About Redgate
Redgate brings together people who want to do their best work in an environment built on trust, accountability, and collaboration. We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases that their organizations depend on - a space that's only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates.
Why join our security team?
- Broad, meaningful scope - Working across our cloud & physical infrastructure, alongside our development teams and ISO27001-aligned information security group, you'll be working to bring on new vendors, assess risk, and fix vulnerabilities.
- Genuinely modern challenges - From AI governance and shadow IT to supply chain risk and secure‑by‑design engineering, tackle relevant problems across a fast‑moving global software business.
- A team that grows you - Work in a hands‑on team tackling a diverse set of challenges, developing your career and investing in your future.
About The Role
- Design, build, and operate security controls across infrastructure and applications.
- Investigate issues hands‑on, sometimes outside office hours, when things genuinely matter.
- Work closely with engineers and business teams to enable secure delivery.
- Work alongside our commercial teams to give our customers the confidence to securely deploy our products.
What Makes You a Great Fit
- Hands‑on security engineering or security operations experience.
- Strong IAM knowledge at protocol level (OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC) – you’ve debugged implementations, not just read about it.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (ideally Terraform) and use of automation.
- Familiarity with secure SDLC practices, version control, and peer review.
- Experience conducting vendor security reviews and third‑party risk assessments.
- Practical vulnerability management experience – you're used to judging the real‑world risks, not just looking at baseline CVSS scores.
- Incident response experience, including investigation, remediation, and root‑cause analysis. Working knowledge of Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, and KQL.
- A background in sys admin or engineering that gives you intuition for how systems actually fail.
- A mindset that security exists to enable the business.
- Comfortable using AI tools as part of your daily work.
- Strong communication skills with both technical and non‑technical audiences.
What We Offer
- Salary range: £60,000 - £70,000.
