  • Apply LLMs, AI-assisted tooling and emerging technologies to improve security engineering and automation.
  • Perform threat modeling and risk assessments for new infrastructure, software, cloud services, and emerging technologies, translating risks into practical controls.
  • Partner with Infrastructure, Engineering, Research, and business teams to deliver secure, usable solutions and communicate risk clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

 

 

Your Present Skillset

  • 7+ years of experience in security engineering, platform security, cloud security or infrastructure engineering.
  • Strong experience designing secure hybrid infrastructure, ideally including AWS.
  • Deep knowledge of network security, IAM, least privilege and defence-in-depth.
  • Hands-on experience with containers, Kubernetes, virtualisation and workload security.
  • Strong infrastructure-as-code and automation experience, particularly Terraform.
  • Strong scripting or software development skills in Python, Go, PowerShell or similar.
  • Practical experience with threat modelling, CI/CD security and software supply-chain security.
  • Curious, automation-minded and comfortable working with new and unfamiliar technologies.
  • High ownership, can-do and low ego, with strong collaboration, communication and judgement.
