About the role

We're searching for a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to architect and lead our security strategy across our entire technology stack. You'll work hand-in-hand with our development and data engineering teams to embed security into everything we build — from AWS environments to AI-powered features our customers interact with daily. This is a hands-on security architect role where you'll shape how we design, build, and operate secure systems from the ground up, with a particular focus on emerging security challenges around LLMs and AI in production. You'll own end-to-end security architecture across our cloud infrastructure, applications, data pipelines, and AI systems. Your responsibilities span threat modelling, security assessments, identity and access management, application security practices, data protection strategies, AI/LLM security, and building robust monitoring and incident response capabilities. We need someone who can drive a DevSecOps culture by embedding security into CI/CD pipelines while mentoring developers and making security an enabler rather than a blocker. You'll advise leadership on risk posture and compliance obligations while working collaboratively in an agile environment. We offer a competitive salary and equity package, flexible and remote working arrangements, and a generous learning and development budget including conference and certification support. You'll have access to the latest AI tools and cloud infrastructure, and most importantly, a seat at the table — security is a strategic priority here, not an afterthought. We're looking for someone with 6+ years of cybersecurity experience, including at least 2 years focused on cloud and application security architecture, with deep AWS expertise, application security knowledge, and strong communication skills to work effectively across technical and executive audiences.
