The Role and the Team
We have an exciting opportunity for a Platform Security Engineer to join our Technology team and play a key role in how we secure and evolve our cloud estate. You'll be reporting directly to the Director of Technology & Security.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll take the technical lead on securing our cloud and edge estate. You’ll work closely with our platform and engineering squads, helping us continuously improve how we protect the infrastructure that sits behind our product. If you love solving complex security challenges and want your work to matter, this is a great time to join.
What You’ll Do
- Review and triage security findings, prioritise remediation, and work with engineering squads and third parties to continuously improve our cloud security position
- Own our Cloud Security Posture Management tooling day to day, tuning policies, driving remediation, and keeping our security position visible across the business
- Keep our AWS estate secure across IAM, network controls, encryption, logging, and workload protection, partnering with platform engineering on guardrails, Service Control Policies, and secure landing zones
- Manage our Cloudflare edge as a security control, tuning WAF rules, overseeing rate limiting and bot management, and responding quickly as threats evolve
- Lead detection and response for cloud and edge incidents, develop detections in our SIEM, and produce post-incident reviews that help us learn and improve
- Develop and maintain our technical security standards across cloud, WAF, IAM, and logging, keeping us aligned with best practice and our regulatory obligations
- Support compliance across UK GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and Cyber Essentials Plus, contributing to risk assessments and implementing technical mitigations
- Champion security best practice across our engineering teams, helping squads build security in from the start
