Job Description

About the RoleHopper’s Security team is small by design and consequential by impact- and this role sits at the centre of it. As a Senior Security Engineer, you’ll own the tooling, automation, and proc

Key Highlights

  • Own and evolve our vulnerability management program with a focus on application security — container images, dependencies, code scanning, and runtime detection
  • Build and maintain security tooling that integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows, so security happens automatically rather than as a gate
  • Use AI extensively to write code faster, automate analyses that would otherwise require manual review, and build intelligent tooling that scales beyond what a small team could achieve manually
  • Assess and improve how we leverage available telemetry across our systems
  • Work directly with engineering teams to influence secure development practices — not by writing standards and documents, but by shipping tools and defaults that make the secure path the easy path

Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

  • At least 5 years experience software and/or platform engineering, with the ability to design, build, and maintain production-quality tools
  • Deep experience in application security and vulnerability management — you understand CVEs, dependency risks, container security, and SDLC integration, and you have opinions about what’s worth fixing and what’s noise
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, ideally GCP/GKE or equivalent, with the ability to adapt to our stack
  • A demonstrated habit of using AI tools — coding assistants, LLMs — as a core part of how you build and analyse, not an occasional shortcut
  • A bias toward automation — when you see a repetitive manual task, your instinct is to write a tool, not a runbook
  • Comfort with ambiguity and ownership — you’ll often be the only person on a problem and will need to make judgment calls on priority, approach, and scope without waiting for direction
  • Experience influencing engineering culture around security, knowing how to make developers care without slowing them down
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to articulate our security posture clearly to customers when needed
