Your Mission
As a Security Engineer at Ben you will shape how infosec is done across the domains of infrastructure product and compliance. Youll be a key technical contributor in a small high-impact team - with direct mentorship from our Security Lead and the autonomy to take full ownership of key projects.
We value self-starters who are eager to take on ownership in a supportive environment where you can make a real impact while developing your skills. Our culture emphasises work-life balance so while we work hard to ship on time we also take downtime and relaxation seriously.
Things you will be working on
Take ownership of existing security tooling and implement new ones (e.g. endpoint protection MDM access controls) ensuring theyre effectively configured maintained and evolving as the business grows
Embed secure-by-design practices into the development lifecycle across engineering including secure coding threat modeling and design reviews
Monitor systems for irregular behavior and proactively design detection and prevention mechanisms
Ensure infrastructure and applications align with generally accepted industry standards such as the OWASP Top 10 and the AWS Well-Architected Framework
Conduct and lead risk assessments including third-party/vendor reviews and internal evaluations
Document and maintain security policies procedures and controls as part of our ISO 27001-certified Information Security Management System (ISMS)
You will love this role if you have
Hands-on experience deploying and managing security tooling - such as EDR MDM ZTNA or vulnerability scanners and enjoy solving problems at the implementation level
Worked with Microsofts security ecosystem including Entra ID (Azure AD) Intune and Defender and feel confident navigating other vendors enterprise tooling
Solid foundations in networking systems and cloud infrastructure and understand how to apply industry standards (e.g. OWASP Top 10 AWS Well-Architected) to real-world scenarios
Experience reviewing and improving product and infrastructure security including secure SDLC practices like threat modelling secure code review or CI/CD hardening
Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 and the ability to translate technical controls into well-documented policies and audit-ready evidence
Experience automating repetitive security tasks (e.g. with Python PowerShell or Bash) or integrating tools via APIs to improve efficiency and reduce manual work
A bias toward proactive risk reduction not just fixing bugs - you think holistically about controls people and processes that improve security posture
A generalist mindset - youre comfortable working across infrastructure product and compliance domains even if youre deeper in one
You will not love this role if you.
Want to only do policy work or only implementation - this is a hands-on full-spectrum security role where youll work across engineering and compliance
Need a slow pace to feel comfortable - we move fast and we prioritise action even when the path isnt perfectly clear
Are uncomfortable being accountable for outcomes - this role involves owning projects end-to-end and being responsible for making them succeed
Prefer maintaining the status quo - we want to challenge assumptions rethink how security is done and push for better ways of working
Prefer a highly structured environment with established processes and clearly defined boundaries - were still building and sometimes that means creating the path as we go
Struggle with ambiguity or expect prescriptive direction - youll get support and context but youll need to figure things out and take ownership
Wait for others to step up or to be told what to do - We are a high-performance and high-reward work place and are looking for people who are proactive
Not sure if you meet 100% of the requirements
Thats okay - we know that not everyone follows a linear career path and we value diverse perspectives and growth mindsets. If you have a solid technical foundation and a strong interest in security wed still love to hear from you. That said this role does require hands-on experience so please only apply if you feel confident you can contribute meaningfully from day one.
