What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate takes full ownership of platform security from day one. You have built SCBs before, know how to drive remediation across engineering teams, and can hold your own in conversations with both developers and senior stakeholders. You'll be joining a mature programme and are expected to sustain, challenge, and improve it.
