The Opportunity

We are looking for a DevSecOps Architect to join our Information Security team. In this role, you will be a collaborative and strategic partner to our engineering teams, helping design the automation that enables us to ship secure code at velocity. You will advocate for a "Security by Design" culture, ensuring that robust security practices are seamlessly integrated into the fabric of our product development processes.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We believe that different perspectives and backgrounds are what make our company and our products stronger.

What You'll Be Doing

Your goal is to architect and build a frictionless security environment where the secure path is the easiest path for our developers.

• Architect Automated Security Pipelines: Partner with the Platform team to design and implement advanced automated security controls (SAST, DAST, SCA) within our CI/CD pipelines, providing engineers with rapid, high-fidelity feedback.

• Infrastructure and Policy as Code: You will guide the security architecture for our AWS environment by treating infrastructure as software enabling secure and scalable deployments and ensure automated compliance.

• Threat Detection Engineering: Engineer advanced threat detection capabilities by integrating platform logs and event data (including RabbitMQ) into our SIEM (Google Security Operations). You will develop and tune YARA-L rules to proactively identify and respond to threats.

• Collaborative Design and Threat Modelling: Partner with engineering squads during the design phase of new features, facilitating collaborative threat modelling sessions to build security in from the start.

• Developer Enablement: Create feedback loops that deliver security insights directly into developer workflows (e.g., automated PR comments), enabling teams to self-remediate and learn continuously.

What You Will Bring

We are looking for a pragmatic architect who combines technical expertise with a passion for enabling engineering excellence. You do not need to meet every single point below to apply. If you are passionate about security automation and modern, AI-driven engineering practices, we want to hear from you.

Core Skills and Experience

• Cloud Security Architecture: Experience designing secure, scalable architectures on cloud platforms. (We use AWS, but if you have strong experience in GCP or Azure, we are happy to support your transition).

• Infrastructure as Code: Experience securing Terraform codebases and building secure modules for other teams to use.

• CI/CD Orchestration: Experience with modern pipelines (e.g., CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or GitLab) and integrating security steps.

• Automation Engineering: Ability to write script and code (e.g., Python, Typescript) to build integrations and tooling.

• Modern Detection Engineering: An interest in or experience with modern detection engineering (e.g., Google Chronicle, YARA-L, or similar SIEM tools).

• Architecture Patterns: Familiarity with securing API-first and Event-Driven Architectures.

• Incident Response and Operations: Participate in the team's on-call rotation, including out-of-hours coverage to support platform availability and security. We strive to keep our rotation sustainable and low-noise to respect your work-life balance. You will assist in troubleshooting critical issues, lead the response for security-specific incidents. Crucially, we believe in a blameless culture, so you will drive post-mortems focused on learning and preventing recurrence

• Ambiguity: You thrive in ambiguous and fast-changing environments, and know how to make progress even when requirements are evolving.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with automated policy enforcement.

• Familiarity with functional programming concepts or Elixir (our core backend language).

• Familiarity with securing AI/ML pipelines or services.

• Experience implementing SCA (Software Composition Analysis).

• A pragmatic approach: You focus on high-impact security wins that support business agility rather than "security for security's sake."

About Certifications We value practical experience and a willingness to learn over specific acronyms. While certifications like CISSP, CISM, or AWS Security are a bonus, they are not required to join our team.

Benefits

• Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year

• Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support

• Hybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month

• Work-from-anywhere scheme - you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year

• Space to connect: Beyond the desk, we make time for weekly catch-ups, seasonal celebrations, and have a kitchen that’s always stocked!
