Amazing Security Insights

Creative, Adaptable, Technical

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person.

You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity’s biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That’s why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:
We’re hiring creators and challengers who deliver high-impact, well-engineered solutions. Every role we’re hiring puts people at the heart of our security strategy and uses technology and operational processes to build a resilient and performant business. The Path to Zero is paved with secure technology!

As a Senior Security Engineer (Data), you will work closely with fellow security engineers to design, build, and deploy data solutions that drive organisation‑wide security value. To do this, you will build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines and data models within data warehouses. An example pipeline being ingesting data from multiple security and technology observability tools to gather, analyse, synthesise, and develop visualisations and reporting in service of continuous improvement of security controls.

Your solutions will enable cyber defence, attack surface and security controls engineers to proactively identify hidden problems and patterns in data and use these insights to amplify weaknesses and drive improvements to coding hygiene and system architecture. This is a great opportunity for someone who is motivated to use data to drive security improvements, and best practices across a business with wide-ranging impact, and loves working in collaborative, and supportive environments.

• Help architect, design, and deploy new features, and functionality in a unified OVO security data platform to enable security engineers to optimise and automate cyber defence, attack surface and security controls assurance processes.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest security data and AI trends, tools, and technologies to ensure the team’s technical approach is innovative.
• Foster an inclusive team environment where everyone feels valued and excited to contribute.
• Communicate optimally with collaborators to explain concepts and drive informed decision making.

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of our existing security data sources, data pipelines, warehouse, and security operations principles.
• Contribute to the development and enhancing of our security data and AI model architectures.
• Guide and educate other teams about effective security data and AI practices and opportunities.
