At King, we strive to continuously evolve and modernise the products and services that power our games. We are now adopting a shift left security model, where security is a forefront consideration from the earliest point in the software development lifecycle. To ensure the success of this model, and to support additional security initiatives that will manage and reduce risk in how we create, ship and host our games and platform services, we are creating a new Platform Security team. The primary goal of this team is to ensure security best practices and awareness are at the centre of everything we do.
We are looking for an experienced Security Engineer who is passionate about all aspects of information security to join this new team focussed on delivering platform security features and tooling for our Cloud-hosted Game Platform. You will advocate for secure development practices and drive a program to deliver a secure software supply chain for King products. You will deliver tooling to ensure every artefact shipped is analysed, audited and secure and that the cloud hosting environments meet our exacting standards for security. As we move to a world where everything is secure by default, you will also ensure that operationally we are well positioned to react quickly to critical vulnerabilities and other threats to King assets, providing signals to our product development teams as necessary.
