Salary: Up to £80,000 + up to 30% bonus + 18% pension Contract: Permanent – Hybrid (1 day/week in Paddington, London) Sector: Retail & E-commerce We’re helping a household UK brand build a new Security Platform Team. We’re hiring three hands‑on engineers who can advise on PaaS/SaaS security (with occasional implementation), learn new platforms quickly, and explain them clearly to wider tech teams. What you’ll do

Advise on identity & trust: least privilege, zero‑trust, SSO/OIDC/SAML/JWT, RBAC/ABAC/PBAC across Microsoft/Entra & Azure, Google/Workspace and Atlassian (Jira/Confluence). Improve API & database security patterns and baselines (incl. MongoDB Atlas). Build light automation with Terraform (IaC) and Python/Bash to codify baselines and checks; add lightweight controls into CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions). Run access/config reviews, document guardrails/standards, and share knowledge with product, platform and data teams. Consider threats (DDoS, brute force, exfiltration, spoofing) and recommend pragmatic mitigations. Where needed, get hands‑on to implement or harden services and landing zones (e.g. Atlas).

What you’ll bring

Solid platform/IAM security principles and experience advising engineers/stakeholders. Practical Terraform and scripting (Python/Bash) to automate repeatable security tasks. Working knowledge of API security (gateway policies, authN/Z, token handling) and database security (roles/RBAC, network, backups, encryption). Ability to learn new services fast and explain them simply; clear, concise communication.

Nice to have

MongoDB/Atlas security and reference architectures/landing zones. Experience integrating CNAPP/CSPM or SIEM/SOAR signals into advisory workflows. Shape a green‑field Security Platform capability with real impact across dozens of teams. Modern stack, supportive culture, funded training/certifications and clear progression. Competitive package: up to £80k base, 30% bonus, 18% pension.
