London, United Kingdom Man Group Full time

Head of InfoSec Engineering

The Role

The Infosec Engineering team is responsible for defining and implementing technology that improves the security of our estate and makes it easier for engineers to make better security choices. The team works closely with the Infosec team, who are responsible for SecOps and risk compliance, as well as the other infrastructure and development teams.

As the manager of this small team, you should have some experience as team or technology lead and be familiar with the technical detail of the work. For example, one day you may be working with vendors to select the next network monitoring hardware/software, and the next helping automate IAM/JLT processes using Python against an API.

This is a very collaborative role, and you will work with engineers and managers across Man at all levels. The role requires you to be able to understand technology to a deep level, but also communicate to stakeholders, and provide guidance and leadership.

You will be an ambassador and champion for improving security, with a passion for how security can be improved balancing the trade-off between productivity and risk.
 

Our Technology

Our end-user platform consists of a mix of Windows and Mac laptops and desktops. We operate a hybrid WFH model, so many users are connected over our GlobalProtect VPN.

On servers we run a mix of Windows and Linux (physical, and virtualized in VMWare and Openstack). Linux is used to provide a developer/researcher desktop environment, accessed through Citrix.

We run a mix of Crowdstrike, Proofpoint, Tessian, Tenable and other 3rd party tools to monitor and gather information about our estate. In addition we build tools using primarily Python to automate solutions.

Our technologists and researchers use a constantly evolving set of systems, tools, and libraries. Most of our code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the open-source libraries we use extensively. We implement the systems that require the highest data throughput in Java and C++.

We use Airflow for workflow management, Kafka for data pipelines, Bitbucket for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, ELK for log shipping and monitoring, Docker and Kubernetes for containerisation, OpenStack for our private cloud, Ansible and Terraform for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication.

Working Here
