Senior Product Engineer London Hybrid Startup 90,000 - 130,000 + meaningful equity Tech stack: Experience required across any of the following: Golang Rust TypeScript, Node.js React.js, Next.js AWS or GCP Most B2B SaaS products are effectively dashboards on top of a database. This isn't that. We're working with an Agentic AI startup building infrastructure and intelligent software systems that sit underneath large scale operational workflows and real time decision making processes. The platform processes very high volumes of live data, powers complex orchestration pipelines, and delivers AI driven functionality directly into customer environments at enterprise scale. The engineering challenges are genuinely difficult. Not "we use Kubernetes so we're scaling" difficult. More the kind of problems involving distributed systems, real time data ingestion, AI orchestration pipelines, and building software that customers rely on day to day inside production environments. The team is still small enough that every engineer materially changes the trajectory of the business. No giant hierarchy, no endless roadmap theatre, no Jira archaeology expedition trying to work out why a ticket exists. That means speaking to customers, understanding commercial context, shaping product direction, building systems, shipping to production, monitoring outcomes, and iterating quickly. You'll be working across: Real time event streaming systems handling very high traffic volumes AI powered workflows and orchestration pipelines Product engineering across backend infrastructure and frontend applications CRM and third party integration infrastructure Identity resolution and large scale data processing Systems where reliability and speed both matter because customers actively use what gets shipped The environment is best suited to engineers who: Enjoy ambiguity rather than waiting for perfect specs Think commercially as well as technically Want ownership rather than ticket queues Care about shipping quickly Like being close to founders, customers, and product decisions Have worked in strong start ups or fast moving product environments before Technical background matters, but mindset matters more. They're open to strong engineers from different backend ecosystems if you've built complex systems and can learn quickly. A few things worth knowing: High frequency of deployments per week Engineers use AI tooling heavily to improve speed and workflow efficiency Minimal meeting culture High trust environment with lots of autonomy Strong engineering standards without unnecessary process theatre Small team, meaningful ownership, direct impact If you're the type of engineer who likes solving hard problems with smart people, has energy & ambition, and actually seeing your work used in production by real customers, this is a very good opportunity.

Backend Engineer At Gradient Labs, we're on a mission to make exceptional customer service the norm. Founded in 2023, we've quickly gone from an idea to a growing team with customers you know (and probably love). Our AI agent helps businesses handle even the trickiest, high stakes customer support queries safely and effectively, all while giving them the visibility and control they need to trust the outcomes. We're a small but mighty team of builders from leading companies like Monzo, Pleo, and Google. We work in a hybrid model from our London office, a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, where we collaborate and connect 2 3 days a week. If you're excited to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI and help shape the future of customer operations, we'd love to hear from you. How you'll make an impact This isn't a maintenance role or a feature factory. At Gradient Labs, you will own systems that matter - from the first architectural decision through to production, scale, and everything that breaks along the way. You'll work on the infrastructure that makes autonomous AI agents actually reliable in the real world. That means building for failure, designing for observability, and shipping with conviction - not waiting for a perfect spec that will never arrive. Build the OS for AI Agents - Contribute to a safe, scalable platform that lets us iterate on autonomous agent capabilities faster than anyone else. You are building the infrastructure that makes AI actually work in production. Ship Resilient Systems - Design and own systems that hold up under failures, retry storms, and resource starvation - with full observability baked in. Reliability is a baseline, not an aspiration. Take Products from 0 1 Scale - Scope something from scratch, make the early architectural calls, and stay responsible for it as it grows. We build with conviction and we see things through. Move Fast, Ship Often - Iterate in small increments. Multiple deploys a day. Comfort with ambiguity is not optional - it is the job. The mission moves faster than the roadmap. What you'll bring Substantial tenure building production software at a fast growing company - fintech, AI, consumer tech, or any environment where pace and stakes were both high Proven experience owning complex, high stakes systems end to end - not handing off at merge, but staying accountable through observability, iteration, and scale Deep fluency in Go (Golang) and comfort operating across a modern backend stack (PostgreSQL, Temporal, GCP, Kubernetes) A product instinct that goes beyond technical elegance - you think from the customer backwards and bring that into every architectural decision Senior, Staff, Principal or Distinguished level in practice - someone who has operated with real scope and real accountability Genuine excitement for autonomous AI as a platform shift, not a trend - you want to build the infrastructure that makes agents genuinely reliable Strong opinions, loosely held - conviction without ego, and always willing to be wrong in pursuit of the right answer Why join Gradient Labs?

