The Purpose:

As Staff Security Engineer at PPRO, you’ll act as the technical lead for the Security Engineering (SecEng) team, driving technical and operational excellence while coaching and developing your colleagues. You’ll be pivotal in supporting our mission to build robust, secure, and resilient systems.

This role offers the opportunity to apply deep security expertise across application and cloud domains. You will serve as the primary technical interface between the SecEng team and engineers across the organisation, influencing architecture and guiding teams to embed a 'secure by design' philosophy in everything we build. You will build Security as Code solutions that enable consistent controls and high-velocity delivery. You will also perform security assessments for new projects and technologies, utilizing threat modeling to identify risks early and define standardized, repeatable security patterns for the wider engineering organization. If you thrive on finding win-win solutions that embed security into modern development workflows to safeguard our customers, this is a great opportunity to have a positive impact at scale across the payments ecosystem.
