Description About Engineering at Engine by Starling At Engine by Starling, we don't do "checkbox security"-we build security software. We treat security as a first-class engineering discipline, where the solution to a threat isn't a policy, but a robust, concurrent system written in Go . As a Cloud Security Software Engineer , you will be a hands-on builder responsible for the security architecture of our multi-tenant core banking platform. You'll spend your days architecting and writing Go-based tooling, automating defenses, and ensuring our infrastructure across AWS and GCP is secure by design and compliant by default. The Mission Your mission is to solve complex security problems through software engineering , focusing on three core pillars: Identity & Network Security: Engineering high-performance IAM controls and zero-trust network architectures. You will lead the way in refining edge-defense strategies and trust redirection, ensuring every request is verified and encrypted at scale. Unified Vulnerability Orchestration: Architecting a custom "single pane of glass" for security data. You will build Go-based API integrations and microservices that bridge scanning engines, dependency trackers, and internal portals into a seamless, automated ecosystem. Compliance as Code: Building the automated systems that provide real-time evidence for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001 & PCI. You'll ensure we stay compliant through continuous, automated validation rather than manual overhead. The Team You will be a key member of our growing Security Engineering team, working at the intersection of Infrastructure, Cross-Cutting, and GRC. We operate like a specialized product team: we identify security friction and build the software to eliminate it. You won't work in a silo; you'll collaborate with engineers across the business to deliver a platform that is resilient by default. About You We are looking for Software Engineers who are passionate about the Go ecosystem and want to apply those skills to mission-critical security challenges. Whether you come from a Security Engineering background or you are a Backend Engineer with a "security-first" mindset, we value your ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code. What you'll get to do Engineering Security Tooling: Lead the design and maintenance of our internal security tool suite, written primarily in Go , to automate evidence collection and real-time remediation of security alerts. Infrastructure as Code: Write and peer-review Terraform and custom providers to manage identity and core infrastructure across AWS and GCP. Supply Chain Security: Build automated systems to manage container provenance and integrate security analysis into our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/TeamCity). Cloud Native Defense: Engineer Kubernetes security solutions leveraging Cilium , eBPF, and custom controllers to protect our microservices. Cryptographic Engineering (PKI): Build and maintain our Go-based Certificate Authority (CA) tooling and internal PKI infrastructure. Incident Response: Support the team in automated incident response, building the tools that help us investigate and mitigate threats faster. Requirements What skills are essential: Go Specialist: You are proficient in Go . You understand its concurrency models, testing patterns, and how to build idiomatic, performant services. The Builder Mindset: You find manual work a personal affront. If a task needs to be done twice, you've already started planning the automation for it. Cloud Native: Practical experience with AWS or GCP, ideally managed through Terraform . Container Expertise: You understand Kubernetes internals-from the runtime security to the service mesh. Identity & Networking: Strong understanding of cloud identity models and network protocols. What skills are desirable: Experience with Cilium or eBPF-based security monitoring. Knowledge of Sigstore/Cosign , image provenance, and SBOMs. Familiarity with hardware security modules (HSMs) or advanced cryptography. Cloud-native security certifications (AWS/GCP). Benefits 33 days holiday (including public holidays, which you can take when it works best for you) An extra day's holiday for your birthday Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off 16 hours paid volunteering time a year Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme Life insurance at 4x your salary & group income protection Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care. Partner benefits include discounts with Waitrose, Mr&Mrs Smith and Peloton Generous family-friendly policies Incentives refer a friend scheme Perkbox membership giving access to retail discounts, a wellness platform for physical and mental health, and weekly free and boosted perks Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work, Salary Sacrificed Gym partnerships and Electric Vehicle (EV) leasing

Description At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling Bank, and a year ago we split out as a separate business. Starling Bank has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success. As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering led company and we're looking for someone who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world. Hybrid Working We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. About the Role We are looking for an experienced Penetration Tester who can bridge the gap between deep technical exploitation and real-world business risk. This isn't just about running scanners and handing over a PDF; it's about adversarial empathy, understanding how our systems and services work so you can show us how they may be compromised. While you will sit within the Information Security team, you won't be siloed; you will be "dropped in" to test across various business domains, working side-by-side with Infrastructure Engineers and Software Developers and in collaboration with all parts of the Information Security Team. Your approach is to move beyond finding 'bugs' to helping out teams build inherently resilient systems. As an early member of our internal Pentesting capability, you won't just follow a manual, you will help write it. A key aspect of this role involves: Collaborating with your peers to design a continuous testing framework that evolves with our tech stack. Sharing knowledge with the wider technical faculty to elevate our collective security posture. Additionally, we understand the importance of knowledge and expertise remaining current and you shall support the continued advancement of our penetration testing through research, design and implementation of new solutions, including automation. Responsibilities: