More:

Were hiring an Enterprise Security Architect to work between architecture and engineering on a major on-premises private cloud build. This is not a public-cloud security role: were shaping the security foundations of brand-new private cloud infrastructure using open-source software stacks and modern platform-engineering practices. The role is embedded full-time within an engineering-led programme as a dedicated security partner, working directly with architects and engineers to turn threats into mitigations, automated tests, hardened configurations and auditable evidence.
