Lead Information Security Expert

In this role you will be:

• Developing and enhancing security controls in Deutsche Bank's Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure infrastructure - these controls are the security components of the Bank's "control plane" for each cloud service provider
• Developing features that help implement Deutsche Bank's security reference architectures for Google Cloud and Azure.
• Consulting with information security specialists in the Chief Security Office, and other infrastructure and application development teams across the Bank internationally, to understand their requirements for in-cloud security solutions
• Delivering features iteratively, using sprints and a backlog of tasks
• Using infrastructure-as-code techniques and CI/CD automation, via tools such as Terraform
• Using policy-as-code tools and techniques to specify security rules that are enforced both at build time (during the CI/CD pipeline, and with cloud-native tooling) and at run time (to detect deviations from policy, using third party and cloud-native tooling)
• Delivering in-cloud features that can be integrated with on-premises security capabilities, in areas such as access management, security logging and monitoring, and network security - so that the Chief Security Office can effectively secure and monitor its cloud infrastructure and applications, as well as its on-premise technology
• Acting as an internal expert in the native security features of the Cloud Service Providers, to advise other teams on options for improving and maintaining security
• Collaborating with other team members, and members of the wider engineering community in the Bank, on improvements to cloud engineering tooling and ways of working
• If required, acting as the security engineer embedded for a period in another application development team, working directly on developing cloud security controls for that application.
