Job Description

About the Security Engineering team
We are 15+ and growing team that supports Tesco technology and software development
teams across cloud and other cutting edge technologies at scale. We have a new role as the engineering manager for our security engineering team based in Bengaluru. The software development teams are responsible for their own security, so we act differently than a traditional security team. We’re team of security partners, not security police.. and we go as far as calling ourselves as Security Partners, not Security Architects or Consultants.
Our software engineering teams have tremendous freedom in their work and the
corresponding responsibility to do the right thing for our customers. Instead of controlling
our engineering teams with process and security gates, we enable them to innovate by
providing security guidance to make right decisions for Tesco. The good news is that our
engineering teams are (usually) willing partners in doing better security, more efficiently
and earlier in the process. We want you to help us scale out and represent ourselves for the wider engineering domains.
Tesco has fully embraced devops and agile methodologies to develop our enterprise APIs,
services and cloud capabilities. Our 100+ delivery teams have loads of Docker, Kubernetes
and microservices galore across Azure and AWS, so our security approach must work with
elastic, here today, gone tomorrow infrastructure. Our security approaches should be event-driven, real-time and effective. Weekly scans are so 2010.
