About the role

Motorway is rapidly growing its technology team and business, and we are looking for a Developer Experience Security Engineer to help enable a secure, scalable, and frictionless developer experience across Motorway.. We have recently built and rolled out a new container platform on top of AWS Fargate, and are currently enhancing our observability, reliability, and developer-focused tooling. We will continue to build and evolve secure, standardised platform capabilities that reduce cognitive load and help teams ship faster with confidence.

- Ensure platform-level security telemetry, logging, and monitoring are consistent, high-quality, and provided as a standard capability for all teams.

- Define and implement platform-wide security use cases (e.g. SIEM detections, alerts, and signals) that scale across teams without bespoke configuration

- Work as part of a virtual SOC with the Security Operations Team to support in security incident response.

- Stay up-to-date with the latest security trends and best practices.

- Enable secure engineering practices through documentation, examples, platform defaults, and targeted training where appropriate.

- Help translate security policies and standards into practical, enforceable platform patterns and guardrails..

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

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
