Senior Security Engineer, Zinc Work

• What we need is someone who builds security controls and capabilities, helping to establish things like our AI tool governance process, and embeds secure-by-design thinking into how we build and operate
• If you want to write policies and sit in a compliance function, this isn't the right fit
• If you want to shape how a genuinely AI-native business does security, keep reading
• Security engineering background- you identify and build controls, not just document them
• Cloud security experience (AWS)
• Familiarity with security/architecture frameworks
• Secure-by-design engineering principles
• 3+ years in a security engineering role
• Ability to influence without authority and communicate security risk in plain language
