Description
Thought Machine’s mission is bold – to properly and permanently rid the world’s banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking and built core and payments technology which runs natively in the cloud. What we are attempting is hard and means we need great people working together to build great technology.
We have grown rapidly in the past few years – growing our team to more than 500 individuals across offices in London, New York, Singapore and Sydney. We have raised more than $500m in funding and are now valued at $2.7bn. Our investors include Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Temasek, Nyca Partners, JPMorgan Chase, Standard Chartered, and more.
To move closer to achieving our mission, we are looking for highly talented individuals to join our security team. Our unique culture brings together a talented group of diverse problem solvers to design, build, and maintain security within our products and our company’s systems and services.
Security Engineering Managers at Thought Machine lead security engineering in delivering on our company roadmap. To accomplish this, you will manage a group of talented security engineers as they identify issues and implement creative solutions to address them. You will contribute to security strategy, manage your own project deliverables, and help develop and grow your team. We are particularly excited to hear from people who show strong ownership of outcomes and enjoy switching between engineering management and being hands-on with technical work.
The Security Engineering team covers the following areas:
- Designs and reviews to build secure services and platforms
- Threat modelling to identify relevant areas of focus
- Define the best in class protective and detective security controls
- Development of security tooling and automation
- Implement and maintain cutting-edge tools and capabilities
A large part of the Thought Machine security function is greenfield; we are building the bank of tomorrow with cutting-edge technology. To achieve this, we need innovative thinking to create security solutions for our products and infrastructure. We look for people who think outside the box and outside of traditional silos to find unique solutions and approaches to security that lead the industry.
