Security Software Engineer
We are seeking a Security Software Engineer to design, build and maintain secure, resilient software that protects applications, systems and data. You will work across the development lifecycle, from threat modelling and security architecture through to implementation, testing and deployment. The role will involve collaborating closely with software engineers, platform specialists and product stakeholders to embed security into everyday engineering practices rather than treating it as a final-stage review.
Your responsibilities will include identifying vulnerabilities, assessing security risks and recommending practical improvements; developing secure services, tools and automation; reviewing code and technical designs; and supporting incident investigation and remediation. You will help establish and maintain secure coding standards, improve security testing within CI/CD pipelines, and contribute to monitoring, logging and detection capabilities. You will also produce clear technical documentation, communicate risks to both technical and non-technical audiences, and keep abreast of emerging threats, attack techniques and relevant industry standards.
Applicants should have professional experience in software engineering with a strong focus on application, infrastructure or product security. You will be comfortable programming in one or more modern languages, such as Python, Java, Go, C# or JavaScript, and have experience with source control, automated testing and cloud or distributed systems. Knowledge of secure development principles, vulnerability management, identity and access management, cryptography, web application security and common frameworks such as OWASP is expected. Experience with security tooling, containerisation, infrastructure as code or security automation would be advantageous. We are looking for someone analytical, curious and collaborative, who can balance robust security controls with usability and delivery needs.
