The Opportunity

This is a hands-on security engineering role focused on securing real AI systems as they’re being built and rolled out across the business.

• Experience working in DevOps / DevSecOps environments
• Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS or GCP)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and secure deployment practices
• Comfortable doing threat modelling (STRIDE or similar approaches)
• Exposure to AI is a bonus – interest in learning is more important

Why This Role

• Work on real AI systems, not theoretical security frameworks
• Strong focus on building and implementing, not just advising
• Be part of a major AI rollout across the business
• Access to modern tech stack and evolving AI tooling
• Strong engineering culture with close collaboration across teams
• Genuine work-life balance (no expectation beyond ~5pm)
• Clear pathway to a long-term / permanent opportunity
