About hyperexponential (hx) At hyperexponential, we're building the AI-powered platform that enables the world's most critical decisions in a £7 trillion industry, which risks to take, and how to price them. These are the decisions that shape real-world outcomes: whether rockets successfully launch into space, autonomous vehicles make it to market, or communities recover after major storms. Until now, insurance has been making billion-pound decisions using outdated tools. We're changing that. Our platform brings together data, AI, and human expertise to give insurers the fastest path from submission to decision - helping them move faster, act smarter, and take on more risk with confidence. Backed by a16z, Highland Europe, and Battery Ventures, we're scaling globally - already trusted by nearly 50 of the world's largest insurers, with zero churn and billions in premiums flowing through hx. What began as a single product in one market has rapidly evolved into a multi-product, multi-territory platform powering every stage of pricing and underwriting. AI is at the core of what we do - from building the world's first domain-specific AI peer programmer for insurance (think GitHub Copilot with a PhD in actuarial science) to shaping agentic workflows that reinvent how this industry operates. What makes hx different is the people who build it. Here, impact isn't tied to title or tenure; it's defined by the challenges you take on and the discipline you bring. Surrounded by peers who stretch you, you'll do the best, hardest work of your life in a company engineered to endure. If that sounds like you, join us in building what comes next. About the Platform team Platform at hx builds the foundation that enables engineering teams to ship secure, scalable applications at velocity. We're evolving towards an AI-first platform where self-service infrastructure, intelligent automation, and reusable components compound developer productivity and operational excellence. This isn't about maintaining the status quo; we're reimagining how modern software delivery works. As the Staff Platform Engineer, you will own the technical direction of this evolution. You will define the architecture and engineering standards that others build to, drive coherence across teams, and ensure the platform strategy is aligned to long-term business outcomes. You will shape how AI-first, self-service infrastructure is done at scale, not just by delivering capabilities yourself, but by creating the conditions for engineering teams across the organisation to move faster, more safely, and more autonomously. Check out our Engineering Candidate Hub for a behind the scenes look at the team you would be joining! What you'll be doing Establish a coherent 12-18 month technical direction for the platform, with clearly articulated trade offs, milestones, and alignment across engineering leadership. The roadmap is understood, trusted, and actively referenced by stakeholders. Platform capabilities are adopted broadly across engineering, not because teams are told to use them, but because they are well designed, well documented, and genuinely reduce friction. Measurable reduction in Platform as a bottleneck for common provisioning and deployment tasks. Define the architectural patterns and standards that enable autonomous and AI augmented workflows across the organisation. Other engineers can build AI native capabilities without requiring Platform's direct involvement in every initiative. Platform defined standards for security, reliability, and operational excellence are embedded into how all teams build not enforced through gatekeeping, but adopted because they are the path of least resistance. Measurable reduction in misconfiguration, security exceptions, and operational incidents across the estate. Senior engineers are visibly stronger for having worked alongside you. The team develops better instincts for architecture, trade offs, and platform thinking. You are sought out as a technical authority. What you'll need to have done Defined the architecture, standards, and patterns for the platform domain over a multi quarter horizon. Makes high judgement calls on foundational trade offs such as build vs buy, depth vs breadth, short term pragmatism vs long term coherence and brings the organisation along on those decisions. Navigating disagreement across senior engineers, architects, and stakeholders to reach durable technical decisions. Comfortable holding a position under pressure, updating it when presented with better evidence, and ensuring decisions stick once made. Accountability for outcomes that span multiple teams and that they do not personally deliver. Designs systems, standards, and enablement approaches that multiply the effectiveness of the engineers around them, rather than being the primary hands on contributor to every initiative. Defined how AI and automation are embedded into the platform at an architectural level not just experimenting with tools, but establishing patterns that make AI augmented workflows the default for engineering teams across the organisation. Understanding of the adoption dynamics, internal customer needs, and the systemic barriers to self service. Shapes the platform roadmap based on feedback, usage data, and a clear eyed view of where friction exists and ensures the platform earns its adoption