THE ROLE 📝 

You’ll design, implement, and maintain defensive security controls that protect our high-availability, multi-cloud payment systems built on modern technologies.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR  🔍 

Essential

• Your security expertise extends to at least one public cloud, including essential security features and long-term security hardening practices 
• You have a good grounding in Kubernetes security and have ideally developed complex, heavily customised multi-cluser environments 
• You appreciate building systems with good engineering practices and may have a background in software engineering at scale 
• You’re open to being a part of our on-call rota, ready to respond if we have a severe, platform-impacting security tooling failure or need second-line security incident response assistance 

 

Desirable 

• You have an interest in offensive security, potentially including participation in CTFs and past experience as a red team operator or pen tester 
• You’ve developed security configurations in multiple public and private clouds 
• You’re a confident presenter and have accelerated appreciation of security across engineering teams 
• You regularly support building and analysis of threat models using a well defined process 
• You have experience securing data centers and networking devices 
• You’re terrified by supply chain and CI/CD security, but have good patterns for reducing the risks 
• Your engineering experiences matches Form3’s tech stack – including Golang and Terraform

• AWS, GCP, Azure and private Data Centers 
• Kubernetes, Helm, Flux 
• Distributed systems, mostly Golang based with CockroachDB and NATS 
• SIEM/SOAR, EDR, CNAPP, and a suite of open source tools with custom integrations
