Overview

We’re helping a household UK brand stand up a brand-new Security Platform Engineering team. We’ve got three hires—all hands-on engineers who love DevOps + Security (DevSecOps), can learn new platforms quickly, and explain them clearly to wider tech teams. Any cloud welcome (Azure preferred).

Salary: Up to £80,000 + up to 30% bonus + 18% pension

Contract: Permanent – Hybrid (1 day/week in Paddington, London)

What you’ll do

• Build and automate secure cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP): IaC (Terraform/Bicep/CloudFormation) and policy-as-code (e.g., Azure Policy); create reusable guardrails.
• Implement/tune CSPM/CNAPP and cloud security tooling; drive remediation with platform/product teams.
• Strengthen API security (design reviews, gateway policies, authN/Z) and GitHub security (CodeQL, Dependabot, secret scanning, branch protection).
• Support MongoDB/Atlas security (landing zones, RBAC/roles, secrets, backups) and data platform controls.
• Contribute to architecture decisions while remaining hands-on; document patterns and enable teams.
• Operate within change management processes; communicate risk and trade-offs clearly.

What you’ll bring

• Solid DevOps/Platform background with a security-first mindset (DevSecOps).
• Practical experience in at least one major cloud (Azure ideal, AWS/GCP welcome).
• Policy-as-code and controls-as-code in pipelines; familiarity with Azure Policy/equivalent.
• Working knowledge of K8s security (e.g., network policies, image scanning, secrets mgmt).
• Understanding of AppSec/SSDLC and OWASP; ability to coach non-security stakeholders.
• Fast, self-directed learner who can pick up new platforms and explain them simply.

Nice to have

• API gateways (e.g., APIM/Kong/Apigee) and service-to-service security.
• CNAPP/CSPM (Defender for Cloud, Wiz, Prisma, Lacework) and SIEM/SOAR (Sentinel/Splunk).
• An architecture-strong engineer who still codes and ships.
• Build a green-field Security Platform Engineering capability with real impact.
• Modern stack, supportive culture, funded training/certifications and clear progression.
• Competitive package: up to £80k base, 30% bonus, 18% pension.
