How you'll be contributing to Accurx as a Senior Security Engineer...

As a Senior Security Engineer, you will work closely with our CISO, Security Lead and the wider infosec team to own and drive improvements in security across Accurx products and applications. As we grow into more care settings; by driving and encouraging high security standards, we empower our users to access better healthcare with confidence and safety. Your contributions will allow healthcare teams to confidently leverage technology, knowing their systems are secure, so they can focus on delivering the best care possible.

Your day-to-day tasks, should you choose to accept this mission… 🤝

As a Senior Security Engineer, you will be executing and leading others on the implementation, execution, and maintenance of Accurx’s core information security processes that provide assurance of our security posture across three security domains:

• Applications/product - The software products Accurx creates for our customers and users such as Accurx Web/Desktop, Florey, Patient Portal, Switch, etc.

• Cloud/platform - The cloud based platforms such as Azure and AWS that Accurx maintains to host our products and cloud based operational processes.

• Enterprise/corporate - The operational infrastructure that Accurx operates on to facilitate our day to day activities such as our local corporate network, our identity/SSO solution, device management, workstations and beyond.

You’ll also maintain ownership of one or more core processes across the domains. The core processes that the security engineering team focus on are:

• Vulnerability Management
• Incident Detection, Readiness, and Response
• Security Hardening and Configuration
• Identity Management
• The Security Engineering Liaison Programme
• People Awareness

What the team say ... 📢

“Making sure patient and clinician data is secure while our team works to make significant improvements to the NHS is incredibly fulfilling. Building out vulnerability management tooling has been an exciting project to work on as it meant I got to work directly with Devops and Product Engineers”.

- Paul Bandha, Security Engineer
