You will work alongside our existing Senior AppSec Engineer and Security Architect, strengthening our capacity and resilience as we continue to mature our security services. This is not a vulnerability management position. It is true engineering‑led AppSec, shaping secure design, embedding controls into CI/CD, operating core security services and getting into the technical detail of how our systems are built.

What you’ll be doing

• Partnering with development teams across architecture, engineering and cloud to embed security into code, applications, Kubernetes and containerised workloads.
• Encouraging a shift‑left approach and promoting secure engineering practices.
• Implementing and operating code scanning to help developers identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Maturing our Secure Development Lifecycle, embedding security into CI/CD in GitHub Actions and strengthening development tooling.
• Advising on securing APIs and other high‑risk system components.
• Assisting with securing our Data Platforms including Databricks, Dagster, Snowflake and the wider cloud environment.
• Developing security policy as code using OPA or similar and gaining adoption across teams.
• Documenting security processes and low‑level designs for security tools and services.
• Contributing to security service documentation to support consistent delivery and operations.
• Assisting teams integrating with security tooling and ensuring smooth onboarding to security services.
• Supporting wider security initiatives including ISO 27001 activities and threat modelling.

• Experience of securing GitHub and GitHub Actions, or similar CI/CD platforms.
• Experience of securing Kubernetes ideally AKS, along with broader container security.
• Experience of securing APIs and other exposed components.
• Ideally experience in securing data platforms such as Databricks, Dagster or Snowflake.
• Experience working directly with software engineering best practices including source control, unit testing, code reviews, design documentation and strong debugging and troubleshooting.
• Experience in threat modelling within engineering teams.
• Exposure to Agile working and DevSecOps.
• Knowledge of ISO 27001 and its relevance to secure engineering.
• Desire to be part of a small fast‑paced team with a collaborative mindset.
• Relevant certifications such as Microsoft MS‑500, AZ‑500, AZ‑700, SC‑200, CompTIA Security+ or Cloud+, CSA CCSK, ISC2 CSSLP, GIAC GWAPT or EC‑Council CASE.
