Company mission
To solve the complex challenges of database management and ensure security across the DevOps lifecycle.
Role
Who you are
- Hands-on product or application security experience, embedding security practices across a modern software development lifecycle
- Ability to review code and communicate security issues clearly to developers, primarily within a C# ecosystem, with exposure to Java or Python
- Strong knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and practical mitigation patterns
- Experience implementing or improving SAST/DAST processes: tool tuning, triage workflows, and reducing signal to noise
- Working understanding of cloud and container security fundamentals, ideally with AWS and Docker
What the job involves
- Redgate's product teams move fast, across a growing set of AI and cloud-native technologies, and security can't just be a gate at the end of that process
- This role exists to embed security expertise directly into how our engineering teams build and ship software: setting the standards, running the threat modelling, and making the judgement calls that keep pace with delivery instead of slowing it down
- Redgate brings together people who want to do their best work in an environment built on trust, accountability, and collaboration
- We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases their organisations depend on, a space that's only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates
- This role sits within our Product Security function, embedded across multiple product and engineering teams rather than a single one
- You'll define and operationalise security requirements throughout the SDLC, from initial design through to release, with real authority to make independent security calls rather than deferring to what a scanner tells you
- It's a role built on trust: teams will come to you for guidance, and the judgement you bring to triage, threat modelling, and governance decisions will shape how security actually gets done here
- Partner directly with engineering and product teams to define and operationalise security requirements across the full SDLC
- Own or co-own application security governance: secure-by-default standards, patterns, guardrails, and risk exceptions
- Lead threat modelling for new features and architectural changes, turning findings into practical engineering work
- Drive SAST/DAST adoption and quality, from tool tuning to severity calibration and developer-facing triage guidance
- Support product teams adopting AI, including LLMs, SLMs, and MCP, giving you visibility into work most security roles wouldn't touch
Application process
- Your application will be reviewed by a person. We don't use AI or automated tools to assess applications, and 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.
