Lead Security Engineer

Duetto is the hospitality industry's leading revenue management platform, and they are seeking a Lead Security Engineer to own the security posture of their platform. This role involves leading security across cloud infrastructure, compliance, and customer trust, ensuring that security measures are integrated into all aspects of the engineering and operational processes.

Responsibilities:

• You'll own Duetto's overall security posture across cloud, product, infrastructure, IT, compliance, and customer assurance — leading cloud security across AWS (IAM, logging, network security, encryption, Kubernetes and container security, backup posture, and configuration risk) and partnering with Engineering and DevOps to embed security into the SDLC, CI/CD pipelines, and production operations
• You'll lead vulnerability management end-to-end — owning Snyk Pro and Lacework (or equivalents) for code, dependency, and cloud security operations, including alert triage, posture management, prioritisation, remediation tracking, and reporting across infrastructure, application, cloud, containers, and endpoints
• You'll serve as the primary security incident leader for major incidents, investigations, escalations, root cause analysis, and executive reporting — and lead IR tabletop exercises, DR tabletop exercises, backup testing coordination, and BCP security reviews
• You'll own SOC 2 Type 2 readiness, ISO 27001 readiness, ISO 42001 AI governance alignment, and NIST CSF maturity tracking — maintaining the security risk register, risk treatment plans, security roadmap, and security debt backlog
• You'll partner with Legal and Privacy on DPA, DTIA, DPF, GDPR, SCCs, and subprocessor management, and own customer-facing security assurance including strategic RFPs, security questionnaires, enterprise security reviews, Trust page content, and sales support calls
• You'll provide security guidance to IT on MDM, endpoint security, AV/EDR coverage, access reviews, and SaaS security controls — and report security posture, risks, incidents, remediation status, and audit readiness to executive leadership

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in security, cloud security, DevSecOps, security engineering, infrastructure security, or security operations
• Strong hands-on knowledge of AWS — you can review cloud architecture and identify risk, not just read about it
• Experience securing DevOps environments, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and container environments, cloud IAM, logging, secrets management, and infrastructure-as-code
• Experience with SOC 2 Type 2 audits and a working familiarity with ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and GDPR security requirements
• Experience with vulnerability management, penetration testing programmes, and incident response
• The ability to translate technical risks into business-level priorities and communicate clearly with Engineering, Legal, Sales, auditors, customers, and executives
• Hands-on experience with Snyk, Lacework, Vanta, MDM platforms, endpoint protection, and cloud posture tools
• Prior ownership of SOC 2 Type 2 audit readiness end-to-end
• ISO 27001 implementation or certification support experience
• Experience supporting enterprise SaaS security reviews and customer trust programmes
• Familiarity with ISO 42001 or AI governance frameworks
