Job description

No PowerPoint security. You design it, build it and automate it. For a newly signed enterprise environment of serious scale, we are looking for a principal who thinks in Terraform, treats infrastructure as code as the default and makes technical decisions others would rather create a steering committee for.

The role at a glance

Would you rather read a ten page job description, or have a real conversation? We believe in the second option, so we keep our vacancies short.

You will help shape a new customer environment with exceptional complexity and scale. You set the technical direction across security engineering, cloud and automation, making sure architecture does not end as a diagram but as secure, repeatable and maintainable infrastructure.

You are looking for:

• An environment where Terraform and infrastructure as code are foundational
• Complex cloud and security challenges without a ready made playbook
• Technical ownership, strong engineers around you and room to define standards

What you get based on your knowledge and experience:

• Compensation aligned with principal level impact and technical depth
• Significant autonomy within a new and business critical enterprise environment
• The freedom to shape tooling, architecture and engineering practices

About the organisation:

• A deeply technical environment where availability, security and automation come together
• Teams that prefer building over meetings and manage complex infrastructure through code
• A growing organisation scaling its security engineering capability after signing its largest customer to date
