- Diagnose production issues that cut across platforms, services and security controls.
- Work with engineering teams to make secure approaches straightforward to adopt.
- Take ownership of the reliability and operational quality of what you deliver.
What You Bring:
- Strong engineering judgement across security, platform, infrastructure or identity domains.
- Practical experience automating cloud or production environments.
- Good working knowledge of infrastructure as code and modern delivery pipelines.
- Scripting or software engineering capability using Python, Go, Bash or a comparable language.
- Familiarity with container platforms, cloud services and secrets-management tooling.
- An understanding of authentication and authorisation concepts such as OIDC, JWT and workload identity.
- A pragmatic approach that balances security, usability and delivery speed.
- The ability to investigate root causes rather than repeatedly treating symptoms.
- Strong backround in financial servcies companies
The Package:
