Lead / Staff Security Engineer
Lead / Staff Security Engineer
London | Hybrid - 3 days
We’re working with a scaling technology company building modern infrastructure products used by engineering teams operating in highly sensitive and high-trust environments.
The business sits in a genuinely interesting space between developer tooling, cloud infrastructure and secure systems, with a strong engineering culture and a big focus on building products properly from the ground up. They’re now looking to hire a senior security leader to help shape and scale security engineering across the organisation as the platform and customer footprint continue to grow.
The Role
This is not a governance-heavy or purely compliance-focused security position. The role sits very closely with engineering, infrastructure and product teams, helping embed security into the core of how systems are designed and built.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities will include:
- Driving the overall security engineering strategy.
- Partnering with software and infrastructure teams on secure architecture and engineering practices.
- Improving detection, monitoring and incident response capabilities.
- Building scalable approaches around cloud security, automation and internal tooling.
- Helping mature security processes in a fast-moving engineering environment.
- Acting as a senior technical voice internally across security best practices and risk management.
What They’re Looking For:
They’re open-minded on background, but they’ll likely be interested in people who have:
- Strong hands-on security engineering experience.
- Experience operating within modern cloud-native environments.
- Knowledge across infrastructure, application and cloud security.
- A strong engineering mindset with an interest in automation and tooling.
- Experience working in fast-paced product or platform-led technology businesses.
- The ability to balance technical depth with leadership and communication.

Environment:
You’d be joining a collaborative, engineering-led team working on technically complex systems where security is seen as a core product and engineering function rather than a separate department.
The company is still at a size where you can have genuine influence, ownership and visibility whilst working on problems around scale, infrastructure and secure systems design.
