About the Company

Hyre AI is partnering with a fast-growing, well-funded cybersecurity company on a mission to solve one of the biggest challenges on the modern internet: proving who’s human in a world dominated by bots, scripts, and AI impersonators. Their technology protects some of the most trusted names in financial services and beyond, and they’ve just raised a multi-million seed round to accelerate growth. Now they’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, exceptional team building the future of online trust.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be at the core of how our client builds and runs their platform; you won’t just be building features - You will help strengthen and evolve an already-live product, bringing structure and engineering judgment to an environment where foundations exist, but priorities and solutions are still being shaped as the company grows.

You’ll design and scale high-throughput APIs and microservices that power AI-driven fraud and bot detection engines.

*

You’ll work on production systems where latency, reliability, and real-world failure modes genuinely matter, and where engineering decisions have immediate customer impact.

*

You’ll work directly with founders, product, and research teams to deeply understand emerging threats, and build systems that turn detection insights into operational reality.

*

You’ll be encouraged to experiment, challenge convention, and proactively identify areas for improvement.

NB: Please note, this role requires 3-4 days on-site in the office, ~ 5mins from Liverpool St Station.

Required Skills

*

3-5 Years of professional experience in software engineering.

*

Experience with TypeScript and/or Go is beneficial (but not mandatory)

*

Strong foundation in Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines.

*

A resourceful, first-principles mindset; someone who thrives in ambiguity

*

Ownership, curiosity, and a commitment to building things that last

*

High-energy, thoughtful problem-solving, and a low-ego approach to collaboration

*

Experience in an early-stage start-up or scaling environment would be a huge bonus

Pay range and compensation package

*

Competitive salary: £70,000 - £80,000

*

Stock options – share in the company’s growth

*

Employer-matched pension

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.

How to Write a Cyber Security Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Cyber security is now a board-level priority for organisations across the UK. From financial services and healthcare to critical infrastructure, SaaS platforms and the public sector, demand for skilled cyber security professionals continues to grow. Yet despite this demand, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Cyber security job adverts often generate large volumes of applications, but few are a genuine match. Meanwhile, experienced security engineers, analysts and architects quietly ignore adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from real security work. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is the quality of the job advert. Cyber security professionals are trained to assess risk, spot weaknesses and question assumptions. A poorly written job ad signals organisational immaturity and weak security culture. A well-written one signals seriousness, competence and trust. This guide explains how to write a cyber security job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible security employer.
