About this role

JET's Information Security organisation protects a technology-led, cloud-native platform serving millions of customers across multiple markets. JET's building security into the foundations of how we design, engineer, and operate our cloud-native platforms at scale, across our technology organisation.

You'll work hands-on within JET's global Security Engineering team, turning security policy into code and every engineer into a security-conscious one. These are some of the key components to the position:

• Design, build and deploy security controls and guardrails across JET's cloud-native platforms, including AI security solutions protecting customer-facing products.
• Run password audits, network and web application vulnerability scans, and intrusion detection to identify and close gaps before they're exploited.
• Automate security processes as code, embedding compliance and IaC checks into CI/CD pipelines shipping over 100 times daily.
• Conduct risk audits and assessments, translating findings into practical recommendations for engineering teams.
• Monitor and analyse system access logs, flagging anomalies and supporting incident response.
• Plan and test security backup and disaster recovery processes to keep JET's platforms resilient.
• Partner with 1st and 2nd line InfoSec teams as customers of your solutions, translating technical work for product and engineering audiences.

What will you bring to the team?

• Practical experience writing and deploying applications or tooling into cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure or GCP).
• Strong, demonstrable skills deploying AI security solutions, guardrails, and defences for AI systems used by customers.
• Proficiency in at least one of C#, Python, Java, PowerShell or Bash, with a track record of automating security processes.
• Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code and Compliance as Code practices.
• Comfort operating in Agile, DevOps-driven teams with frequent, continuous delivery.
• Confident stakeholder management, translating security risk and technical decisions into language product and engineering teams act on.
• A collaborative, evangelist mindset, building trust so others choose secure defaults rather than having security imposed on them.
