We currently operate a hybrid model which requires staff to work onsite 50% of the time, subject to role requirements & regular review. While flexible working requests will be considered, not all patterns are suitable for all roles. We believe this balanced approach supports flexibility and protects our culture, making collaboration and communication easier, building stronger relationships and team cohesion, and supporting peer learning.  We reserve discretion on reasonable notice to change this approach either generally or for specific individuals or teams.

We’re looking for a Cyber Security Engineer to help improve application security across the FT’s cloud-native technology estate.

This is a hands-on role focused on making secure engineering easier for product, platform and software engineering teams.

Application security experience is essential for this role.

This includes working with SAST, software composition analysis, secret scanning, vulnerability management and secure coding guidance so that security findings are clear, actionable and owned by the right teams.

You’ll work closely with engineers to support practical threat modelling, triage application vulnerabilities, improve security playbooks and help teams remediate issues in a pragmatic way.

You do not need to be a deep AWS or cloud security specialist, but some exposure to AWS, cloud security or infrastructure-as-code security would be useful.
