💥 Your Impact

Your role will play a major role in our success because…→ We look after people’s benefits and personal data in several countries, so trust is at the heart of what we do. As we grow, you’ll make sure our security grows with us. You’ll bring deep security expertise to DevX, the team that builds the platform and paved road for our engineers, and you’ll make the secure path the easiest path for everyone.

You’ll know you’re successful when, after 90 days, you’ve…-> Shipped your first secure-by-default workflow for production operations, with access that’s controlled, auditable and easy to use-> Shaped how we run security in our delivery pipeline: priorities, response targets and automation-> Led a resilience exercise that sharpened our recovery playbooks

How we’ll measure success:

• Main KPI 1: More production operations running through secure, self-service and observable tooling

• Main KPI 2: Security findings caught early in the delivery pipeline and resolved quickly, with automation doing the heavy lifting

• Main KPI 3: Business continuity we can count on, with clear recovery targets that we test regularly

• Secondary KPI 1: Edge protection that adapts to our applications and keeps the user experience smooth

• Secondary KPI 2: Engineers adopt the security guardrails and are happy with them

Let’s be real – here’s what makes this role challenging:

• You’re a platform engineer first. Security is your main focus, but you’re a full member of DevX. You’ll share the team’s wider work: infrastructure, CI/CD, developer tooling and experience, observability and incident troubleshooting. Expect a real share of your time on work that isn’t about security.

• The challenge is to improve our security posture while improving developer experience, raising security awareness across engineering teams, and making the secure path the easiest path.

• A big part of the work is delivering meaningful, production-grade improvements without slowing developer throughput or impacting platform users. This requires clear prioritisation, safe rollout patterns, and tight feedback loops so we can move quickly while minimising operational risk and unnecessary friction.

👤 You

• Owned application or platform security in a production cloud environment, with clear examples of impact

• Strong cloud security fundamentals: IAM and identity plumbing (SSO/OIDC), secrets management, and least privilege in practice

• Strong platform engineering across infrastructure as code, CI/CD with security built in, and observability

• Strong experience running Kubernetes in production, including workload security and access controls

• Cloud networking and edge: VPC boundaries, DNS, TLS, load balancing, CDN and WAF tuning

• Reliability in practice: SLOs, on-call, threat modelling, incident command, and postmortems

• Backup, restore and disaster recovery designed and actually exercised

• Treats the platform as a product: measures adoption and developer experience

• Uses AI tooling to accelerate engineering work, and builds it into the platform (agents, MCP, assisted operations)

• Reads and writes code well enough to fix problems, not just report them

• Fluent English required

Nice-to-have

• ISO 27001, SOC 2 or DORA experience

• Fintech, payroll, or other regulated-data background

• Detection engineering or SIEM experience

• PostgreSQL operations and safe schema migrations

• Elixir, or comfort picking up a functional language

• Cloud cost awareness and FinOps practices

• Certifications welcome, but practical evidence weighs more

🧬 Your DNA

• Enabler, not a blocker: you make security the default through automation, paved-road patterns and self-service guardrails

• Builder at heart: you’d rather ship the fix than file the report, and you work alongside engineers to raise the bar together

• Pragmatic about risk: you weigh costs and benefits, explain trade-offs clearly, and prefer small, safe changes that add up

• Written-first communicator: you write decisions down and share context early so others can move fast

• Deeply curious: you dig into hard problems and incidents, then turn what you learn into tooling and better defaults

You’ll probably find this frustrating if…

• You see security as a gate to guard rather than a path to pave

• You prefer auditing and reporting to building and fixing things hands-on

• You measure progress in policies written rather than in real improvements

• You do your best work with a ready-made roadmap rather than shaping one yourself
