We are working with a growing tech-led organisation who are strengthening their security function while building out new AI and automation capabilities. This is a brand-new position sitting across both the Security team and the AI/Automation team, giving you a genuine opportunity to become their go-to specialist for security within AI and cloud platforms.
What makes this role different
*It’s a new headcount — you’ll help shape how cloud and AI security is done.
*Huge investment into technology and a brand-new office with multiple new product launches underway.
*They need someone who can build and deploy, not just advise — this is hands-on engineering
Core Responsibilities
Cloud & Platform Engineering
*Build, deploy and manage secure cloud infrastructure, primarily in Google Cloud Platform.
*Heavy use of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code to deliver scalable, secure cloud services.
*Work with GCP components including BigQuery, helping to support the organisation’s analytical and data platforms.
*Collaborate closely with DevOps, Platform, and AI teams to deliver production-ready solutions.
Security Engineering & AI
*Apply a security mindset to cloud builds, deployments, and automation pipelines.
*Contribute to the design and improvement of the organisation’s cloud security model.
*Work with the AI/Automation team to understand security threats and best practice around emerging AI technologies.
*Educate the wider security team on AI-related risks, vulnerabilities, and use cases.
Threat Detection & Response
*Support monitoring, detection, and incident response within cloud environments.
*Help mature vulnerability management processes and security playbooks.
Compliance & Risk
*Ensure cloud services align with recognised frameworks (e.g. ISO27001, SOC2, PCI, GDPR).
*Assist with risk assessments for new systems, cloud services, and third-party integrations.
Cross-Team Collaboration
*Act as the bridge between the Security team and the AI team.
*Work closely with Engineering, Legal, and Technology teams on secure delivery.
What They’re Looking For
Must-Have Skills
*Strong experience with any major cloud platform (GCP, AWS or Azure) — with willingness to develop deeper GCP knowledge over time.
*Solid knowledge of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.
*Ability to build and deploy cloud solutions independently.
*Understanding of cloud security principles: IAM, network security, encryption, logging/monitoring, secure pipelines.
*Scripting skills (Python, Bash or PowerShell).
Who This Would Suit
This role is perfect for someone who:
*Comes from a Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or DevOps background.
*Enjoys security but doesn’t want a pure SOC/blue-team role.
*Wants to work on new AI initiatives and become the security SME for AI within the company.
*Likes hybrid working and being part of a modern, forward-thinking tech environment.
Key Benefits & Perks
*Permanent Four-Day Week – Enjoy a full-time salary while working just four days (usually Monday or Friday off).
*Hybrid Working – Flexibility to balance office and home working.
*Annual Bonus – Up to 10% performance-related bonus.
*Strong Pension Plan – 8% employer contribution (2% employee).