End-to-End Assessments: Conducting penetration tests on our core banking platform, focusing on Cloud and Application Security. Code Review: Performing manual secure code reviews to identify logic flaws and security anti-patterns. Threat Modelling: Participate in sessions with different teams to identify design flaws before code is written. Risk Contextualisation: Contextualising technical vulnerabilities into "Real-World Risk" scenarios to demonstrate business impact to non-technical executives and within Engine's risk management framework. Cloud Security: Collaborating with Infrastructure teams to audit and secure cloud configurations. Autonomous Execution: Acting as an independent operator within the team, managing your own testing scope and timelines across different business domains. Remediation: Providing clear, actionable remediation advice that balances security requirements with engineering velocity. Strategic Reporting: Translate complex technical exploits into actionable business risk summaries for non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership. Requirements We're open-minded when it comes to hiring and we care more about aptitude and attitude than specific experience or qualifications. Technical Skills Ideally, we would like: Experience: 5+ years experience in penetration testing with a focus on cloud native infrastructure, web applications, APIs. Tooling: Expert-level proficiency with industry-standard tools and the ability to "go manual" when scanners fail. Cloud Native: Experience with Cloud Security, (AWS/GCP) specifically AWS/EKS. Code Fluency: Ability to conduct code reviews in multiple languages, primarily Java and Go. Mobile: Experience testing Mobile Applications (iOS and Android). Design Review: Proven experience in Threat Modelling. SDLC: You have a working understanding of how software is architected, built and deployed. Scripting: You have the ability to write your own scripts and tooling to aid in pentesting and improve efficiency. Golang, Python etc. Soft Skills Communication: Exceptional written and spoken communication skills: the ability to communicate complex technical issues to engineers and business risk to executives. Proactivity: A self-starting nature. You don't wait for a ticket to find a vulnerability. Got downtime? You're digging into codebases, closing off retesting items and generally getting it done. Independence: Ability to work independently while remaining a collaborative partner to the wider engineering team. Adaptability: Engine is evolving. You are able to evolve and develop as our requirements shift over time. Certifications: Relevant industry certifications (OSCP, OSWE, CCT-APP, CCT-INF etc.) or relevant demonstrable experience. Nice to have: Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience auditing Terraform or CloudFormation templates. DevSecOps: Familiarity with integrating security tooling (DAST/SAST) into CI/CD pipelines. Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you! Our interviews are conversational and we want to get the best from you, so come with questions and be curious.

As a Cloud Security Engineer at Starling, you'll be building and supporting tooling and infrastructure that spans across AWS and GCP supporting our internal operations and interfacing with other teams to deliver the services that support our business. Requirements We are seeking an experienced Cloud Security Engineer who believes that great security is built, not just configured. At Starling, security is a fundamental engineering pillar, and we're looking for a practitioner who thinks like a developer. While we are looking for deep cloud expertise, we are also highly interested in candidates with strong programming skills and a background in software engineering who want to apply those talents to security. This is a hands-on role for a builder who excels at writing clean, scalable code to automate away manual gates. You will work across AWS and GCP, developing the internal tools, guardrails, and services that empower our engineering teams to ship securely without sacrificing speed. Key Responsibilities Engineer Secure Foundations : You will lead the design and implementation of critical security services, with a heavy focus on building robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems and automated, API-driven certificate management workflows. Security-as-Code & Scalability : Leveraging a software-first philosophy, you will develop and maintain high-quality, scalable security tooling and middleware within ECS and Kubernetes environments, ensuring security logic is integrated directly into the deployment pipeline. Collaborative Code Ownership : You will serve as a technical authority in cross-functional code reviews , acting as an engineering peer who helps teams bake security into their services from the first line of code to the final pull request. Proactive System Hardening : You will stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge-proactively identifying vulnerabilities and architecting technical solutions to fortify our global ecosystem. Professional Requirements Demonstrated ability to architect secure, distributed systems with a focus on programmatic IAM and automated, API-driven PKI management . Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in Terraform and a deep commitment to writing clean, maintainable, and production-grade code -ideally in Golang . A test-first mentality toward security, with experience building unit and integration tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure that security guardrails are as reliable as the features they protect. A strong conceptual grasp of cryptographic primitives and hands-on experience securing containerized workloads and service meshes within ECS and Kubernetes . A track record of taking end-to-end ownership of complex technical projects, from initial design docs and RFCs through to deployment and observability. A belief that if it isn't tested, it's broken , and a drive to proactively identify and fix vulnerabilities by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge. Our Team Philosophy The Security Engineering team is a diverse and dynamic group passionate about building secure and resilient systems. We're enthusiastic about security, but we're not about rigid, one-size-fits-all controls. We believe in striking a balance between protecting our systems and empowering our developers to build and innovate. Our goal is to make security a seamless part of the development lifecycle, not a roadblock. If you are someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is excited about finding innovative security solutions, we would love to hear from you.
