<h1><strong>At a Glance</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Location: </strong>Remote, England </p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>In-office expectation: </strong>Flexible hybrid, once in the office every two weeks</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Employment type: </strong>Permanent</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Salary: </strong>£60,000 to £75,000, subject to experience</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>Why This Role Exists</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">Redgate's product teams move fast, across a growing set of AI and cloud-native technologies, and security can't just be a gate at the end of that process. This role exists to embed security expertise directly into how our engineering teams build and ship software: setting the standards, running the threat modelling, and making the judgement calls that keep pace with delivery instead of slowing it down.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>About Redgate</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">Redgate brings together people who want to do their best work in an environment built on trust, accountability, and collaboration.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases their organisations depend on, a space that's only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>AI at Redgate</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">By 2028, Redgate will operate as an expert-plus-agent company: domain experts amplified by AI, delivering customer value at a pace our peers can't match.

You'll define and operationalise security requirements throughout the SDLC, from initial design through to release, with real authority to make independent security calls rather than deferring to what a scanner tells you. It's a role built on trust: teams will come to you for guidance, and the judgement you bring to triage, threat modelling, and governance decisions will shape how security actually gets done here.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">● Partner directly with engineering and product teams to define and operationalise security requirements across the full SDLC</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">● Own or co-own application security governance: secure-by-default standards, patterns, guardrails, and risk exceptions</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">● Lead t
