Senior Security Enablement Engineer Job Leatherhead area,England UK,Security

We’re adding to our security capability and we are looking for someone who can move the needle, not a ticket-taker, but an experienced engineer who takes initiative, builds things, and genuinely partners with our product and engineering teams and the wider business
You’ll use your deep security expertise not only to solve complex problems, but to raise the security capability of the teams around you
Reactive work eats into time that should be spent on proactive, strategic programmes
You will change that dynamic: by building security tooling and processes that scale, identifying risks and capability gaps, and turning them into impactful improvements
By embedding yourself in our engineering culture you’ll make security an integral part of how teams build and enable engineers to make good security decisions
You will function primarily as an enabler, working across our stream-aligned engineering teams to build security knowledge, tooling, and practice where the work actually happens
An integral part of your impact will come through coaching others, sharing knowledge and creating scalable practices that raise the security bar for our Engineering Team
You will own security engineering outcomes - acting as SME, identifying cross-functional opportunities, and driving improvements through to impact
Partner with engineering teams to introduce tooling that makes secure coding the path of least resistance. Identify opportunities to improve the security experience and take ownership of delivering improvements that materially reduce risk or friction
Collaborate with platform engineers to weave security into CI/CD pipelines, our cloud environment and code review workflows, without creating friction or bottlenecks. Establish reusable patterns and practices that enable teams to adopt secure-by-default approaches
Work with engineering leads to identify and prioritise process & tooling improvements against our real risk landscape, building shared agreement on what matters most
Proactively identify security knowledge and capability gaps, and build confidence across Phorest engineering through collaborative threat-modelling sessions, documentation, and hands-on pairing, so teams can make good security decisions independently
Embed with stream-aligned product teams at key stages like design, architecture review, pre-launch to provide security input as a trusted peer, not an external auditor. Coach teams through complex security decisions, helping them build their own capability
Act as a subject matter expert and trusted partner between Security and Product & Engineering, helping teams understand security and compliance requirements
Share security learnings, emerging threats and lessons from incidents across Engineering, creating reusable guidance that raises the baseline of secure engineering and proactively creates awareness for how teams consider security
Work alongside the broader security and IT team to proactively monitor security signals and alerts, identify patterns and build shared situational awareness across the team
Identify and assess emerging security risks and opportunities, conduct exploratory risk analysis that shapes the security programme roadmap, bringing in the engineering perspective you’ve built through close team relationships
Build out security requirements and review processes for our AWS-hosted, multi-tenant SaaS environment
Contribute to the on-call rota, providing security coverage for incidents as they arise
Support security incident response end to end, from initial triage and containment through to post-incident review and remediation tracking
