Description
Engineer and defend the digital backbone of one of the world's largest global banks, raising the bar for Cyber engineering with real hands-on impact.
HSBC Technology builds and runs digital services that help millions of customers bank quickly, simply and securely.
This role is central to making a step-change in engineering capability and accelerating Cybersecurity's vision of Engineering Excellence: a world-class engineering capability that helps HSBC navigate cyber risk with innovative, responsive, frictionless technologies and services.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive improvements in engineering practice across Cyber: how we design, build, run and continuously improve services
- Help mature 'the way we do things': standards, patterns, governance and pragmatic guardrails that speed delivery safely
- Improve build and deployment automation, reducing friction and increasing reliability
- Support simplification of the technology stack, reducing complexity and operational risk
Hands-on Technical Leadership
- Stay hands-on in development while leading technical direction
- Contribute to strategy and direction for cyber engineering capability and service evolution
- Drive both technical and cultural change: empowerment, experimentation, learning, partnership and delivery
Architecture & Secure Solution Design
- Lead architecture and design across solution design and end-to-end system design targeted at specific cyber outcomes
- Shape global services across cloud, on-prem and hybrid deployments in a highly regulated environment
- Build and influence enterprise-scale full stack engineering and custom security software approaches
DevSecOps & Automation
- Advance DevSecOps maturity: automated build, end-to-end testing and deployment pipelines across multiple stacks and toolchains
- Improve how services are operated in production: resilience, repeatability and safe change at pace
Cybersecurity Engineering Depth
- Apply deep experience across one or more cybersecurity domains, such as: network, endpoint and cloud security, cryptography, malware analysis, vulnerability assessment, PAM, anomaly/intrusion detection, incident response, offensive security
- Bring a practical R&D mindset-knowing when to prototype, when to standardise and when to simplify
Requirements
- Extensive experience in a cybersecurity discipline as a Principal Technical Architect / Principal Engineer
- Strong software engineering capability with excellent coding skills and enterprise delivery experience
- Proven experience developing large enterprise software solutions across cloud / on-prem / hybrid in regulated industries (financial services preferred)
- Strong architecture and end-to-end system design capability aligned to cyber outcomes
- Demonstrable ability to communicate technical solutions to senior engineers and strategic vision and concepts to senior management
- DevSecOps expertise: automated build, testing and deployment pipelines across multiple tech stacks/tools
- Professional-level cloud certification in Architecture or DevOps (e.g. AWS Solutions Architect Professional, GCP Professional DevOps Engineer) or equivalent cloud security specialism
- Security certification such as SANS GIAC, OSCP, or equivalent
- A strong STEM oriented background
Why this role matters
You'll help build a Cyber engineering culture where engineers thrive solving hard security problems with pace and safety and delivering services that protect the bank and customers every day.
