Security

Hire application and cloud security engineers

Practical security work that closes real gaps.

Most security problems in software are ordinary: forgotten permissions, unreviewed dependencies, secrets in the wrong place. A good security engineer finds them early and helps developers fix them without slowing delivery down.

We place senior security engineers with hands-on experience in application security, cloud configuration and testing. They work with your developers rather than handing over a report and leaving.

What they typically own

  • Reviewing application code and architecture for common vulnerabilities
  • Auditing cloud accounts for risky permissions and configuration
  • Threat modelling new features before they're built
  • Supporting penetration tests and fixing what they find
  • Preparing evidence and controls for customer security reviews and audits

How we vet

What we look for in security engineers

On top of our standard assessment (system design, coding and references), we test the things that matter most for this role.

Practical threat reasoning

Candidates analyse a realistic system, rank the risks and propose proportionate fixes.

Developer collaboration

We assess how they explain findings so engineers act on them.

Hands-on depth

References and technical discussion confirm experience beyond running scanners.

Questions

Before you hire

Can your engineers run a penetration test?

Some can, and others can support a third-party test and fix the findings. We'll match based on what you need.

Do you provide certification or audit services?

We provide engineers who help you prepare. Formal audits and certifications come from independent auditors.
