Platform Security Engineer
We are seeking a Platform Security Engineer to strengthen the security, resilience, and reliability of cloud and infrastructure platforms. In this role, you will work closely with platform engineering, software development, operations, and compliance teams to embed security throughout the design, delivery, and operation of systems. You will help build secure-by-default services, improve security automation, and support a strong culture of risk awareness across technical teams.
Your responsibilities will include designing and implementing security controls across cloud environments, container platforms, networks, operating systems, and identity services. You will develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code security standards, CI/CD security checks, vulnerability management processes, secrets management, and monitoring and alerting capabilities. You will investigate security events, support incident response and remediation activities, and contribute to threat modelling, architecture reviews, penetration testing, and technical risk assessments. You will also help define practical security policies, document procedures, and provide guidance to engineers on secure development and operational practices.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in platform, infrastructure, cloud, DevSecOps, or security engineering, with a solid understanding of security principles across modern technology environments. Experience with one or more major cloud platforms, Kubernetes or similar container orchestration technologies, Linux, networking, identity and access management, and infrastructure-as-code tools is expected. You should be comfortable with scripting or programming, security testing, and integrating controls into automated delivery pipelines. Knowledge of frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS is beneficial. Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills are essential, as is the ability to balance security requirements with usability, delivery speed, and operational needs.