rather than mandating it. Identified architectural, security, and operational risks before they become incidents. Influences how the broader engineering organisation thinks about reliability, security posture, and cost efficiency not just within Platform's direct remit. Connecting platform decisions to business outcomes clearly and credibly. Can represent the platform strategy to senior leadership, translate engineering constraints into business language, and use commercial context to sharpen technical priorities. Actively developing senior engineers through technical challenge, honest feedback, and deliberate exposure to harder problems. Recognised as someone who raises the capability of the team, not just the quality of the code. Models the engineering culture the organisation is trying to build. You're unlikely to thrive here if You prefer executing predefined tasks over taking ownership of ambiguous problems that require exploration, experimentation, and iteration to solve. You view platform engineering as building infrastructure in isolation rather than treating it as a product with internal customers whose adoption and satisfaction drive success. You're uncomfortable with rapid change and continuous improvement, preferring stability and established patterns over evolving practices based on data and feedback. If reading our Culture Document leaves you feeling neutral rather than energised, hx may not be the place where you'll do your best work. We're building something that asks for commitment and conviction, and we want you to feel excited by the opportunity to grow with us. Compensation At hx, we're committed to salary transparency. You'll always have clarity on pay early in the process - our Talent Partner will share details with you during initial conversations - and we're working towards publishing salary information for all roles globally.

What you will be doing Application Security and Secure SDLC Embed security into Agile development by partnering with engineering squads during planning, refinement, and delivery, and be the security voice in the room. Define, roll out, and continuously improve secure coding standards, secure design patterns, and developer-friendly guidance that scales across the engineering team. Run threat modelling for new features and major architectural changes, capturing abuse cases and security requirements early, and apply emerging frameworks to model and mitigate new threat surfaces, especially for AI-powered features. Own SAST, SCA, DAST, container, and IaC scanning pipelines, using Snyk as the primary platform. Integrate with CI/CD, manage policies, and focus on developer experience and false-positive reduction. Triage and manage vulnerabilities end-to-end: classification, SLAs, fix validation, and reporting. Build frictionless guardrails such as pre-commit hooks, secure templates, reference code, and paved paths that make doing the right thing easy. Deliver targeted training and just-in-time enablement based on findings and stack specifics. Security Architecture and Design Advise on architecture choices for key product feature developments, including authorisation, secrets and key management, data protection, and zero-trust-aligned designs. Guide secure API and microservice patterns, including input validation, rate limiting, secure session handling, and token-based security (OAuth 2.0/OIDC).

Advise on the security architecture of agent orchestration, tool integrations, memory handling, and MCP server deployments as agentic AI capabilities expand. AI Security and Governance Apply and evolve Semble's approach to AI specific threats: prompt injection, excessive agent autonomy, tool and plugin abuse, AI supply chain risks, and context manipulation, using OWASP LLM Top 10 and OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications. Work with the Head of Information Security to develop and maintain AI governance posture, aligned with ISO 42001 and evolving AI regulatory landscape in healthcare. Assess risks from third party AI integrations, AI assisted development tooling, and agentic workflows, and implement appropriate mitigations. Security Operations and Threat Management Monitor, investigate, and respond to security alerts, incidents, and anomalous behaviour across Semble's environment. Develop and mature threat intelligence capabilities, including vulnerability management, penetration testing coordination, and incident response processes. Maintain and improve security tooling, logging, and detection capabilities with an automation first mindset. Contribute to incident response runbooks for application layer and AI related incidents, and support blameless post incident reviews to embed learning back into the SDLC. Identify and address security gaps proactively, improving the overall security posture. Compliance, Certification and Audit Readiness Own or co own delivery of compliance programmes, including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials+, NHS DSPT, and the journey toward SOC 2 readiness. Support and contribute to ISO 42001 implementation as AI governance matures. Define and track pragmatic security KPIs such as time to remediate, coverage, critical resolutions within SLA, threat model coverage, and audit readiness indicators. Maintain audit quality documentation, evidence, and records at all times. Customer