The Role
This is fundamentally a software engineering role for someone who understands security.

* Maintain security data products including SBOM, asset inventory, and SIEM
* Identify and trial new security tooling, particularly in the AI space
* Monitor, triage, and escalate security threats; document incidents and indicators of compromise
* Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to embed secure-by-design practices
* Contribute to architectural decisions and help build scalable, cost-optimised solutions

Essential
* Strong Python development experience — this is the primary language for the role
* Solid AWS knowledge, ideally including security-focused services
* Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Linux environments
* An interest in and understanding of security principles — OWASP, threat modelling, vulnerability management
* Comfortable working with data to validate and support decisions
Desirable
* Experience with SQL and security data products
* Exposure to AI/ML tooling or prompt security
* Security certification (AWS Security Specialty, CISSP, CEH, or similar)
