Company mission
To solve the complex challenges of database management and ensure security across the DevOps lifecycle.
Role
Who you are
- Hands‑on security engineering or security operations experience
- Strong IAM knowledge at protocol level (OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC) - you’ve debugged implementations, not just read about it
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (ideally Terraform) and use of automation
- Familiarity with secure SDLC practices, version control, and peer review
- Experience conducting vendor security reviews and third‑party risk assessments
- Practical vulnerability management experience – you're used to judging the real-world risks, not just looking at baseline CVSS scores
- Incident response experience, including investigation, remediation, and root cause analysis Working knowledge of Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, and KQL
- A background in sys admin or engineering that gives you intuition for how systems actually fail
- A mindset that security exists to enable the business
- Comfortable using AI tools as part of your daily work
- Strong communication skills with both technical and non‑technical audiences
What the job involves
- Security at Redgate is a hands‑on engineering discipline. This role exists to design, build, and operate security controls that protect our people, products, and customers
- We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases that their organizations depend on - a space that's only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates
- Broad, meaningful scope - Working across our cloud & physical infrastructure, alongside our development teams and ISO27001-aligned information security group, you'll be working to bring on new vendors, assess risk, and fix vulnerabilities
- Genuinely modern challenges - From AI governance and shadow IT to supply chain risk and secure-by-design engineering, tackle relevant problems across a fast-moving global software business
- A team that grows you - Work in a hands-on team tackling a diverse set of challenges, developing your career and investing in your future
- Design, build, and operate security controls across infrastructure and applications
- Investigate issues hands‑on, sometimes outside office hours, when things genuinely matter
- Work closely with engineers and business teams to enable secure delivery
- Work alongside our commercial teams to give our customers the confidence to securely deploy our products
Application process
- Your application will be reviewed by a person – we don’t use AI or automated tools to assess applications. Every profile is read by one of our Talent Partners
- You’ll hear back within a few days – whether it’s a next step or a no, we aim to respond promptly so you’re not left wondering
- Our interview process is straightforward and consistent – you’ll find more detail on our typical hiring process below, so you know what’s coming and why
Our take
As businesses become increasingly dependent on data, managing databases has become more complex. Companies need to move quickly while keeping systems secure and reliable. However, many still depend on manual processes and disconnected teams, making it harder to manage modern data infrastructure, especially as AI and cloud technologies continue to grow.
Redgate is helping companies tackle these challenges through database DevOps and lifecycle management tools. Its platform helps teams automate database changes, improve collaboration, and manage systems more efficiently and securely. Redgate, then, supports organisations throughout the full database development and deployment process.
More than 200,000 data professionals worldwide use Redgate's solutions too, signifying just how strong a position it has in the market. And with recent backing from Bregal Sagemount, the company plans to accelerate product innovation and expand even further so it can keep up with the ever-growing demand for secure, scalable data management.
