Security is foundational to this mission and must be delivered in a way that supports how our engineering teams build and operate complex systems at scale.

  • Experience validating the effectiveness of security controls through both manual and automated approaches
  • Engineering experience, particularly in building automation and tooling to streamline team output
  • Proficiency in development and scripting tools commonly used in DevSecOps, including Python, Jenkins and Ansible.
  • Relevant security certifications with OSCP required and CRT or OSEP desirable
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with an emphasis on clear and concise written output

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
