Security Engineer

This is a crucial role where your understanding of people, systems, and security will allow you to advocate for and influence best practices in a diverse free thinking organisation while facilitating smooth development and implementation processes. It is a unique opportunity to help secure an innovative organisation where feedback is direct and honest. The Security Engineer will be advising Infra Engineering and IT teams on security topics and supporting their work from the security standpoint — maintaining things practical using a risk-based approach, organising and performing penetration testing of our infrastructure, and collaborating with external parties on those tests. The role involves picking tools, methods, and approaches to improve the security stance of the company, writing and enabling adoption of company-wide security standards and guidelines, as well as implementing tools and automation to enable their deployment. They will also be mentoring other team members on all matters related to security and IT and infrastructure engineering.
