We are seeking a Senior Engineer, Software Security to help strengthen the security, resilience and trustworthiness of modern software systems. In this role, you will work closely with software engineering, infrastructure, product and compliance teams to embed security throughout the development lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include reviewing architecture and source code, identifying security risks, and recommending practical remediation strategies. You will develop and maintain security standards, libraries, tooling and development patterns that support secure-by-default engineering. You will also lead or contribute to penetration testing, code analysis, dependency management, incident investigations and security reviews. The role will involve monitoring emerging threats, assessing their potential impact, and translating complex security issues into clear, actionable guidance for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
