Responsibilities

Help define and execute the Holland & Barrett cloud security strategy, partnering with platform and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams to build robust infrastructure that supports our business. Establish platform perimeter security by implementing controls at ingress and egress points, including creating and maintaining an edge network with a Web Application Firewall (WAF), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection, and a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Establish an access control baseline focusing on the principle of least privilege and segregation of duties. Monitor and enforce these controls once roles and permissions are set. Design, implement, and maintain security controls to prevent, detect, and remediate insecure configurations, including defining and disseminating secure AWS/infrastructure baselines. Own the development and maintenance of tailored security standards and guidelines, creating reusable resources for various development teams. Establish and manage AWS security services, including certificate authorities, encryption services, insecure configuration scanners, and security control canaries.

We support flexibility and productivity of our employees by hybrid working arrangements.