Backend Engineer At Gradient Labs, we're on a mission to make exceptional customer service the norm. Founded in 2023, we've quickly gone from an idea to a growing team with customers you know (and probably love). Our AI agent helps businesses handle even the trickiest, high stakes customer support queries safely and effectively, all while giving them the visibility and control they need to trust the outcomes. We're a small but mighty team of builders from leading companies like Monzo, Pleo, and Google. We work in a hybrid model from our London office, a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, where we collaborate and connect 2 3 days a week. If you're excited to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI and help shape the future of customer operations, we'd love to hear from you. How you'll make an impact This isn't a maintenance role or a feature factory. At Gradient Labs, you will own systems that matter - from the first architectural decision through to production, scale, and everything that breaks along the way. You'll work on the infrastructure that makes autonomous AI agents actually reliable in the real world. That means building for failure, designing for observability, and shipping with conviction - not waiting for a perfect spec that will never arrive. Build the OS for AI Agents - Contribute to a safe, scalable platform that lets us iterate on autonomous agent capabilities faster than anyone else. You are building the infrastructure that makes AI actually work in production. Ship Resilient Systems - Design and own systems that hold up under failures, retry storms, and resource starvation - with full observability baked in. Reliability is a baseline, not an aspiration. Take Products from 0 1 Scale - Scope something from scratch, make the early architectural calls, and stay responsible for it as it grows. We build with conviction and we see things through. Move Fast, Ship Often - Iterate in small increments. Multiple deploys a day. Comfort with ambiguity is not optional - it is the job. The mission moves faster than the roadmap. What you'll bring Substantial tenure building production software at a fast growing company - fintech, AI, consumer tech, or any environment where pace and stakes were both high Proven experience owning complex, high stakes systems end to end - not handing off at merge, but staying accountable through observability, iteration, and scale Deep fluency in Go (Golang) and comfort operating across a modern backend stack (PostgreSQL, Temporal, GCP, Kubernetes) A product instinct that goes beyond technical elegance - you think from the customer backwards and bring that into every architectural decision Senior, Staff, Principal or Distinguished level in practice - someone who has operated with real scope and real accountability Genuine excitement for autonomous AI as a platform shift, not a trend - you want to build the infrastructure that makes agents genuinely reliable Strong opinions, loosely held - conviction without ego, and always willing to be wrong in pursuit of the right answer Why join Gradient Labs? This is a unique chance to be part of a team working with cutting edge technology to reshape how businesses will operate in the future. Over the next 10 years, every company will need to embrace AI powered operations to stay competitive, and this role puts you right in the middle of that transformation. You'll tackle challenging and new problems, work with some of the most exciting brands across different industries, and be surrounded by a passionate, smart team that's driven to build something groundbreaking.

A technology company is seeking a Senior Software Engineer in Greater London to build secure and compliant backend systems. Responsibilities include developing authentication services, engaging in architectural decisions, and mentoring junior engineers. The candidate should have over 5 years of backend experience and proficiency in AWS and modern programming languages. The position offers a hybrid work arrangement with various benefits including generous time off and health insurance.
