Python Full-Stack Tech Lead
Job description
This role focuses on analysing cyber threats and vulnerabilities identified through proactive detection and research pipelines. It involves reviewing surfaced risks, validating exposed services such as remote access systems, databases, and edge technologies, and assessing whether appropriate security controls or compensating measures are in place using recognised exposure assessment tools.
A central responsibility is verifying ownership and attribution of internet-facing assets. This includes examining DNS records, WHOIS information, reverse lookups, TLS indicators, and other open-source intelligence to confidently associate assets and resolve uncertainty. Accurate attribution ensures customers receive notifications only for assets that are clearly confirmed.
The role produces clear, customer-facing security advisories that explain identified issues, affected assets, potential impact, and recommended remediation actions. It also includes direct engagement with customers or brokers to clarify findings, explain risk context, and support remediation prioritisation when required.
Internally, the position acts as a technical escalation point for teams such as Customer Support, Underwriting, and Claims. Responsibilities include investigating queries related to exposures, suspected vulnerabilities, false positives, or disputed ownership, and providing clear, evidence-based conclusions. The role contributes insight to improve internal workflows, detection accuracy, and knowledge sharing.
Strong operational standards are expected, with professional, timely, and approachable communication. Candidates should have a solid understanding of networking fundamentals, vulnerability concepts, attacker behaviour, and attack surface management, along with experience in a SOC, MSSP, or similar security operations environment.
