Security is fundamental to everything we build.\nWe are looking for a Software Engineer to lead security across our engineering teams. This is not a client-facing or product role. You will work across all of engineering, closely with our CISO, our CTO and our engineering leaders, bringing engineering skills to our security function and raising the bar on how we build securely. You will have the backing of the CTO and CISO, and real freedom to make change.\nWe want an engineer who is drawn to security, rather than a security specialist or penetration tester who has picked up some engineering. You will start by building strong foundations, then move on to the most exciting part of the role: using AI agents to test our applications continuously.\nMain Responsibilities\nBuild a clear picture of where our engineering security stands today, and agree a plan to improve it with the CTO and CISO\n\nBring consistent security tooling into every pipeline, including credential scanning, software composition analysis (SCA), static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST)\n\nConfigure that tooling to our standards so it helps engineers rather than creating noise they learn to ignore\n\nReview system designs and architecture with engineering teams, applying security thinking early\n\nBuild agentic security testing: AI agents that continuously test our applications and alert engineers to issues\n\nWork closely with our CISO and security team, turning security goals into working systems\n\nHelp engineers across the business build securely, through tooling, guidance and example\n\nPerson Specification\nWe are looking for an engineer with a genuine interest in security, who wants to make it their focus and is excited by the freedom to build something from the ground up.\nRequired Skills and Experience\nMid-level to senior experience building production systems, in any language\n\nStrong system design skills, including reading architecture diagrams and spotting the security risks in them\n\nA genuine interest in security and a clear motivation to make it the focus of your work\n\nA good understanding of secure development practices and common application vulnerabilities\n\nExperience working with CI/CD pipelines\n\nThe ability to influence engineers and win support for change without formal authority\n\nExperience using AI coding tools in your day-to-day work\n\nFluent written and spoken English\n\nNice to haves\nExperience introducing security tooling, such as SAST, DAST, SCA or secret scanning, into an enterprise\n\nDevOps experience in a regulated enterprise, such as financial services\n\nExperience building AI agents or LLM-based automation\n\nWhat good looks like in this role\nAfter three months: you understand our systems and how we build them, and you have agreed a clear security plan with the CTO and CISO. You have an initial view of our current engineering security posture\n\nAfter six months: security scanning runs in every pipeline, tuned so that engineers trust it and act on it\n\nAfter twelve months: agentic security testing is continuously testing our applications, and security is part of how every team designs and builds","description_format":"text","description_chars":3334,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T18:08:18Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-13T06:20:30+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/board-intelligence-software-engineer-security","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/board-intelligence-software-engineer-security.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T15:33:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23666,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1920002},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1920002"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fboard-intelligence-software-engineer-security"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fboard-intelligence-software-engineer-security"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fboard-intelligence-software-engineer-security"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/board-intelligence-software-engineer-security\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fboard-intelligence-software-engineer-security"}]}
