Platform Engineer (Cyber Security Experience)
Full-time
Office: London
Genomics England partners with the NHS to provide whole genome sequencing diagnostics. We also equip researchers to find the causes of disease and develop new treatments – with patients and participants at the heart of it all.
Our mission is to continue refining, scaling, and evolving our ability to enable others to deliver genomic healthcare and conduct genomic research.
As a Platform Engineer (Security) within the Cyber Security squad, you will contribute to the standardisation of security best practices across Genomics England, using Automation and Configuration as Code to achieve this.
Working closely with our Platform Engineers and Solution Architects, you will ensure the fast, smooth rollout of new designs and products, as well as assist with the deployment and maintenance of new security tools.
You will also be responsible for automating security processes and ensuring AWS best practices are upheld across the Engineering Chapter.
Skills and Experience for Success:
AWS Security Services (AWS Config, AWS Inspector, AWS Security Hub, AWS Guard Duty, AWS CloudTrail).
Experience managing, building, and operating 3rd Party Security Software including: DarkTrace, CrowdStrike, CloudFlare.
Knowledge of Terraform & Ansible.
Experience with CI/CD – ideally GitLab CI.
Previous experience working in a DevOps/Squad Culture.
Good scripting skills - candidates should be comfortable with writing AWS Lambdas in a language of their choosing (i.e. Python or other).
Qualifications are not essential but any AWS, Terraform or Ansible Certifications are always helpful! Being Certified in ‘AWS Certified Security – Specialty’ would be highly desirable.
Salary from £71,000
We continually improve our benefits package to support our people, which includes:
30 days’ holiday (plus bank holidays), with additional days for long service awards
A generous pension scheme of up to 15% combined contribution
Life Assurance (3 x salary)
Individual learning budgets for every colleague, a Blinkist account, and a wide variety of courses on our portal