and Stakeholder Engagement Support the sales process by responding to customer security questionnaires and due diligence requests with accuracy and confidence. Occasionally engage directly with customers on security topics, acting as a credible representative of Semble's security function. Work with internal stakeholders to ensure security requirements are understood and embedded across the business. What we are looking for Required Minimum of 5 years' experience in application security, product security, or a combination of software engineering and security with strong AppSec ownership. Hands on experience with Snyk across SCA, SAST, Container, and IaC, including CI/CD integration and policy management. Strong grounding in modern web and application security: OWASP Top 10, API Security Top 10, and emerging understanding of the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications. Practical experience embedding security into Agile workflows and DevSecOps tooling. Solid understanding of authn/authz patterns, secrets management, encryption, and cloud native security controls. Experience with compliance frameworks, particularly ISO 27001; familiarity with Cyber Essentials+, NHS DSPT, or SOC 2 is a strong advantage. Practical understanding of AI security risks, including prompt injection, LLM vulnerabilities, and agentic system threats, and how to address them in a product context. Experience working in a SaaS environment or similarly regulated industry, appreciating the product, engineering, and commercial context that security decisions sit within. Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, leadership, and occasionally customers, translating complex security risk into clear, actionable language. Genuine, hands on AI experience: you must be able to discuss specific ways you are already using AI to improve security operations, detection, or engineering workflows. A track record of maintaining security programmes to a continuously high standard, with audit readiness as a default rather than a periodic event. A proactive, ownership mindset: you identify gaps, propose solutions, and deliver them without waiting to be told. Desirable CISSP certification (strongly preferred). Experience with threat modelling methodologies such as STRIDE or attack trees, and running effective threat model sessions with engineering teams. Familiarity with API gateways, container orchestration, and software supply chain security. Experience securing AI enabled features, ML pipelines, agentic workflows, or MCP based integrations. Experience building or maturing a security function within a scaling organisation. Exposure to healthcare data regulations and NHS security requirements.

About the Role: Grade Level (for internal use): 15 The Team: The Enterprise Solutions Technology division includes workflow solutions across Lending, Reg & Compliance, Global Markets and Software business. Enterprise Solutions provides industry leading set of integrated tools, solutions and data services that help our clients make efficient investment decisions, operate with greater efficiency, and provide transparency across their business and to their key stakeholders. Responsibilities and Impact: We are seeking a senior technology leader to partner closely with the Head of Technology for Enterprise Solutions in shaping the technology direction of a complex, regulated financial services estate. This is a hands on principal engineer and architect role, not a pure governance or advisory architecture function. The role exists to ensure technology strategy is grounded in engineering reality, deep domain understanding, and operational outcomes. You will work directly with the Head of Technology to shape and refine strategy, stress testing ideas against engineering, regulatory, and operational constraints. You will engage closely with senior engineering leaders, platform teams, and product partners to turn strategy into real designs that can be built and run. You will get involved early in complex or high risk initiatives and step in when it matters most, including during major incidents and recovery efforts. A key part of the role is knowing when to push forward, when to simplify, and when to slow down or stop. You will act as the engineering authority across Enterprise Solutions, leading primarily through influence rather than line management and the role carries broad responsibility for shaping architecture, design, and delivery decisions across multiple teams and domains. You will balance long term strategy with near term delivery constraints, operational resilience, and regulatory expectations, and represent the technology direction with clients and senior stakeholders, explaining design choices and trade offs clearly and credibly. Overall, this role strengthens the technology function by making strategy buildable, operable, and defensible. What We're Looking For: 25+ years of experience building and operating systems in tier 1 banks, capital markets infrastructure, or similarly regulated, high availability environments. Has owned or deeply influenced production systems under real load, is comfortable reading and writing code, and works effectively alongside senior engineers. Experienced in setting technology strategy and architecture for complex, regulated, data driven platforms, with strong experience