Platform Security Engineer
We are seeking a Platform Security Engineer to help design, implement, and maintain secure, resilient platforms across cloud and on-premises environments. You will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, DevOps, and compliance teams to embed security throughout the development and operational lifecycle. The role involves identifying risks, improving platform security controls, and enabling teams to deliver reliable services without compromising confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining secure infrastructure patterns, hardening operating systems, containers, Kubernetes clusters, networks, and cloud services, and implementing identity and access management controls. You will automate security checks and compliance controls within CI/CD pipelines, support vulnerability management and remediation, and contribute to threat modelling, security reviews, and architecture assessments. You will also monitor platform activity, investigate security events, support incident response, and help improve detection and recovery processes. Clear documentation, technical standards, and practical guidance will be essential to your success.
The successful candidate will have experience in platform, cloud, infrastructure, or DevSecOps security, together with a strong understanding of networking, authentication, encryption, secrets management, and secure system design. Practical experience with public cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, containers, orchestration tools, configuration management, and security monitoring is highly desirable. Familiarity with scripting or programming languages such as Python, Go, or Bash, as well as tools for vulnerability scanning, policy enforcement, and continuous integration, will be beneficial. You should be comfortable analysing complex technical issues, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and influencing secure outcomes through collaboration. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent hands-on experience are welcome. This role offers the opportunity to shape security engineering practices, improve platform resilience, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and responsible security ownership.
