Hybrid Working

We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Starling - our preference is that you’re located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we’re able to interact and collaborate in person.

Our Engineering Environment

Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be. Hear from the team in our latest blogs or our case studies with Women in Tech .

We are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team. We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they make to Starling. People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Starling, to continue changing banking for good.

As a Cloud Security Engineer at Starling, you’ll be building and supporting tooling and infrastructure that spans across AWS and GCP supporting our internal operations and interfacing with other teams to deliver the services that support our business.

Requirements

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Security Engineer who believes that great security is built, not just configured. At Starling, security is a fundamental engineering pillar, and we’re looking for a practitioner who thinks like a developer.

While we are looking for deep cloud expertise, we are also highly interested in candidates with strong programming skills and a background in software engineering who want to apply those talents to security. This is a hands-on role for a builder who excels at writing clean, scalable code to automate away manual gates. You will work across AWS and GCP, developing the internal tools, guardrails, and services that empower our engineering teams to ship securely without sacrificing speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineer Secure Foundations: You will lead the design and implementation of critical security services, with a heavy focus on building robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems and automated, API-driven certificate management workflows.
• Security-as-Code & Scalability: Leveraging a software-first philosophy, you will develop and maintain high-quality, scalable security tooling and middleware within ECS and Kubernetes environments, ensuring security logic is integrated directly into the deployment pipeline.
• Collaborative Code Ownership: You will serve as a technical authority in cross-functional code reviews, acting as an engineering peer who helps teams bake security into their services from the first line of code to the final pull request.
• Proactive System Hardening: You will stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge-proactively identifying vulnerabilities and architecting technical solutions to fortify our global ecosystem.

Professional Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to architect secure, distributed systems with a focus on programmatic IAM and automated, API-driven PKI management.
• Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in Terraform and a deep commitment to writing clean, maintainable, and production-grade code-ideally in Golang.
• A test-first mentality toward security, with experience building unit and integration tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure that security guardrails are as reliable as the features they protect.
• A strong conceptual grasp of cryptographic primitives and hands-on experience securing containerized workloads and service meshes within ECS and Kubernetes.
• A track record of taking end-to-end ownership of complex technical projects, from initial design docs and RFCs through to deployment and observability.
• A belief that if it isn’t tested, it’s broken, and a drive to proactively identify and fix vulnerabilities by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge.

Our Team Philosophy

The Security Engineering team is a diverse and dynamic group passionate about building secure and resilient systems. We’re enthusiastic about security, but we’re not about rigid, one-size-fits-all controls. We believe in striking a balance between protecting our systems and empowering our developers to build and innovate. Our goal is to make security a seamless part of the development lifecycle, not a roadblock. If you are someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is excited about finding innovative security solutions, we would love to hear from you.

About Engineering at Engine by Starling

At Engine by Starling, we don’t do “checkbox security”-we build security software. We treat security as a first-class engineering discipline, where the solution to a threat isn’t a policy, but a robust, concurrent system written in Go.

As a Cloud Security Software Engineer, you will be a hands-on builder responsible for the security architecture of our multi-tenant core banking platform. You’ll spend your days architecting and writing Go-based tooling, automating defenses, and ensuring our infrastructure across AWS and GCP is secure by design and compliant by default.

The Mission

Your mission is to solve complex security problems through software engineering, focusing on three core pillars:

• Identity & Network Security: Engineering high-performance IAM controls and zero-trust network architectures. You will lead the way in refining edge-defense strategies and trust redirection, ensuring every request is verified and encrypted at scale.
• Unified Vulnerability Orchestration: Architecting a custom “single pane of glass” for security data. You will build Go-based API integrations and microservices that bridge scanning engines, dependency trackers, and internal portals into a seamless, automated ecosystem.
• Compliance as Code: Building the automated systems that provide real-time evidence for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001 & PCI. You’ll ensure we stay compliant through continuous, automated validation rather than manual overhead.

The Team

You will be a key member of our growing Security Engineering team, working at the intersection of Infrastructure, Cross-Cutting, and GRC. We operate like a specialized product team: we identify security friction and build the software to eliminate it. You won’t work in a silo; you’ll collaborate with engineers across the business to deliver a platform that is resilient by default.

About You

We are looking for Software Engineers who are passionate about the Go ecosystem and want to apply those skills to mission-critical security challenges. Whether you come from a Security Engineering background or you are a Backend Engineer with a “security-first” mindset, we value your ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.

What you’ll get to do

• Engineering Security Tooling: Lead the design and maintenance of our internal security tool suite, written primarily in Go, to automate evidence collection and real-time remediation of security alerts.
• Infrastructure as Code: Write and peer-review Terraform and custom providers to manage identity and core infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
• Supply Chain Security: Build automated systems to manage container provenance and integrate security analysis into our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/TeamCity).
• Cloud Native Defense: Engineer Kubernetes security solutions leveraging Cilium, eBPF, and custom controllers to protect our microservices.
• Cryptographic Engineering (PKI): Build and maintain our Go-based Certificate Authority (CA) tooling and internal PKI infrastructure.
• Incident Response: Support the team in automated incident response, building the tools that help us investigate and mitigate threats faster.

Requirements

What skills are essential:

• Go Specialist: You are proficient in Go. You understand its concurrency models, testing patterns, and how to build idiomatic, performant services.
• The Builder Mindset: You find manual work a personal affront. If a task needs to be done twice, you’ve already started planning the automation for it.
• Cloud Native: Practical experience with AWS or GCP, ideally managed through Terraform.
• Container Expertise: You understand Kubernetes internals-from the runtime security to the service mesh.
• Identity & Networking: Strong understanding of cloud identity models and network protocols.

What skills are desirable:

• Experience with Cilium or eBPF-based security monitoring.
• Knowledge of Sigstore/Cosign, image provenance, and SBOMs.
• Familiarity with hardware security modules (HSMs) or advanced cryptography.
• Cloud-native security certifications (AWS/GCP).

Benefits

• 33 days holiday (including public holidays, which you can take when it works best for you)
• An extra day’s holiday for your birthday
• Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off
