Role Details

Who are we?
Look at the latest headlines and you will see something Ki insures. Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.

Ki’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.

Ki is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.

Ki’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.

What you will be working on
We are seeking a Staff Application Security Engineer to join the team. In this role you’ll be working closely with Engineering, SRE, and Product teams to help embed risk-conscious technical security controls in our services and products, development workflows and activities.

You’ll act as a subject matter expert on application security, run Threat Modelling exercises with engineering teams, and work on cloud native security tooling, automating our work, and leveraging infrastructure as code.

Bringing your experience of writing and reviewing code, with a strong interest in security, you will facilitate and manage security testing workflows in the SDLC with code and runtime security scanners and vulnerability testing tools, whilst enabling cloud security governance (AWS, GCP) with security monitoring, cloud security posture management, and vulnerability management.

This role sits in the Security Architecture and Engineering (SANE) team within our Cyber Security department. We’re a small team of cyber security experts enabling Ki’s business, product, and engineering teams to build and operate our platforms securely. If you enjoy thinking outside the box, solving problems, and have a curious nature, then this is your opportunity!

Our culture
Inclusion & Diversity are at the heart of our business at Ki. We recognize that diversity in age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, thought, and social background bring richness to our working environment. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, or who you love, we believe you should be yourself.

You’ll receive a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to ensure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.