The Role We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Trusted Enterprise Platform team and build the systems that keep Multiverse secure, compliant, and architecturally sound as we scale. You will build and maintain the foundational services that every product team depends on but few users ever see: authentication and single sign-on, safe release infrastructure, notification delivery, universal preference management, and the technical surface area where regulatory obligations like GDPR become working code. Your work will be the reason other engineers can ship with confidence and customers can trust us with their data. We are looking for a full-stack engineer who leans towards the backend and finds satisfaction in providing leverage. You are the kind of person who enjoys building a platform capability leveraged by ten teams, but serving thousands. You care about getting the abstractions right, because you know that a poorly designed auth flow or a leaky preference centre creates problems that compound across the entire organisation. The Challenge: Your First 6 Months Months 1 to 2: Learn the platform landscape, understand our auth and identity systems end to end, and ship your first meaningful contribution to one of the core services. Months 3 to 4: Take ownership of a workstream, whether that is improving SSO integration, building out safe release infrastructure, or advancing the preference centre. Start influencing architectural decisions. Months 5 to 6: You are a trusted owner of one or more platform domains. You are shaping the roadmap, mentoring teammates, and your work is visibly reducing friction and risk for product teams across the organisation. Your Impact As a Senior SWE, you are a force multiplier whose influence extends beyond your immediate tasks. Technical Excellence: You will produce clean, extensible code that serves as a best-practice example for the squad, possessing a strong understanding of non-functional requirements like security and scalability. System Ownership: You won't just launch bugs-free code; you will ensure proactive monitoring is in place, defining new technical metrics to guarantee the health of Multiverse's systems. Strategic Execution: You will advocate for incremental delivery, taking a fail-fast approach to complex problems and helping the squad manage technical debt effectively. Mentorship & Uplift: You will actively mentor more junior members, conducting thoughtful code reviews and producing documentation that helps others ramp up quickly. Cross-Functional Influence: You will engage stakeholders directly to understand their problems, building strong relationships to achieve business objectives across several squads. How We Work With AI At Multiverse, AI is our engine, not an add-on. We want every engineer to use AI tooling as a core part of how they work, not as an experiment or a side interest. That means using AI-assisted development tools daily to write, review, and debug code faster. It means reaching for an LLM before reaching for Stack Overflow. It means being willing to prototype internal automations that save the team hours, not just yourself. You should be genuinely curious about how AI is reshaping software development, comfortable adopting new tools as they emerge, and excited about the idea that infrastructure and platform work will look meaningfully different in two years than it does today. Operating Principles in Action Solve for Customer Value: You prioritize the balance between high security and user friction. You design identity flows that protect our customers without slowing them down. Drivers, Not Passengers: You don't wait for a legal "requirement" to fix a privacy flaw. You lead the solution, ensuring compliance is an architectural feature, not an afterthought. Be Decisive, Even in Ambiguity: You are comfortable launching "imperfect" platform tools to get internal feedback early, course-correcting quickly based on how other engineers use your APIs. AI to Deliver Outcomes: You treat AI as our engine. You look for opportunities to integrate LLMs or AI-augmented tooling into our developer workflows to accelerate our platform's maturity. Your Requirements What We Are Looking For Technical Foundation Backend Center of Gravity: 5+ years of experience with a focus on data models, APIs, and system boundaries. Cloud-Native Instincts: Deep comfort with AWS, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes/ECS), and Infrastructure-as-Code. Clean Code: A track record of writing modular, tested, and readable code in TypeScript, Python, or Elixir. Technical Leadership & Mindset Product Mindset for Platforms: You treat internal engineers as your users, caring deeply about developer ergonomics and API documentation. Identity Experts: Hands-on experience building or significantly contributing to auth and identity systems in a B2B org (SSO, SAML, OAuth). Release Architects: You understand the difference between deployment and release and have managed enterprise release cycles at scale. What Would Set You Apart Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS). A history of extracting shared services from monolithic codebases. Benefits Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support Hybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month Work-from-anywhere scheme - you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year Space to connect: Beyond the desk, we make time for weekly catch-ups, seasonal celebrations, and have a kitchen that's always stocked! Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion We're an equal opportunities employer. And proud of it. Every applicant and employee is afforded the same opportunities regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. This will never change. Read our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion policy here. Our Commitment to Safeguarding Multiverse is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our learners. We expect all employees to share this commitment and adhere to our Safeguarding Policy, our Prevent Policy and all other Multiverse company policies. Successful applicants will be required to undertake at least a Basic check via the Disclosure Barring Service (DBS). For roles that will involve a Regulated Activity, successful applicants must also undergo an Enhanced DBS check, including a Children's Barred List check and a Prohibition Order check. Roles involving Regulated Activity may interact with vulnerable groups, therefore are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 meaning applicants are required to declare any convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings. Providing false information is an offence and could result in the application being rejected or summary dismissal if the applicant has been selected, and possible referral to the police and the DBS.

