About the Role

The embedded Security Engineering team exists to make that happen. As a Security Engineer in the team, you will embed within delivery teams, learn their codebases and architectures and take responsibility for designing and implementing robust security fixes in production systems. This includes writing production-quality code, participating fully in planning and delivery and ensuring solutions align with performance and reliability requirements. Beyond fixing individual issues, you will help identify recurring patterns, drive improvements that reduce systemic risk and leave teams better equipped to build and operate secure systems over time.

Responsibilities

Embedding with product or platform teams to design and implement fixes for identified security issues.
Learning unfamiliar systems and codebases quickly, contributing effectively to existing delivery processes.
Writing high-quality, maintainable code that addresses security issues without introducing unnecessary complexity or performance regression.
Owning security work from investigation through to delivery and follow-up.
Ensuring fixes are understood, tested and safely deployed.
Identifying patterns in security issues and contributing to broader improvements where appropriate.
Collaborating with experienced engineers to reach well-reasoned solutions, incorporating feedback and differing perspectives.
Communicating clearly about issues, solutions and trade-offs with engineers and stakeholders.

Requirements

Strong experience delivering production code in complex software systems.
Deep understanding of security concepts and common failure modes in modern infrastructure and applications.
A proven ability to learn unfamiliar technology stacks quickly and work effectively within them.
Experience fixing security issues in existing systems, rather than only identifying or advising on them.
Good engineering judgement, including the ability to balance security, performance, reliability and delivery constraints.
A proven ability to work productively with other deeply technical engineers, contributing to decisions through reasoning, evidence and delivery.
Clear communication skills and a pragmatic, adaptive and collaborative mindset.
