Join our community.

Come and help us manage security at a holistic, product level and enable our teams to know they've built secure products from the outset! We're building strong guardrails, making significant use of automation and data to ensure that millions of customers are protected.

Beyond guardrails though, there are countless individual decisions that software engineers make that can impact the security of our customer applications. This role will support our Digital CoE by driving good practice throughout software engineering and ensuring the adoption of the right controls throughout the SDLC.

This is multi-team effort, so you will be working closely with our SRE team who provide the service wrap around Github, our architecture teams who are designing new solutions and several other CISO teams. The BISO team own the overall security relationship with our business domains but expect to work closely with Security Architecture & Engineering, Vulnerability Management and our CERT teams too.

The difference you'll make:

• Scaling security practices to large numbers of project teams and developers
• Engaging with colleagues in CISO as well as development teams to make sure we address security from both sides
• Advising engineering teams and collaborating to solve application security issues
• Guiding developers, security champions and other members of product teams on secure coding practices and assisting with code-reviews
• Embedding threat modelling into product delivery processes
• Analysing security data to influence and shape product security strategy

What you'll bring:

• Demonstrable security experience with Java applications
• Proficient in scripting or automation development. Python, bash, Golang or C#
• Mentor and support other CISO functions, and product and platform developers
• Expert understanding of CI/CD (Github Actions as we migrate from Jenkins)
• Experience securing containerised workloads
• Application security as it overlaps with AWS services (e.g. Lambda, IAM)

It would also be nice for you to have:

• Kubernetes experience
• Tooling exposure: Sysdig Enterprise, HP Fortify, Sonarqube
• A flair for visual storytelling to bring people along on the security journey
