Staff Software Engineer

Staff Software Engineer - Security

£120,000 - £135,000 | UK / Ireland Based - Fully Remote

Most security engineering roles ask you to bolt scanning onto someone else's platform. This one asks you to build the trust layer that the software industry runs on.

We're hiring on behalf of a $100M Backed Security Startup - a fully managed, multi-tenant service that multi-language, container, and OS ecosystems already trust to build, secure, and ship software at Fortune 500 scale.

What you'll work on

You'll build the foundations of the platform's security layer - turning industry-standard security feeds into fast, reliable pipelines that power policy, trust, and visibility for customers shipping software at global scale. Concretely, that means:

• Designing and shipping features for their enterprise management platform and the APIs that sit underneath it
• Integrating and maintaining high-fidelity security data feeds that drive automated policy enforcement
• Working directly with product, design, and customer success to solve genuinely hard supply chain security problems
• Owning quality end-to-end - testing, monitoring, and sustainable engineering habits at production scale
• Shipping several times a day, in a team that measures itself on customer value, not ticket velocity

Who we're looking for

8+ years building, testing, and maintaining complex distributed systems in production. Strong hands-on experience with Python (Django) or Go, Rust is a plus.

You likely have:

• Solid knowledge of AWS and the surrounding stack - Lambda, ECS, Postgres, ClickHouse, S3, Kinesis, Kafka, Terraform
• Real familiarity with software supply chain security, vulnerability scanning, or policy-as-code.
• Comfort with container runtimes and continuous integration
• A low-ego, collaborative streak and a genuine bias for shipping early and iterating

What you get

• £120,000 - £135,000 + Sizeable Equity
• Private Healthcare
• Pension Contributions (8% Matched)
• Generous PTO and flexible, family-friendly working policies
• Professional development budget for conferences, training, and certifications
• A seat shaping a Hypergrowth VC backed company from the inside, with all-hands offsites and a genuinely collaborative team
