Engineering Manager - Security *EU/UK remote*(m/f/d)

Responsibilities

• Own the security foundations the rest of engineering builds on: secure-by-default Terraform and Docker modules, hardened images for ECS and EKS workloads, and guardrails built into the developer platform rather than added afterwards.
• Drive cloud security posture day to day: remediating findings from Wiz, keeping IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty tuned as Pliant scales, and ensuring the alerts that fire are ones people should actually act on.
• Automate compliance evidence collection for PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and DORA so audits stop being a scramble.
• Run vulnerability management and incident response end to end: triage, SLAs, remediation, and post-mortems.
• Build the application security practice through threat modeling, architecture reviews, and secure coding guidance that product teams actually use.
• Use and build AI-native security tooling for VulnOps, red-teaming, and incident response as the threat landscape evolves.
• Grow the team: two engineers are in place today, and who you hire next sets the technical bar for security at Pliant for a long time.