HM Interview: 45-60 minute video call with the Engineering Manager and Head of Engineering to delve into workflow, mindset, and AI tool usage. The "Agent" Test: A live technical task where you'll use Claude Code (or your preferred agent) to solve a complex requirement or refactor code. Final Stage: 45-60 minute interview with the broader team and People Team to assess collaboration and "Learning in the open." We design this to be a two-way conversation. Come with questions - we want you to leave knowing whether this is the right move for you. We also use AI tools to support our hiring process - not to make decisions, but to help us run a fairer, faster process. You can read more about how we approach that here, including tips for how you can use AI to prepare. What we offer We've also built a benefits package that invests in our people's long-term personal and professional growth and wellbeing. Here's a sample of what this includes; Salary £70-£80,000, depending on experience and location, plus stock options for every employee 30 days of holiday annually, plus bank holidays Private healthcare for you and your family, including pre-existing conditions Life insurance at 3x your salary 13 weeks parental leave at full pay for new parents Workplace nursery scheme with Gogeta, allowing you to pay fees pre-tax Ride to work scheme Workplace pension scheme to help you save for retirement Flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle £500 annual personal training allowance plus regular learning opportunities on a variety of topics £40 monthly wellbeing to keep you healthy 24/7 Employee Assistance Program, covering you and immediate family members-offering crisis support, counselling, legal advice, menopause CBT, and more Unlimited AI usage with Claude and Gemini Working here You'll do well here if you: Move through ambiguity without waiting for a perfect brief Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks Adapt quickly when priorities shift, and help others do the same Look for ways to improve how things work, not just how to complete them Use tools, data, and colleagues to make better decisions This probably isn't the right fit if you: Prefer clearly defined processes and a stable, slow-moving environment Are most comfortable staying within the boundaries of your job description Find frequent context-switching draining rather than energising Inclusion and flexibility INSHUR is committed to building a team where everyone can bring their full self to work. We follow a structured hiring process and train our interview teams to support fairness and reduce bias. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age. This role is advertised as full-time.

This is a Hybrid role requiring regular in-person team meetings at our Brighton office, typically held on the last Thursday of each month for team connection. What you'll do Own and Ship Customer Value: You'll deliver incremental customer value through features and projects across INSHUR's policy, claims, and internal tooling products - shipping outcomes that users actually feel. AI-Native Development: Leverage agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor) to research, plan, architect, and implement product changes quickly and with high quality, by guiding agents through complex tasks and validating against engineering standards. Write Code That Matters: You'll write and review code across Go, Java (Spring), and/or Node.js, using AI tooling to bridge syntax gaps rapidly without compromising correctness. You'll define and implement tests in business-readable language that lock in behaviour. Lead Problem Resolution: You'll be the trusted expert for critical bugs and incidents in your area, using AI tooling to diagnose fast and resolve with confidence, preventing customer impact and building team resilience. Drive Wider Initiatives: You'll shape how INSHUR engineers work by contributing to squad, collective, or discipline-level initiatives, especially those advancing AI-augmented engineering practices across the organisation. Own Observability: You'll ensure systems stay healthy and visible by identifying monitoring gaps and independently managing escalations, building confidence that your area runs smoothly. Collaborate Across Functions: You'll work directly with product managers and designers to understand customer needs across our policy, claims, and