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-and two years ago we split out as a separate business. Starling 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 have 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 people who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world. Our purpose is underpinned by five values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness. 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 seeking a senior, highly adaptable Principal Security Programme Manager & Technical Lead to serve as a key technical partner to our Business Information Security Officer (BISO).

You will bridge executive security vision with practical technical delivery-guiding core security initiatives that intersect with the CTO Office while collaborating daily with engineering, SecOps, threat and vulnerability management, and broader group functions. You will also champion secure innovation, ensuring our security posture keeps pace with emerging technologies like AI while embedding technical compliance across key financial standards.

Responsibilities Roadmap Architecture & Scaling: Partner directly with the BISO to evaluate, refine, and drive the security roadmap, proactively proposing strategic updates to support rapid business growth. Cross-Functional Execution: Lead core security projects, aligning initiatives across the CTO Office, engineering leads, SecOps, and threat/vulnerability management. AI Security Readiness: Define and roll out practical security guardrails, risk assessments, and safe-use practices for AI/LLM adoption across engineering and business units. Compliance & Governance Alignment: Ensure technical security controls natively satisfy key regulatory frameworks-including ISO 27001, ISO42001, SOC 1/2, PCI DSS & 3DS, CSA C-STAR, and DORA. Pragmatic Technical Advisory: Translate high-level security requirements into actionable, practical guidance for engineering teams without creating delivery bottlenecks. Hands-on Delivery: Drive critical technical work streams directly when needed, taking full ownership of project milestones from inception through to operational handover. Requirements Knowledge & Technical Expertise Fintech or Scale-Up: Deep background in fintech security principles, regulatory demands, and scaling controls within fast-paced environments. AI Security & Innovation: Practical understanding of security considerations surrounding AI integration, data privacy, and model risk management. Frameworks & Compliance: Hands-on experience mapping technical controls to ISO 27001, ISO42001, SOC 1/2, PCI DSS & 3DS, CSA C-STAR, and DORA. Programme Delivery: Strong project and programme management skills, with a proven track record of bringing complex security initiatives to completion. Technical Breadth: Strong technical foundation across SecOps, threat & vulnerability management, and secure engineering. Behaviours & Competencies Influence & Autonomy: Exceptional interpersonal and stakeholder management skills; highly self-directed and capable of building cross-functional consensus collaboratively. Strategic & Operational Flexibility: Ability to shift seamlessly between strategic planning and hands-on technical execution. Pragmatic Problem-Solving: A clear focus on enabling business growth and engineering velocity through balanced, practical security controls. Preferred Qualifications Prior experience operating autonomously as an TPM or Technical Lead in a fast paced environment Experience with cloud security architectures. Industry certifications in security, privacy, or compliance (e.g., CISSP).

Lead Development Engineer Defence R&D (defence experience NOT required) Norfolk, on-site £65k-£85k (with some flexibility above and below that for exceptional candidates) Want to lead in a complex R&D department, leading the delivery of brand new projects that will define the future of defence industry products? We are able to consider candidates who are already running teams from a senior management capacity, or those who are senior members of technical staff, and ready to step up in to such a management role over time. Defence experience isn't required, so if you've fancied moving into the sector, this is a strong way in. What is required is an understanding of complex development projects, with at least some understanding of regulatory concepts. You will be leading an R&D team who work three to five years ahead of live programmes, working out what the next customer requirement will be before anyone's asked for it. Small team, hard technical problems. They're growing it now, and this is one of the key leadership roles they're creating to do that. The role You'll lead the electro-mechanical side of the department (electronics, mechanical, controls engineers and technicians) and help keep things running day to day. For the right person, this can grow into the director's number two. How senior the role is, and how it splits between hands-on technical work and running the team, is genuinely flexible and will be shaped around the right person. A design engineer ready for their first leadership step, a senior engineer stepping up, or an engineering manager who still likes to stay close to the technical detail could all fit. Either way, you'll have oversight of design decisions, integration and prototype builds, taking new capability from early concept to something engineering can put into production with confidence. What you'll do will be built around your own skillset and what you can offer, but will encompass: Day-to-day running of the department, working closely with project management, stepping in when they're away Line-manage the electro-mechanical engineers and technicians: priorities, development, standards, and the admin that comes with it Oversee the physical design approach, key interfaces and design trade-offs, hands-on as much as suits you and the team Lead integration across mechanisms, electronics, sensors, actuators and controls Lead prototype builds, bring-up and fault-finding, and support trials and customer demos Agree how designs will be verified and validated before testing starts Keep oversight of software where it affects integration and programme outcomes Hand mature designs over to engineering cleanly, and feed lessons back into R&D Bring the right amount of structure to reviews, planning and configuration control, without adding process for its own sake What you'll bring A degree in mechanical, mechatronics, electrical/electronic, systems engineering, or similar A broad electro-mechanical background: mechanisms, actuation, sensing, integration Experience leading or overseeing electro-mechanical design, ideally from concept through to prototype and validation People leadership (formal or informal) plus the organisational side: planning, resourcing, keeping things moving Hands-on with real hardware, in the lab or on trial A background in complex, regulated products: defence, aerospace, marine, automotive, motorsport, medical or similar A full UK driving licence and valid passport Eligibility for SC clearance (you don't need to hold it already) Nice to have: MIL-STD or DEF-STAN, environmental qualification and EMC, IEng/CEng (or working towards it), systems engineering tools. Why it's worth a look Real influence over how the department runs - with room to either start as, or grow into the department's number two A role shaped around your strengths, whether that's more technical or more leadership Broad scope: mechanical, electrical, controls, sensors and how it all fits with software New capability three to five years out, not maintenance work A growing department, with roles to build out underneath you Occasional UK and international travel, with some out-of-hours working when needed. Interested, or know someone who'd be good? Drop me a message and I'll talk you through it, including who the client is.
