As a highly skilled Principal Cloud Security Engineer, you will join our dedicated and expanding Security team. Your mission for the role is clear: to safeguard Deriv, its products, and its customers by applying extensive technical expertise and leadership across a broad spectrum of security. This is not a management position, but, like all senior roles at Deriv, it comes with a level of leadership responsibility. You’ll guide and mentor the existing team in Deriv’s offices in Reading (UK), Dubai (UAE), and Cyberjaya (Malaysia). You’ll closely collaborate with the VP of Security Engineering on numerous security projects.
