Platform Security Engineer
We are seeking a Platform Security Engineer to strengthen the security, resilience and operational maturity of cloud and platform environments. In this role, you will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, DevOps and compliance teams to embed security throughout the development and delivery lifecycle. You will help design secure platforms, improve preventative controls and ensure that systems are monitored, tested and maintained against evolving threats.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security controls across cloud infrastructure, containerised workloads, identity and access management, networks and CI/CD pipelines. You will automate security checks and policy enforcement using infrastructure-as-code and scripting, integrate security tooling into engineering workflows, and support vulnerability management, threat modelling and secure configuration reviews. You will investigate security events, contribute to incident response and remediation activities, and help establish effective logging, alerting and detection capabilities. You will also assist with security assessments, audit evidence and the creation of clear technical documentation, standards and operational runbooks.
Applicants should have experience in platform, cloud, infrastructure or DevSecOps security, with practical knowledge of at least one major cloud provider, such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. You should be comfortable working with technologies including Kubernetes or other container platforms, Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools, Linux, networking, source control and automated pipelines. Knowledge of security frameworks, secrets management, encryption, vulnerability scanning and identity technologies is highly desirable. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders, explain risk clearly and balance security requirements with delivery objectives. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable equivalent experience are welcome.
