Overview
We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.
The Role
We’re looking for a Security Engineer to design, build and embed security and control capabilities across cloud platforms and engineering solutions within RS&AM Engineering. As a hands‑on, engineering‑led leader you will be focused on improving security posture, cyber resilience, and risk management through practical implementation rather than governance alone.
In our Engineering & Transformation, you’ll report to the Head of Cloud Platform and operate as part of the broader Cloud Platform capability, ensuring security is embedded into cloud platforms, engineering practices, and delivery from design through to operation.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement security controls across cloud platforms and engineering solutions, applying secure‑by‑design principles to systems, services, and data platforms.
- Build and integrate security capabilities into AWS‑based environments, implementing security tooling and automation such as vulnerability management, threat detection, and incident response capabilities.
- Work closely with cloud and platform engineers and embed security into cloud‑native architectures and platform patterns, ensuring solutions are secure, resilient, and aligned to platform standards.
- Proactively review engineering solutions with a lens of improving security posture and cyber resilience, identifying risks and working with engineering teams to implement pragmatic mitigations.
- Through modern engineering practices, define, embed and continuously improve security best practices into engineering delivery, promoting secure coding, testing, and deployment approaches.
- Experience implementing security controls across cloud‑native architectures with strong experience securing cloud environments, particularly AWS, supported by a strong understanding of security principles, vulnerability management and security tooling.
Equal Opportunity Statement
We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome, regardless of background. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you.