in banking and financial services (public and private markets, syndicated lending, securities processing, counterparty and client lifecycle, regulatory reporting, or similar domains). Experienced in defining and owning multi year technology strategies and roadmaps, setting clear priorities and sequencing change based on business outcomes, regulatory needs, and engineering reality. Sets and governs reference architectures, design standards, and architectural guardrails, ensuring teams build in a consistent, scalable, and sustainable way. Strong understanding of how financial products, operational workflows, data, and controls work end to end, and uses that understanding to make sound system and platform design decisions. Has demonstrated strong judgment designing distributed, event driven, and data intensive systems, including how they scale, fail, recover, and isolate risk. Experienced with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and the trade offs around managed services, multi region and multi tenant designs, data residency, cost, performance, and resilience. Knowledge of advanced and new architectures and design paradigms (e.g. agent based systems, service abstractions, semantic data models, knowledge graphs, and where to apply or not). Experienced in ensuring AI enabled systems are explainable, auditable, and operationally safe, with clear judgment on when AI is appropriate versus deterministic or rules based approaches. Strong understanding of analytics and AI in production (e.g. data quality, anomaly detection, fraud/AML, workflow automation) and understands what it takes to run these reliably in regulated environments. Designs with security and controls built in, with a strong understanding of identity, data protection, failure containment, and regulatory risk. Acts as a coach and multiplier for senior engineers and architects, raising the bar through hands on problem solving, design reviews, and practical guidance rather than formal line management. Pragmatic, direct, and outcome focused. Leads through earned credibility and influence, is comfortable shaping decisions without authority, and communicates complex technical topics clearly to business, client, and regulatory audiences. Measures success by outcomes and evidence, not intent or presentation: technology strategy that translates into systems that work in production, reduce late stage surprises and repeat incidents, scale and recover as designed, and stand up to real operational and regulatory scrutiny.

Senior Solutions Architect - Email & Collaboration Security - London UK Why This Role ExistsThe Email & Collaboration Security (ECS) product line sits at the intersection of some of the most consequential challenges in enterprise security today: AI augmented threats, sprawling collaboration surfaces, multi cloud delivery complexity, and the expectation that detection and response capabilities keep pace with a threat landscape that does not wait. This architecture is not greenfield. It carries two decades of accumulated product decisions, integration contracts, and operational constraints. The right candidate understands why that history matters before proposing how to move beyond it. Reasoning about legacy shape and evolutionary trajectory simultaneously is not optional; it is the job. The successful candidate will serve as connective tissue across product management, engineering, and the broader Architecture Leadership Team - turning customer and business problems into coherent, deliverable technical direction, and owning the decisions that give ECS engineering teams a stable foundation to move fast with quality. AI First Ways of Working Mimecast is an AI first engineering organisation and this is an operating expectation. The person in this role is expected to use AI tools as a genuine, daily part of how they work: for design exploration and iteration, documentation, analysis, prototyping, and research synthesis. This means having a real, practised opinion on where AI tooling accelerates quality decisions and where it introduces risk. It also means designing systems that incorporate AI components thoughtfully: understanding the implications of LLM integration, agent boundaries, prompt and data contract stability, and evaluation coverage for AI driven features. Candidates who treat AI tooling as optional or experimental are not the right fit for this role. The expectation is fluency and daily practice, not passing familiarity. ECS Domain Email threat detection and prevention Email security efficacy Collaboration security DMARC analyzer Data platform and observability Analysis and Response End user application integration Internal operations enablement What You Will Do Lead from Problem Space, Not Solution SpaceThe role engages at the problem framing stage, not after requirements have already hardened into tickets. This means facilitating workshops with PMs, UX, and engineers to surface real customer constraints and articulate what good looks like in business and user terms before any technical shape is proposed. Own Integration Contracts as Product ArtefactsThe durable interfaces - APIs, event contracts, data schemas - that connect ECS capabilities to the broader Mimecast platform are first class artefacts owned by this role. They outlast individual features, and the coordination work that makes