Description At Engine by Starling , we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology. Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and two years ago we split out as a separate business. Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success. We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies. As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering led company and we're looking for someone who will be excited by the potential for Engine's technology to transform banking in different markets around the world. Hybrid Working We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. About the Role To support our rapid growth, we are looking for talented engineers to join our foundational in-house SecOps team. This is a "Full-Stack" security role: you will move beyond traditional monitoring to develop and operate our security capabilities. We are looking for engineers who are masters of automation but remain grounded in analyst fundamentals. You should have a keen interest in leveraging AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to reduce SOC toil - using AI to summarise complex alerts, auto-generate YARA-L detections, or build intelligent playbooks to stay ahead of modern threats. Responsibilities Security Monitoring & Alert Triage: Active Monitoring: Monitor security alerts and events generated by the SecOps platform and integrated cloud security tools. Triage & Analysis: Perform deep-dive analysis of security incidents and anomalies, accurately distinguishing between true positives and false positives. Prioritisation: Manage the incident queue, prioritising alerts based on severity, potential impact, and business criticality. Detection Engineering & Automation (IaC): Detection as Code: Design and maintain sophisticated detection logic using YARA-L. Manage the lifecycle of these rules and configurations using IaC principles for version control. SOAR Extension: Lead the automation of response playbooks. You will write and extend SOAR capabilities using Python, creating custom integrations and "Managers" to connect SecOps with internal APIs. Tool Optimisation: Identify opportunities for automation to streamline operations and contribute to the continuous tuning and maintenance of SOC tools. Incident Response & Investigation: End-to-End Investigation: Investigate incidents thoroughly, leveraging logs from platforms, endpoints, and applications mapped to the Unified Data Model (UDM). Incident Lifecycle: Lead containment, eradication, and recovery efforts in collaboration with Security and Technology teams. Documentation: Maintain comprehensive records of incident details, findings, and remediation steps to ensure a high standard of auditability. Collaboration & Threat Intelligence: Group Collaboration: Work closely with the Group SOC team to align on global security standards and coordinate response efforts during cross-entity incidents. Threat Hunting: Stay informed about the latest cyber threats and cloud-specific vulnerabilities, conducting proactive threat-hunting activities using available telemetry. Requirements 3+ years of experience in a SOC or SecOps Engineering role, with a strong background in both alert triage and security engineering. Proficiency in Python: Ability to write clean code to automate workflows or interact with security APIs. Cloud Fluency: Experience with security monitoring and incident response in cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure). Infrastructure as Code: Familiarity with managing security configurations through Git-based workflows. Framework Knowledge: Strong understanding of attack vectors and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Education: A degree in a cyber-related field or relevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CySA+, GCIH) is beneficial. Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you! Our interviews are conversational and we want to get the best from you, so come with questions and be curious. In general you can expect the below, following a chat with one of our Talent Team: Stage 1 - 45 mins technical intereview Stage 2 - Take home task Stage 3 - 60 min with Team Members Stage 4 - Final with CTO Benefits 33 days holiday (including public holidays, which you can take when it works best for you) An extra day's holiday for your birthday Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off 16 hours paid volunteering time a year Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme Life insurance at 4x your salary & group income protection Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care. Partner benefits include discounts with Waitrose, Mr&Mrs Smith and Peloton Generous family-friendly policies Incentives refer a friend scheme Perkbox membership giving access to retail discounts, a wellness platform for physical and mental health, and weekly free and boosted perks Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work, Salary Sacrificed Gym partnerships and Electric Vehicle (EV) leasing About Us You may be put off applying for a role because you don't tick every box. Forget that! While we can't accommodate every flexible working request, we're always open to discussion. So, if you're excited about working with us, but aren't sure if you're 100% there yet, get in touch anyway. We're on a mission to radically reshape banking - and that starts with our brilliant team. Whatever came before, we're proud to bring together people of all backgrounds and experiences who love working together to solve problems.

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and two years ago we split out as a separate business. Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success. We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies. Hybrid Working We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. About the role This role isn't a standard, fixed-domain position; it is the launchpad for a career-defining journey. You will start your journey in Core Banking , learning the absolute guts of a bank, including ledgers and accounting. As you master these fundamentals and our organisation continues to scale, you will need the flexibility to pivot and support other domains, such as payments, savings, and lending, to meet business needs. We know exactly where this journey starts, but we don't know where it ends. If you are highly adaptable, love to learn, and want to understand how a modern bank truly functions from the inside out, this role is for you. Hear more from the team in some case studies, below, and our work with Women In Tech . Product in Practice Requirements Professional Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience in a product, engineering, data, business analysis, or highly analytical role, ideally within a fast-paced environment. Eager Learner: A massive appetite for learning, listening, and growing within an organisation that is constantly expanding (Great to have). FinTech Exposure: Prior experience or a strong baseline understanding of FinTech, or a regulated banking/lending environment (Nice to have). Technical Foundation: An engineering background, technical experience, or deep technical curiosity (Nice to have). Adaptable Core: A background or mindset that thrives on flexibility; you are excited about starting in Core Banking (ledgers and accounting) and eventually moving into payments, savings, or lending as the business evolves. Execution Track Record: Experience managing your own time effectively, meeting deadlines, and delivering well-scoped tasks with some guidance. Educational Foundation: A relevant bachelor's degree (or equivalent educational background) with a foundation in Maths or STEM subjects, would be desirable Your skills Navigating Ambiguity: You are entirely comfortable working in an environment where the starting point is clear but the long-term path is undefined. You stay grounded through shifting priorities, view an evolving landscape as a learning opportunity, and thrive within a flat structure. Backlog & Ticket Management: You can write clean, detailed, and unambiguous user stories and requirements issues with explicit acceptance criteria. Technical Literacy: You understand the basic architectural stack of a product area (e.g., frontend vs. backend, what an API does) and enjoy getting into the technical details with engineers. Basic Data Analysis: You are competent with (or ready to quickly master) product analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog, ) to track feature usage and leverage quantitative data alongside user feedback to make small-scale trade-offs. Clear Communication & Stakeholder Management: You can clearly explain the "what "how", and "why" behind the immediate feature backlog to your engineering and design triad, and you confidently flag blockers early to your manager. Active Listening & Coachability: You place a heavy focus on self-development; you actively seek out feedback, take structured notes, and demonstrate visible behavioural changes based on input. Dependability & Handling Ambiguity: You are highly dependable, deliver assigned tasks on time, and remain comfortable navigating ambiguity within a flat, fast-moving team structure. Interview process Interviewing is a two way process and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you!

Forget that! While we can't accommodate every flexible working request, we're always open to discussion. So, if you're excited about working with us, but aren't sure if you're 100% there yet, get in touch anyway. We're on a mission to radically reshape banking - and that starts with our brilliant team.
