More about your role
We are recruiting a Principal Network and Security Engineer to join our Infrastructure Engineering function at a pivotal point in our technology journey.
This is a new, senior technical authority role with accountability for the build, improvement, release, decommissioning and security of all network and security capabilities across our infrastructure and database platforms.



You will sit at the apex of network and security engineering within the organisation, setting direction, standards and patterns that enable teams to deliver safely, consistently and at scale.
Reporting to the Head of Infrastructure Engineering, you will own the end-to-end technical lifecycle of network and security services across hybrid environments, embedding security-by-design, automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as default. You will provide architectural leadership, assurance and formal peer review across the Infrastructure Engineering and Database/Linux Engineering teams, ensuring solutions meet our technical, security and regulatory standards before they are released into live service.
This role is not about operational firefighting. It is about engineering excellence designing, governing and evolving resilient and secure platforms that other talented engineers can build upon with confidence.
