As the company's sole dedicated Security Engineer, the successful candidate will take end-to-end ownership of security operations, covering application security, vulnerability management, governance and risk, and emerging AI security challenges.

### DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Application security: review code, find and fix vulnerabilities, work with developers in Git/GitHub, and coordinate external pen tests and audits.

### REQUIREMENTS:

- 2–3+ years of hands-on security engineering experience, with flexibility for exceptional scale-up experience

- Comfortable coding and working directly with Git/GitHub

- Practical scripting or automation skills, ideally Python or Bash

- Previous experience within an AI company or a scale-up with 50+ employees

- Sound understanding of security governance, risk assessment and prioritisation

- Ability to independently identify, investigate and resolve security issues, and to take end-to-end ownership in a fast-paced environment

- Comfortable with occasional evening/weekend security monitoring

- Fully comfortable working with adult/NSFW content as part of daily responsibilities

### BENEFITS:

- Direct collaboration with engineering leadership

- Hands-on, non-advisory role with real responsibility for security outcomes

- And many more!!!

**Live in Davidkennedyrecruitment’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
