Senior DevSecOps Engineer - London

• Define and execute a multi-quarter security roadmap for the entire engineering organization.

• Develop and maintain platform-level security tools that enable automated, self-service security for feature teams.

• Partner with Core Tech to integrate security primitives into our standard CI/CD and cloud deployment workflows.

• Conduct cross-team discovery to assess current security posture and identify high-risk technical debt.

• Mentor junior and peer engineers, fostering a culture where security is integrated into the "you build it, you run it" philosophy.

• Stay ahead of evolving threat landscapes, specifically regarding supply chain risks and large-scale AI infrastructure.

• Own and mature our existing detection, SIEM, and incident-response tooling as part of building out the broader security platform — this role inherits live systems, it isn't a blank canvas.

• Act as a security collaborator to IT on AI-usage risk (data exposure via connectors/agents, prompt injection) — distinct from, and in addition to, securing the AI systems Hiya builds as a product.

• Deep understanding of cloud-native architecture (AWS) and modern security best practices.

• Proven experience designing "self-service" platforms that developers actually want to use.

• Strong communication skills—the ability to turn complex security concerns into decisions engineers and stakeholders can act on.

• High proficiency in at least one modern language and familiarity with agent-based/AI-assisted development tools.

• Pragmatism—knowing when to accept calculated tech debt in favor of high-impact outcomes.

• A leadership style rooted in empathy, collaborative debate, and commitment to team decisions.

• Builds systems, documentation, and team capability that outlast you — we're wary of highly productive engineers who leave behind bespoke, unmaintainable tooling that has to be scrapped when they move on.
