This will involve staying close to emerging security developments and ensuring changes to processes and the technology landscape are reflected in the organisation's approach to security and resilience.

Location

• You have experience of working directly with software engineering teams in designing new technical solutions to meet security requirements in products
• You have experience with control automation via code (e.g. Python, Go)
• You have a strong technical background, with experience in distributed systems, cloud security and related technologies