integrations actually land across teams and time is part of the remit. Build the Architectural ContextEngineering Teams Operate Inside ADRs, service interaction patterns, NFR targets, and data contracts are not documentation - they are the substrate that lets engineering teams and AI assisted development workflows make consistent decisions at scale. The artefacts produced in this role are clear, reasoned, and durable. Govern Without BlockingGovernance is a mechanism for alignment and acceleration, not gatekeeping. Structure and discipline are introduced where they reduce risk or improve quality - and removed where ceremony adds cost without value. The role engages the Chief Architect early, pushes back constructively when platform standards do not fit the ECS context, and helps teams close decisions with conviction rather than endless review. Reason About Cost and Unit EconomicsInfrastructure choices are sized, cost trajectories modelled for new architecture work, and unexpected spend is flagged with a proposed remediation. The frame is cost per outcome - per protected mailbox, per remediated incident - not just monthly AWS spend. Communicate at Every AltitudeA one page decision record that lands with engineers, a solution brief that holds up under senior architecture review, a strategy narrative that resonates with product and commercial leadership - this role operates across all of those registers. Whiteboard sessions produce actual decisions, not just richer ambiguity. What You Will Bring 10+ years building and operating production SaaS systems, with at least 3 years in a Solutions Architect, Principal Engineer, or equivalent role carrying product shaping responsibility A genuinely broad architectural lens - thinking about system shape, data flows, and organisational constraints rather than reaching for the nearest deep technical rabbit hole Comfort operating across cloud native patterns (AWS, Kafka, managed services, distributed event architectures) at high throughput - able to reason about trade offs with confidence, without needing to be the most technically specialist person in the room Product Understanding - Not Just Technical Understanding Prior close collaboration with Product Managers and UX designers, with an understanding of jobs to be done framing and a real opinion on what makes a product bet good - not just a technical bet Genuine customer orientation: asking what problem the customer has before asking how to build the feature Understanding of SaaS unit economics, the commercial implications of architectural choices, and how to reason about scale from a product perspective as well as a systems one An understanding of what twenty years of software history means in a production system - no assumption of greenfield, and no treatment of legacy as only debt; it is accumulated context Structure and discipline as cognitive defaults, not imposed processes - thorough, well reasoned artefacts, and a habit of leaving things clearer than they were found An ability to connect dots across a large picture with many moving parts, make a call, and communicate it clearly - rather than waiting for certainty that will not arrive Self Direction and Strategic Initiative A proactive self starter who identifies the right problems to work on without being told, and drives them to resolution Comfortable acting independently within a set of principles, while keeping the right stakeholders informed and in sync - not seeking permission, but maintaining alignment Thrives with ambiguity and treats it as a problem to be structured, not a reason to pause Learning Orientation - Not Encyclopaedic Knowledge Able to reach a solution even without all the knowledge in front of them - a problem solver who knows how to navigate to an answer, not a mnemonic database AI tooling treated as a core capability multiplier, with a real daily practice in design work, documentation, research synthesis, and prototyping Stays ahead of where the market and the technology are going, and brings that signal back into product and architecture decisions Bonus Points Background in email security, threat detection, DLP, identity, or data platforms Familiarity with agentic AI, MCP (Model Context Protocol), or LLM application architecture Experience with eval design for AI features, product discovery practices, or data contract / data mesh approaches Exposure to M365 or GWS integration patterns, SMTP relay architecture, or cloud native security SaaS What We Offer Impact: architecture decisions that protect millions of mailboxes and shape the technical direction of one of Mimecast's core product pillars Voice: a direct working relationship with the Chief Architect and a genuine say in technology direction - not an advisory lane Senior peers: a small, high trust Architecture Leadership Team where everyone operates at a high level Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent demonstrable experience 10+ years of professional software engineering and architecture experience, with at least 3 years in a senior architecture or principal engineering role A track record of product shaping responsibility, not just technical delivery Active, daily use of AI development tools in a professional setting - not experimentation, practice Equal Opportunity Employer Mimecast is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace.