internal tooling products, ensuring engineering decisions are shaped by real customer context. What we're looking for We care more about how you think than what's on your CV. If you meet most of the essentials and are excited about the problem, apply. Essential Product mindset: You can take an idea and break it down into small iterations of value Outcome driven: Rather than going deep on tooling, you're focussed on delivering value to customers in terms they understand AI-Native / Agentic Workflow: You have effectively used tools like Claude Code to plan, architect, and code, and can clearly explain how you steer agents to achieve complex goals. Golang / Java/NodeJS - Polyglot Mindset: You possess a solid understanding of Go, Java (inc Spring) or NodeJS to verify code, while being able to use AI to bridge syntax gaps rapidly. Testing & Quality Assurance: You are able to articulate tests in business language, even when code is generated by AI. Innovation & Growth Mindset: You are passionate about bringing new workflows to a scale-up environment and "learning in the open." Nice to have Scaling Experience: You have worked with asynchronous distributed systems AI Tooling Proficiency: You bring to the table novel ideas and flows around AI coding assistants like Cursor or Claude Code Mentorship Track Record: You have experience sharing knowledge and upskilling teams on new technologies or methodologies. Behavioural testing mindset: When it comes to testing, you think in terms of locking in behaviour, not implementation What to expect from the process Screen & Intro: 30-minute video call with the Talent Team to discuss the role and your experience with AI agents. HM Interview: 45-60 minute video call with the Engineering Manager and Head of Engineering to delve into workflow, mindset, and AI tool usage. The "Agent" Test: A live technical task where you'll use Claude Code (or your preferred agent) to solve a complex requirement or refactor code. Final Stage: 45-60 minute interview with the broader team and People Team to assess collaboration and "Learning in the open." We design this to be a two-way conversation. Come with questions - we want you to leave knowing whether this is the right move for you. We also use AI tools to support our hiring process - not to make decisions, but to help us run a fairer, faster process. You can read more about how we approach that here, including tips for how you can use AI to prepare. What we offer We've also built a benefits package that invests in our people's long-term personal and professional growth and wellbeing. Here's a sample of what this includes; Salary £70-£80,000, depending on experience and location, plus stock options for every employee 30 days of holiday annually, plus bank holidays Private healthcare for you and your family, including pre-existing conditions Life insurance at 3x your salary 13 weeks parental leave at full pay for new parents Workplace nursery scheme with Gogeta, allowing you to pay fees pre-tax Ride to work scheme Workplace pension scheme to help you save for retirement Flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle £500 annual personal training allowance plus regular learning opportunities on a variety of topics £40 monthly wellbeing to keep you healthy 24/7 Employee Assistance Program, covering you and immediate family members-offering crisis support, counselling, legal advice, menopause CBT, and more Unlimited AI usage with Claude and Gemini Working here You'll do well here if you: Move through ambiguity without waiting for a perfect brief Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks Adapt quickly when priorities shift, and help others do the same Look for ways to improve how things work, not just how to complete them Use tools, data, and colleagues to make better decisions This probably isn't the right fit if you: Prefer clearly defined processes and a stable, slow-moving environment Are most comfortable staying within the boundaries of your job description Find frequent context-switching draining rather than energising Inclusion and flexibility INSHUR is committed to building a team where everyone can bring their full self to work. We follow a structured hiring process and train our interview teams to support fairness and reduce bias. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age. This role is advertised as full-time.

