Job description
As a Senior Cyber Security Engineer you will embed security into the DNA of our B2B SaaS platform. You'll partner with Engineering, SRE, Risk and Product to build security into every part of our product lifecycle, enabling high-velocity delivery without ever compromising trust or resilience. This is a hands-on, high-impact role. You'll influence architecture, automate security controls, strengthen detection & response, and drive a measurable uplift in our security posture. You'll define our standards, lead threat modelling, and champion secure-by-design practices across an engineering organisation that's modernising rapidly and ready for your expertise., Security architecture & design: Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to design secure solutions, perform threat modelling and review designs for cloud, container and service-based architectures. Cloud security: Define and enforce secure configurations, network segmentation, identity and access controls for public cloud (primarily AWS). Application & infrastructure hardening: Implement secure coding practices, vulnerability management, secrets management and runtime protections for services and CI/CD pipelines. Detection & response: Build and maintain monitoring, logging and alerting for security events; lead incident response and post-incident reviews to drive remediation and lessons learned. Automation & tooling: Automate security checks, policy enforcement and remediation using IaC, CI/CD integrations and custom tooling where appropriate. Compliance & assurance: Work with Risk, Legal and InfoSec to embed controls that support regulatory, privacy and contractual requirements across new territories. Key outcomes: Measurable risk reduction: Clear evidence of reduced exposure through vulnerability metrics, patch timelines and remediation actions. Robust detection capability: High-fidelity alerts and shortened MTTD/MTTR for security incidents with thorough RCA and preventative measures. Secure-by-design practices adopted: Engineering teams consistently apply threat modelling, secure coding and automated security gates. Compliance readiness: Security controls aligned with regulatory and contractual requirements for current and new markets.
Requirements
5+ years' experience in cyber security within cloud-native environments, DevOps or platform engineering contexts. Strong cloud security knowledge: Practical experience securing AWS services, IAM, networking, KMS/secrets and managed services. Container and orchestration security: Experience securing Kubernetes and related tooling (runtime protection, admission controllers, image scanning). Detection and monitoring: Hands-on with logging, metrics and tracing for security use cases (SIEM, ELK/Opensearch, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger or similar). Infrastructure as Code & automation: Proficient with Terraform/CloudFormation and CI/CD integration to enforce policy and automate remediations. Scripting & development skills: Comfortable writing automation and tools in Python, Go, Bash or similar languages.
