I am currently recruiting for a fully funded UK-based financial technology start-up. They are using cloud and blockchain technology to simplify trade through a secure, compliant and scalable platform that reduces cost and friction and increases operational efficiency and transparency that mitigates overall risk, focusing on derivatives trading.

Don’t worry if you don’t know much about Blockchain and Derivatives, most of the team didn’t have this domain knowledge when they first joined (as you go through the interview process this will be discussed).

We are looking for a Platform Lead Engineer with the necessary “roll-your-sleeves up” attitude required for a fast-moving start up. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will be responsible for architecture, engineering, technical leadership and strategy, while collaborating with security, operations, and compliance teams to ensure platform services meet regulatory and internal standards.

You will need the following skills and experience:
• Strong commercial experience in designing and building scalable platform services in a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Proven track record of designing IAM solutions, observability frameworks, and operational tools.
• Deep experience with event-driven architectures and distributed systems design.
• Solid understanding of secure software development practices and regulatory frameworks such as ISO27001.
• Hands-on experience with TypesScript or similar backend languages.
• Strong experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, etc.).
• Excellent leadership, communication, and mentoring skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and highly mission-driven environment.

Majority of the engineering team is currently based in their Cambridge Science Park office, operating under a hybrid working model, going into the office 2-3 days a week, with occasional visits to the London office. They are offering a salary of up to £110,000 (depending on experience) plus benefits and share options.

If this sounds like the sort of role that would be of interest, please get in touch with me by:
• Sending an email to (url removed)
• Messaging me on LinkedIn - Sabrina Velosa | LinkedIn
We can then agree on a time to discuss further and if you have a CV at hand, please send

The Future of Cybersecurity Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Cyber security has become one of the most critical issues of our age. Once regarded as a technical problem confined to IT departments, it is now a board-level priority, a government mandate, and a daily necessity for individuals. The shift towards cloud services, remote working, connected devices, and artificial intelligence has dramatically increased the risks of digital attacks. In the UK, cyber security is central to national resilience. The government has identified cyber as a “tier one” threat to national security, alongside terrorism and pandemics. The private sector, from banks to retailers, now sees data breaches and ransomware as existential risks. Global spending on cyber security is projected to exceed $250 billion by 2030, with the UK already home to a thriving cyber industry employing tens of thousands. Yet, as powerful as the industry already is, we are only at the beginning. The technologies shaping the next two decades—AI, quantum computing, edge computing, extended reality, and biotechnology—will radically reshape cyber security. Many of the most vital cyber security jobs of the future don’t exist yet. This article explores why new roles will emerge, the careers likely to appear, how today’s jobs will evolve, why the UK is well-positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
