Collaboration with stakeholders will be essential to understand operational needs, define success criteria and ensure solutions are secure, maintainable and fit for purpose.

The successful candidate will have professional experience in software engineering, security engineering, DevSecOps or a related discipline, together with strong programming skills in Python or a similar language. You should be comfortable working with REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, version control and automated testing, and have practical experience with cloud platforms, CI/CD practices, containers and infrastructure automation. Knowledge of security operations, incident response, SIEM, SOAR, vulnerability management, identity and access management, or threat detection will be highly valued. You will bring a methodical approach to problem-solving, strong communication skills and a commitment to secure coding and continuous improvement. Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams and managing priorities in a fast-changing environment would be advantageous.
