You’ll help build a cloud-native security engineering capability from the ground up, designing security architecture and implementing it as code within a modern AWS-first environment.

Requirements

  • Recent hands-on development, ideally in Python

Main responsibilities

  • Define and implement security reference architectures (IAM, logging, detection, vulnerability management)

  • Turn policy and regulatory requirements into technical controls

  • Develop reusable security frameworks: Terraform modules, policy-as-code, pipelines

  • Make tooling and integration decisions and provide technical leadership to engineering teams and partners

What we have to offer

  • Hybrid model: one day per week at the office in Lisbon (Oriente) or Porto

  • An early-stage role with real influence on how a large organisation secures its cloud

  • Immediate start

  • A comprehensive benefits package, including Health insurance extendable to your household, sports benefits and other exclusive discounts through our partner network

  • 25 vacation days

  • Challenging international projects, working with leading clients across different industries

  • Continuous learning and development opportunities, with access to training, certifications, and career development initiatives

  • A culture of knowledge sharing, collaboration, and continuous improvement

  • Dedicated support from both your Manager and our People team, ensuring you have the tools, feedback, and opportunities to achieve your career goals
