Security Engineering Manager, Defence

To meet our customer needs, our software needs to be available to them. And it’s our work that makes that possible: - from deployment architectures that can exploit the cloud, but run on physical hardware if needed - through security patterns that can comply with the more stringent requirements, but don’t slow developers - to monitoring and operational tools that support managing the platform.

The Security Engineering team is responsible for providing guidance in security best practices, reviewing and implementing solutions to unlock ways of working that are efficient and secure.

A fundamental part of our team is to research and share in-depth security knowledge of products, libraries, and services we base our product on, enabling engineering teams to make the correct decisions as they innovate and create the future of simulated worlds for defense.
