Requirements

Proven experience as a Platform engineer, Developer Experience engineer, or similar role focused on enabling other engineers.
Proven experience working with Containers and serverless with Infrastructure as code.
Good knowledge of AWS cloud security best practices and tooling.
Technical knowledge of best practice security for networks, systems, web applications, APIs and databases.
Good understanding of secure software development practices.
Familiarity with security tools and technologies, such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, WAF and vulnerability scanners.
Knowledge of common adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (Mitre Att&ck TTPs).
Knowledge of security standards and frameworks (e.g. ISO27001, NIST CSF, AWS FSBP) is beneficial.
Relevant security certifications (e.g. GCLD, Security+, AWS/GCP Security Certifications) are a plus.
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
Strong communication and collaboration abilities.

What you'll be doing

Design, implement, and maintain secure-by-default platform capabilities (e.g. IAM patterns, network primitives, secrets management, runtime protections, encryption) that are easy for product teams to adopt.
Build automated security checks, guardrails, and visibility that continuously assess risk and reduce the need for manual security audits.
Collaborate with engineering to embed secure software development practices into CI/CD pipelines, templates, and shared tooling (Shift left and Secure by design principles).
Reduce manual work (toil) for the technology and Security Operations Team using automation (e.g. scripting, workflows, tooling).
Ensure platform-level security telemetry, logging, and monitoring are consistent, high-quality, and provided as a standard capability for all teams.
Define and implement platform-wide security use cases (e.g. SIEM detections, alerts, and signals) that scale across teams without bespoke configuration.
Work as part of a virtual SOC with the Security Operations Team to support in security incident response.
Stay up-to-date with the latest security trends and best practices.
Enable secure engineering practices through documentation, examples, platform defaults, and targeted training where appropriate.
Help translate security policies and standards into practical, enforceable platform patterns and guardrails.
