We are looking for a Product Security Engineer to help ensure security is properly built into our products from the ground up - in the designs we choose, the code we write, and the way our software is developed, tested and delivered.

This is a hands-on role embedded within our product development teams.

The role is a dedicated security role focused on the security of how we develop our products. It combines technical depth - reviewing designs and code, threat modelling, assessing risk pragmatically - with the credibility and communicationskills to bring experienced developers along. It offers a genuine opportunity to grow into the leadership of our product security capability, and we welcome ambitious candidates ready to step up into a security specialism from a strong software engineering background.

The role of Product Security Engineer is primarily based from our Bristol office, but you must be willing to travel to our offices in Cardiff and Bath on occasion, with good flexibility for Hybrid working.

Work with our external security partners to arrange and act on penetration testing and security assessments of our products.
Contribute to security standards, metrics and ways of working that improve product security maturity over time.
Support wider assurance and certification activity, including ISO 27001 or other relevant standards, with evidence of how our software issecurely built.

A strong software engineering background, with the technical depth to read code, review designs and engage credibly with experienced developers.

Good understanding of how product and development teams operate, including how security considerations are balanced alongside product delivery.
The judgement to assess exploitability and business impact pragmatically.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to turn technical security concerns into clear, actionable decisions that developers respect.
The ambition to make security your dedicated focus and to grow with the role as we build our product security capability.
