Who we are and what is important to us:
Beyond unifies three technology-driven brands, Wonde, Evouchers and Secure Schools.
Each brand shares a vision to reduce the friction of adapting technology, to help customers navigate an often overwhelming area and provide powerful solutions that make their everyday life easier.

We do not limit ourselves to standing still. We look ahead and strive to disrupt the sector we operate in. We believe technology should not be complicated or overwhelming. It should do what it says - quickly, safely and efficiently.
Job snapshot:
As our Senior Security Engineer, your expertise and insights will ensure that effective security measures are embedded within Beyond’s use of AWS and throughout the DevSecOps lifecycle. We like to empower teams to deliver security, and this role is an enabler in the continuous achievement of this.
Security is the fabric of our business and at the heart of everything we do. We're big believers in the idea that security isn't just something we tack on, it's woven into the very core of our technologies, how we operate and our company culture.

- Identify security risks proactively and collaborate on mitigation strategies that are pragmatic and aligned with business goals.
- Provide expert security guidance to engineering and product teams, ensuring secure-by-design development and deployment of new features.
- Support incident response processes, offering technical insight and strategic recommendations as needed.
- Line management of one team member, including day-to-day support, regular check-ins, task prioritisation, and helping with development and performance conversations.
- Champion a culture of continuous improvement by constructively challenging existing security decisions and practices.

- At least 3 year’s experience in a security role, with a proven track record of operating at a senior level, taking ownership, driving initiatives, and delivering meaningful impact.

- Demonstrated ability to assess, plan, and implement cloud security controls, including up-to-date experience with AWS.
- Knowledge and expertise with cloud security platforms such as AWS GuardDuty, Inspector, and Control Tower and third-party platforms such as Cloud Security Posture Management and SIEM systems.
- Proficiency with DevSecOps practices, including embedding security components within build pipelines.
- Skilled with common scripting languages such as PowerShell, Python, or similar.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, combined with a proactive, innovative mindset suited to a fast-paced environment.
- Self-starter who can take full ownership of work from concept through to execution, creating real impact in a small, agile team.
