ABOUT THE POSITION
We are looking for an Infrastructure Security Engineer with a strong cross
platform engineering background and practical exposure to modern platform
security controls to help our global team secure Jane Street’s IT platforms. In
this role, you’ll need strong judgement and discerning taste to prioritise
potentially complex and extensive remediation efforts. You'll help decide where
we focus our resources, providing technical advice and making decisions on
behalf of the group where needed. We're looking for builders: people who spend
their time writing code and automation (e.g. PowerShell modules, Python) and
integrating security products via their APIs, rather than primarily configuring
and operating the tools themselves.
In this role, you will proactively propose, design, test, implement and document
strategic security controls. You will coordinate and deliver security solutions
across our IT platforms while identifying opportunities to further automate
intelligent workflows. You will help secure internal IT and remote working
platforms through a combination of hands-on technical work, consultancy and
security influence to the wider IT team. This role will encompass a range of
responsibilities, including building security controls that scale, investigating
emerging threats, developing new security tooling and driving vulnerability
management initiatives.
This position sits within our IT Engineering group, a highly dedicated team of
engineers who monitor and manage our environment across a physical/virtual
computing landscape that spans three continents. Your analytical thinking and
expertise will be invaluable as we support the daily work of our colleagues and
keep our systems operating at the highest standard.
