About the role

Working with a market-leading systematic hedge fund. They are hiring a Staff Security Engineer – Platform & AI Security. Our client is building out a Security Engineering function focused on securing its core infrastructure, cloud platforms and rapidly evolving AI ecosystem. This is a hands-on engineering role, embedding security directly into cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, developer platforms and AI/ML infrastructure. You'll build and scale security controls across the platform, enabling the safe adoption of frontier AI, LLMs and autonomous agent frameworks. The scope includes cloud and infrastructure security, workload identity and access management, secrets management, software supply-chain security, platform observability and securing AI inference infrastructure. You'll also help establish security patterns for emerging AI technologies, including agent permissions, model provenance and LLM gateways. There's significant ownership, with the opportunity to shape the technical direction of platform security and build scalable security capabilities across a highly sophisticated engineering environment. Please apply for more information.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
