• Mentoring and inspiring: Be the security specialist, mentoring engineers and fostering a security-first culture. 

• Collaborating globally: Work with external globally recognised security researchers as part of our pen-test, bounty, research, and uplift programs. Security doesn’t stop at our walls—it’s a team sport, and you’ll be helping us connect with the industry to ensure we're a team player.
