Senior Security Engineer - Agent Workflow
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help design, build and operate secure workflows for intelligent agents and automated systems. This is an influential role for an experienced security professional who can combine strong technical expertise with practical judgement, helping to ensure that agent-based capabilities are resilient, well governed and safe to use at scale.
You will work closely with software engineering, infrastructure, product and risk teams to identify threats, define security controls and embed secure development practices throughout the delivery lifecycle. Your responsibilities will include designing security architectures, reviewing agent workflows and integrations, assessing permissions and data flows, and developing safeguards against misuse, prompt injection, unauthorised access, data leakage and other emerging risks.
You will also create and maintain threat models, security standards and technical guidance, while supporting security testing, incident response and remediation activities. The role will involve improving monitoring and detection, automating security checks, contributing to risk assessments and helping establish measurable controls for the safe deployment of agentic systems. You will be expected to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and to influence decisions through sound analysis.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security engineering, application security, cloud security or a related discipline, along with a strong understanding of identity and access management, secure software development, networking and modern cloud platforms. Experience securing APIs, distributed systems, automation pipelines or machine learning applications would be highly valuable. Familiarity with agent architectures, large language model risks, policy enforcement and security evaluation methods is desirable.
You should be comfortable working independently in a changing environment, investigating complex problems and balancing security with usability and delivery needs. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to turn ambiguous risks into clear, actionable recommendations. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome.
