Lawrence Harvey are partnered with a fast-growing FinTech that are looking for experienced Security Engineers to come and rewrite and rebuild security engineering from the ground up. You’ll take ownership of existing capabilities, challenge what isn’t working, and replace manual approaches with modern, scalable, and automated security solutions.
I'm looking to speak with experienced Security Engineers that want to take end-to-end ownership of security engineering capabilities across a complex technology estate. You won’t simply be implementing someone else’s security strategy. You’ll have autonomy to identify problems, define solutions, build the capability, and see it through to impact.
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.
Some of what you'll be doing:
- Own, rebuild, and scale Security Engineering across cloud, platform, and applications.
- Take security initiatives from problem to build to production, with full technical ownership.
- Build automation, tooling, controls, and guardrails that make security scalable.
- Work with Engineering to identify gaps and build what’s missing.
What you'll bring:
