hyperexponential - Senior Security Engineer

• Secured AWS cloud environments hands-on: using Cloud Security tooling to find common weaknesses, and fixing them yourself through infrastructure and code changes. Cloud Security experience is required. • Secured containerised workloads and infrastructure-as-code, catching issues before they reach production. • Experience working with SAST, SCA, and secret scanning tools, including triaging findings, filtering out false positives, and partnering with engineering teams to get real fixes shipped • Supported compliance efforts such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or GDPR by implementing and evidencing technical controls. • Used AI to improve your own security work and helped others adopt it safely, with a practical understanding of AI-specific risks such as data leakage, prompt injection, and agents and integrations with excessive permissions. • Spotted and addressed non-technical risks, such as weak processes, risky behaviours, and gaps between teams, that can undermine technical security. • Discussed security in depth with engineering teams, explaining complex concepts clearly and concisely and influencing teams through to implementation. • Taken ownership of security projects and initiatives and driven them to completion independently. • YOU'RE UNLIKELY TO THRIVE HERE IF • You prefer to advise from the sidelines rather than writing code and making the infrastructure changes yourself. • You see security as a gatekeeping function rather than a service to the teams you support, whose adoption and trust determine your success. • You'd rather wait for direction than take ownership of issues, follow them through to resolution, and manage the correspondence around them. • 4.
