The posting

The UK Security Operations (SecOps) team in Google Public Sector delivers, operates and secures private cloud services. We aim to provide the flexibility, reliability and scalability of public cloud for customers with exceptionally high security requirements that can only be met in a private cloud environment. We deliver and operate these private cloud deployments for the most critical customers, helping scale, secure and maintain the deployment whilst working closely with Google product teams to continually improve our technology.

As a Security Platform Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, building and managing cloud-native security platforms with a strong emphasis on Kubernetes based environments. You'll be at the intersection of security and engineering, developing scalable tooling, automating security controls and enabling robust detection and response capabilities across our cloud infrastructure. This is a hands on engineering centric role that requires deep technical expertise in cloud environments, Kubernetes security and platform automation. You'll work closely with Incident Response Engineers and platform teams to ensure that security is seamlessly integrated into our infrastructure and operational workflows. This role will require participation in a rotating on call schedule outside of core business hours and over the weekend to ensure security incidents can be swiftly resolved.

  • Experience with technical troubleshooting and scripting languages such as Python, Go, or Bash.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD).
  • Eligibility to obtain UK Developed Vetting (DV) security clearance; British Citizenship is required for this role.

Preferred Qualifications (PQs)

  • Certifications in Security (e.g., GSEC, CISSP, CISM, OSCP).
  • Experience with Kubernetes threat detection and anomaly detection.
  • Familiarity with service mesh security concepts (e.g., Istio, Linkerd) and workload identity.
  • Background in detection engineering, logging pipeline development, or SIEM tuning in containerised environments.
  • Contributions to security-focused open-source projects or internal security platform tooling.
  • Current and active UK Developed Vetting (DV) Security Clearance.

Benefits

  • Salary: £70,000 to £100,000 per annum
  • 25 days holiday increasing annually up to a maximum of 30 days
  • Support for flexible working
  • 2 paid charity days a year

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.
