What You’ll Bring

• Strong hands-on software engineering skills with demonstrated ability to ship production-quality tooling, automation, and integrations (e.g., Python, TypeScript, or equivalent).
• Solid DevOps and platform engineering fluency — comfortable working with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and modern delivery toolchains.
• Working knowledge of secure development practices and the ability to integrate security considerations into tooling and architectural patterns.
• Full-spectrum engineering background spanning multiple disciplines (e.g., QA, tooling, platform, application development) — not a narrow specialist.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills: comfortable communicating technical work clearly and collaborating with engineers across teams.
• Demonstrated ability to work with increasing autonomy, prioritize across competing demands, and drive initiatives forward without close direction.
• Evidence of initiative and impact beyond immediate team responsibilities.

Qualifications

• Solid engineering experience at the mid-to-senior level with evidence of growing scope and initiative.
• Experience in cybersecurity, email security, or adjacent enterprise SaaS domains preferred.
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts including prompt engineering, model evaluation, retrieval-augmented generation, and agent orchestration frameworks is valuable but can be developed in-role.
• Prior experience in a developer enablement, developer experience, internal tools, or platform engineering function preferred.
• Experience contributing to internal tooling, shared engineering infrastructure, or developer-facing platforms that serve a broad engineering organization is a plus.

The base salary range for this position is £80,000−£120,000 plus benefits. This range represents the minimum and maximum new hire compensation for this role. The position may also be eligible for incentive plans and additional benefits, in accordance with company policy and local regulations. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location with individual compensation also dependent on factors such as qualifications, experience, and skills. Final offers will reflect these considerations and may vary accordingly.

Belonging at Mimecast

Cybersecurity is a community effort. That’s why we’re committed to building an inclusive, diverse community that celebrates and welcomes everyone – unless they’re a cybercriminal, of course. We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, and we’d encourage you to join us whatever your background. We particularly welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups. We consider everyone equally: your race, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, marital status, nationality, or any other protected characteristic won’t affect your application.

Due to certain obligations to our customers, an offer of employment will be subject to your successful completion of applicable background checks, conducted in accordance with local law. It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment.

We save companies the embarrassment of awkward data slip ups by disrupting cybercriminal activity. We think fast, go big and always demand more. We work hard, deliver – and repeat. We grow with meaningful determination. And put success well within our reach. We empower each other, live by our values, and always deliver on our purpose. We push each other to be better and expect to be pushed back. This is a community of respect. Where everyone is counted.
