Cambridge - Hybrid
Up to £110,000

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

How to Get a Better Cyber Security Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy is never easy—especially in a fast-moving field like cyber security, where your skills and experience are constantly evolving. But if you’ve recently been made redundant from a cyber security role, know this: the UK cyber workforce remains in high demand, and your expertise is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re a SOC analyst, penetration tester, incident responder, security architect or GRC specialist, there are still thousands of opportunities across sectors including finance, defence, government, retail, and critical infrastructure. This guide will help you turn redundancy into a career relaunch, with a clear action plan tailored to the UK cyber security job market.

Cyber Security Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Check Your Market Value in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey no longer protects you. “Could I earn more at a managed SOC?” “Is that fintech’s offer really competitive?” Every UK cyber‑security professional asks some version of those questions—usually after another colleague lands a pay rise, a recruiter sends a tempting JD, or a fresh breach makes headline news. Yet salary guides published even last year feel as out‑of‑date as a forgotten antivirus signature. Since 2024, ransomware gangs switched to double‑extortion, deepfake phishing exploded, & the EU’s NIS2/DORA regulations bled into UK contracts despite Brexit. With each shift, salary bands move. To cut through stale averages, CybersecurityJobs.tech distilled a three‑factor formula that lets you estimate a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your role, your UK region, & your seniority level. The output arms you with data‑driven leverage for your next appraisal, job application, or freelance rate card. This article explains the formula, reveals the forces pushing cyber pay ever higher, & outlines five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.

How to Present Cyber Security Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a board-level priority.

This guide will help cyber security job seekers develop one of the most in-demand soft skills in the industry: public speaking. You’ll learn how to simplify complex concepts, structure effective presentations, use storytelling and analogies, and handle common stakeholder questions with confidence.
