Job description

Office requirement: Fully Remote or hybrid in our London offices

At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to play a key role in our Infosec team. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As our Cloud Security Engineer, you'll be instrumental in automating security tasks related to Web Application Firewalls, Vulnerability Management, and Cloud Security Architecture. You will also collaborate closely with the Infrastructure Team to discuss and enhance security measures across our platforms.

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me?

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

1. Comprehensive experience in software development and security engineering
2. Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code, particularly with Terraform
3. Expertise in container deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes
4. In-depth experience with Google Cloud Platform services and security controls
5. Ability to build and operate secure systems at scale
6. Experience configuring and working with security tools like SIEM and Cloud Security
7. Familiarity with Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) and platforms like JumpCloud and Cisco Umbrella
8. Advanced Linux knowledge is a big plus

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

Interview steps

Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required)

First video interview with the hiring managers

Second (and final*) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.

*Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.

What exactly is GWI?

Since launching in 2009 we’ve grown at a healthy pace, and to maintain this growth we need more extraordinary people. Hence this ad. Hence you.

What’s in it for me?

You’ll do the sort of work that got you excited about your career in the first place - not as a cog in a machine, but as an individual whose contribution matters. So gigantic job satisfaction comes as standard, but it’s only part of the package. You’ll also get:

• Tons of days off: 25 days annual leave | Xmas office closures
• More than a great salary: Employee share scheme | Health cash plan | 4% pension plan matching
• Great work-life balance: Flexitime | early Friday finishes | Work-from-anywhere options
• Family-focused flexibility: Carer days | Enhanced parental leave | Health cash plan for your family
• A commitment to YOU: Accredited learning programs | A commitment to mental and physical health | Reward and recognition programs | Career development opportunities
• A commitment to the community: DE&I committee | Volunteer options | 100% donation matching | Payroll giving options
