Description
At CFC, technology is at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for a Principal Product Security Engineer to lead the strategy and hands-on delivery of security across cloud platforms, code and CI/CD pipelines.
This is a lead individual contributor role for an engineer who solves unique, high-impact problems, advises across disciplines and helps shape functional strategy. You will lead the build and operation of the product-security toolchain, create secure-by-default patterns and influence how security is embedded across engineering.
You will also help CFC adopt AI-assisted and agentic product engineering safely. As these practices develop, you will use proportionate guardrails, controlled experimentation and evidence-led assurance rather than assume settled industry practice.
About the Role
- Design, implement and operate the product-security toolchain across source control, CI/CD, cloud and runtime environments
- Integrate and tune code, dependency, secrets, infrastructure-as-code, container and cloud security testing
- Build policy-as-code, pipeline controls and automation that prevent material weaknesses reaching production
- Secure the software supply chain through trusted dependencies, SBOMs, artefact signing, provenance and workload identity
- Lead threat modelling and security design reviews for complex products and platforms
- Diagnose vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, reduce false positives and work directly with engineers on prevention, remediation and recoverability
- Create reusable secure cloud, application and pipeline patterns that engineering teams can adopt by default
- Define and test guardrails for AI-assisted coding and agentic workflows, including identity, delegated authority, data, tools and auditability
- Measure security coverage, control effectiveness, developer experience and remediation velocity
- Act as a senior technical authority, advising stakeholders and coaching engineers setting the standard for security and data protection excellence across the wider technology organisation
