About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Software Engineer to join a Strategic Engineering team within Cyber Security. This role is ideal for a strong software engineer who enjoys building production-grade applications, Back End services, APIs, developer tooling, and automation solutions that support enterprise-scale cyber security and data platforms.
This is a software engineering-focused position with significant hands‑on development responsibilities. It is not a traditional infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering role.

- Apply software engineering best practices including SOLID principles, design patterns, refactoring, and peer code reviews.
- Develop scalable, maintainable, and highly testable systems and services.
- Implement automated testing, including unit, integration, and behavioural testing.
- Produce clear technical documentation and contribute to engineering standards and best practices.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
- Deploy, support, and operate services within AWS and/or Azure environments.
- Automate platform provisioning through Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
- Work with cloud networking concepts and secure service integrations.
- Support engineering platforms used across security and data-focused teams.
DevOps & SRE
- Build, maintain, and optimise CI/CD pipelines.
- Implement monitoring, alerting, logging, and observability solutions.
- Troubleshoot production incidents and contribute to operational support activities.
- Continuously improve service reliability, security, scalability, and performance.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Strong software engineering background with significant hands‑on development experience.
- Proven experience building production systems using Go, Python, Java, or C#.
- Experience designing and building APIs, microservices, and Back End services.
- Strong understanding of software architecture, design principles, and engineering best practices.
- Experience with automated testing approaches including TDD, BDD, unit testing, and integration testing.
- Experience working with AWS and/or Azure cloud platforms.
- Knowledge of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code methodologies.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and supporting production environments.
Desirable Skills
- Experience with Kong API Gateway.
- Exposure to Cyber Security engineering environments.
- Knowledge of Databricks, Spark, or Data Lake technologies.
- Experience supporting Data Engineering platforms.
- Understanding of API security concepts including OAuth2, JWT, and mTLS.
- Knowledge of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and observability practices.
