Principal Product Security Engineer
We are seeking a Principal Product Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the product development lifecycle, helping teams design, build and operate secure, resilient services and applications. You will shape product security strategy, establish practical security standards and influence engineering decisions from early architecture and threat modelling through to deployment and ongoing improvement. Working closely with software engineers, architects, product managers and platform teams, you will champion secure-by-design principles without compromising delivery or user experience.
Your responsibilities will include leading threat modelling and security reviews for new and existing products, identifying meaningful risks and recommending proportionate mitigations. You will develop and maintain secure development guidance, patterns and tooling; support vulnerability management and remediation; and help embed security testing, including code analysis, dependency scanning, dynamic testing and penetration testing, into engineering workflows. You will investigate complex security issues, contribute to incident response and ensure lessons learned are translated into stronger controls. You will also define security metrics, communicate risk clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and mentor engineers to build lasting security capability across the organisation.
Applicants should have substantial experience in product or application security, with a strong understanding of secure software development, cloud environments, APIs, identity and access management, cryptography and common web application vulnerabilities. You will be comfortable reviewing code and architecture, automating security checks and working with modern development and delivery practices. Experience with threat modelling frameworks, security standards and relevant regulations is desirable, as is a track record of influencing teams in a collaborative, fast-moving environment. The successful candidate will combine deep technical expertise with sound judgement, excellent communication skills and the ability to prioritise practical outcomes in the face of evolving threats.