Embedded Software Tech Lead (IC Bring-Up, Pre-Tapeout Validation) Whiteley, Fareham (3 days per week onsite) £80,000 + 10% Bonus This role cannot offer Visa Sponsorship. Your new company You'll be joining the European HQ of a high-growth, innovation-led semiconductor business operating at the forefront of next-gen connectivity technology. The company is pushing technical boundaries, with significant investment into R&D and a clear vision to lead across firmware and software. The role is hybrid and you'll be required to work 3 days onsite in Whiteley. Your new role This is a hands-on Technical Lead position sitting within a specialist Embedded software team, where you will take ownership of a small sub-team of engineers while remaining deeply involved in engineering delivery. You will be responsible for driving the design, development and delivery of low-level Embedded software and firmware for advanced capacitive sensing products, working across the full software life cycle from concept through to production. A key part of the role is technical ownership. This is not a position for someone who has only contributed as an individual contributor. You will bring prior experience leading projects or mentoring engineers, with accountability for delivery, technical direction and quality. While overall team allocation sits with the Software Manager, you'll be the technical authority for your sub-team, guiding architecture decisions, overseeing delivery and supporting engineers day-to-day. From a technical perspective, this is a true Embedded role. You will be working close to the hardware, developing low-level software on boards in a pre-RTOS environment. Strong experience in bare metal development is essential, alongside a solid understanding of IC interaction and Digital Signal Processing concepts. The work combines firmware development in C with higher-level modelling and algorithm development using Python, giving a strong blend of low-level engineering and system-level thinking. The environment is collaborative with a strong engineering culture where people are trusted to take ownership and make a tangible impact on product direction. Despite its growth trajectory, there remains a close-knit feel across teams, with a real emphasis on knowledge sharing and continuous improvement. What you'll need to succeed You will already be operating at Senior/Lead level with 2+ years leadership experience (either mentoring others or leading projects). We are looking for Semiconductor life cycle experience, specifically deep knowledge of IC Bring Up/Pre-Tapeout Validation. You will bring strong experience in Embedded software and firmware development using C, alongside practical experience working at a low level on Embedded targets. A background in Bare Metal development is critical, as is familiarity with working directly with hardware, interfaces and ICs. You will ideally have exposure to DSP or similar signal processing concepts, alongside experience using Python or similar tools for modelling, simulation or data analysis. Beyond technical capability, you will be someone who enjoys leading from the front, able to guide engineers, make decisions and take responsibility for outcomes within a fast-moving product environment. What you'll get in return In return, you'll be joining a business where engineering excellence sits at the core of its success, offering the chance to work on genuinely cutting-edge technology in a role that blends leadership with hands-on development. The package includes a salary of up to £80,000, a 10% annual bonus, private healthcare and a strong range of wellbeing support. The working environment is collaborative and engaging, with modern offices and flexible working hours available. What you need to do now To find out more or to be considered, please apply directly or get in touch for a confidential discussion with Max Wilcock, Senior Business Director. At Hays Technology, we're shaping the future of recruitment. As demand for specialist engineering talent continues to grow, we work closely with organisations and individuals to create opportunities where people can make a real impact.

Build: run periodic build-vs-design reviews, architecture drift checks, and re-approve changes; configure operational controls, prepare security testing, support agent rollout, validate log feeds. Test (LEAD): sign off that the security architecture is proven by test evidence; revalidate the threat model; lead security testing, penetration testing, control validation, and evidence pack creation. Deploy: provide production architecture sign-off; confirm final control mapping in Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM); run live security validation, monitoring tuning, alert calibration, and IR playbook readiness. Hyper-care (LEAD): address security-architecture defects, approve in-warranty changes; lead control monitoring and tuning; produce security evidence and establish Key Risk Indicator (KRI) baselines. Handover: hand architecture over to the Security Council, lodge the final threat model, ensure the CCM tile goes live; transition operational controls to L1 SOC operations with a complete evidence pack to external assurance. Liaise directly with external assurance providers on threat-model defensibility, control effectiveness, and evidence chain across the CIS Controls v8.1 IG3 scope. Chair or jointly chair the Security Council review at the architecture stage gate; participate in TDA decisions at the design stage gate. People: Led security engineering across the programme; senior peer to Security Solution Architects, Cyber Operations, and the MSSP L1 SOC interface. Process: Embedded structured operating-model discipline into every security validation and assurance step; Definition-of-Done evidence at every gate, no exceptions. Technology: Delivered secure-by-design as bui personally signed off every architecture and operational handover, with an audit-traceable evidence chain from threat model to live monitoring Key Requirements Essential Skills: 12+ years cyber engineering and security architecture experience at enterprise scale. 5+ years hands-on security design AND validation - comfortable both as architect (design authority) and as engineer (hands-on implementer). Direct experience with CIS Controls v8.1, NIST CSF, ISO 27001/27002 control frameworks. Threat modelling at scale - proven authorship using STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP - across multiple in-scope controls. Hands-on penetration testing, security testing, and control validation track record. Workflow discipline - operates comfortably within Definition-of-Done, evidence-at-gate frameworks. Exceptional executive-level interactions, presentation, and engagement - proven ability to influence CISO, Security Council, External Assurance, and cross-functional senior stakeholders across Procurement, Architecture, and Technology heads.
