and containers (Docker, Kubernetes)

- Able to communicate risk clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
- Strong problem-solving and genuine curiosity about how things break

Domain Flexibility:
- Roles span SaaS and tech, fintech and banking, e-commerce, healthtech and public sector-including the regulated environments common across tech and finance
