About the Role
Modulr is seeking a Security Engineer to join our Information Security team. This hands-on role involves implementing and managing security controls across cloud, network, and infrastructure environments. You will work closely with DevOps and Platform teams to embed security into infrastructure and delivery workflows, contributing to strengthening Modulr’s cloud and network security posture.
Key Responsibilities
- →Own the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of information security controls across cloud, application, platform, and corporate environments.
- →Treat security controls as internal platform capabilities, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and easy for engineering teams to consume.
- →Work closely with software engineering, platform, and data teams to embed security controls into systems, pipelines, and shared services.
- →Design and promote secure by default patterns and guardrails to reduce risk without slowing delivery.
- →Identify gaps, overlaps, and weaknesses in existing controls and lead engineering driven improvements.
- →Actively participate in the security incident response process, supporting detection, investigation, containment, and remediation activities.
- →Ensure security controls provide high quality detection, alerting, and forensic signals to support effective incident response.
- →Use incident learnings to drive durable improvements in control design, coverage, and automation.
- →Define and track meaningful technical measures of control effectiveness and detection quality.
- →Apply automation, including AI and agent-based techniques where appropriate, to improve security engineering efficiency, detection, and response.
- →Evaluate risks, failure modes, and abuse scenarios introduced by new security controls and automation before production use.
- →Operate and integrate security tooling with logging, monitoring, and engineering platforms, prioritising signal quality and simplicity.
- →Partner with governance and risk teams by providing technical input, evidence, and assurance, without owning policy or risk acceptance decisions.
- →Contribute technical expertise to audits and regulatory engagements in a regulated fintech environment.
Requirements

- ✓You have worked closely with software engineering and platform teams and can influence technical decisions through credibility and pragmatism.
- ✓You think in systems, favouring secure by default patterns and scalable solutions over bespoke or ticket driven security work.
- ✓You have practical experience contributing to security incident response and understand how protection, detection, and response capabilities are engineered.
- ✓You are comfortable making and defending technical trade-offs where security, reliability, and delivery pressures intersect.
- ✓You are pragmatic, risk focused, and outcome driven.
