What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly skilled Cybersecurity Engineer to join our dynamic cybersecurity team
- This is a hands-on role focused on building, automating, and securing our cloud-based SaaS infrastructure and products
- The ideal candidate will have a strong background in both application and cloud security, with a passion for designing and implementing robust security solutions to protect our systems, data, and services from evolving threats
- Secure Software Development: Champion security throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). Conduct threat modeling, perform code analysis (SAST), and integrate security tools into CI/CD pipelines to identify and remediate vulnerabilities early
- Cloud Security Architecture: Collaborate with DevOps to enhance and maintain the security of our existing cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP). Continuously identify opportunities to strengthen security controls across infrastructure, platforms, and services—covering network, container, and serverless technologies. Provide input and guidance to shape future cloud security designs and best practices
- Security Automation & Orchestration: Develop and deploy automation scripts, tools, and workflows to streamline security operations. Automate incident response, threat hunting, compliance checks, and remediation processes
- Vulnerability Management & Penetration Testing: Proactively identify and mitigate security weaknesses by conducting dynamic application security testing (DAST), infrastructure vulnerability scanning, and coordinating penetration tests

Our take
Octus, formerly Reorg, is a global provider of credit intelligence, data and analysis of issues affecting the distressed debt, event-driven and leveraged finance markets. The company sets itself apart by taking an approach that combines reporting with financial and legal analysis, providing a holistic view and delivering that view in real-time.
Octus has fundamentally changed the way in which financial and legal professionals access complex business information. Its service reaches over 25,000 people across a variety of institutions and its subscription-based service is giving organisations the ability to replace the work of junior attorneys.
Octus garnered considerable interest from several private equity and strategic rivals due to its expensive subscription-based services that have proven to result in stable growth for clients. Octus's services are particularly valuable and its 2022 buyout by British global investment firm Permira opens the doors to vast opportunities for Octus's further growth.
