AddressIt's easy to misunderstand what Nationwide is like. Why? Because we're not like a bank. We're not like other financial services companies either. As a Senior Security Engineer here, you'll sit within CTO, assisting a wide range of delivery teams in engineering secure solutions and protecting our member's money and data.
We believe security is a systemic concern; therefore, security problems should be solved by a systemic approach (take a look at our tenets here if you are interested to learn more about our vision). We will have regular forums in which we consult with other Security Engineers within the team, looking at the problems from each of our specialities' perspectives.
As a Senior Security Engineer, you will work cross-functionally to assess risk and help deliver countermeasures that protect our member's data. You will work will engineering teams to create solutions that solve or remediate security problems. This will involve a range of activities, including (but not limited to) threat modelling, selection and configuration of DevSecOps tools, high-level and detailed security designs.
We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer with experience in design and implementing cloud native applications in the cloud.
You should have demonstrable experience in
- Threat modelling, design and implementing security controls in the cloud environment (AWS or Azure)
- Design and implementing cloud native and hybrid solutions in major public cloud platforms.
- Understanding of cryptographic primitives and protocols and their implementations in the cloud environment
- Programming with at least one modern language, an appreciation of software development lifecycle, software delivery methodologies and experience with industry-standard tools and methods for delivering software in an enterprise environment (version control, CI/CD pipeline, etc.)
- Experience with Authentication and authorisation, Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), Role Based Access Control (RBAC))
- Teamwork skills and resourcefulness with a proven sense of ownership and drive
It would also be beneficial if you have.
- Containerisation and serverless technologies (i.e., Docker, K8s, AWS Lambda) and their security implications
- Application perimeter defence (i.e., Web Application Firewalls)
- Experience with API gateway and Service Mesh and their security implications (i.e., APIGEE, ISTIO…)
- Degree in computer science or related field
- Professional certifications in AWS or Azure
