About the role: 

As a Platform Security Engineer, you are a developing security professional building expertise in securing cloud-native infrastructure, container platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and product services within the Platform Engineering organization. You take ownership of moderately complex security tasks with increasing autonomy while receiving guidance on architectural decisions and strategic direction. Your focus is the security posture of our platform and product infrastructure — the container orchestration layer, service mesh, observability stack, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure that engineering teams build and deploy on.  

You implement and maintain security controls, build standardized security processes for engineering teams (vulnerability management, production security checks, secure build pipelines), support penetration testing and SOC operations for the product environment, contribute to compliance-related activities from the product security perspective, and help embed security practices into the developer experience through tooling and documentation.  

You are building depth and maturity in infrastructure security, application security, and shift-left practices needed to progress toward a senior platform security role. 

Your contribution will be: 

• You implement and maintain security controls across the platform, including container orchestration security policies, network segmentation, role-based access controls, and admission control mechanisms. 
• You manage container image scanning and enforce image policies in CI/CD pipelines and cluster admission, ensuring only vetted and signed images reach production environments. 
• You support infrastructure-as-code security scanning using policy-as-code tooling, flagging and remediating misconfigurations in infrastructure definitions before they reach production. 
• You maintain and improve secrets management workflows, ensuring rotation policies are enforced, access is audited, and no secrets are hardcoded or exposed in source code or configuration. 
• You support cloud security posture management across cloud environments, monitoring for drift, misconfiguration, and compliance deviations against established baselines. 
• You support service mesh security configuration including mutual TLS enforcement, authorization policies, and traffic policies that enforce zero-trust communication between platform services. 
• You contribute to tenant isolation and access control configuration for shared platform services, ensuring appropriate segmentation between teams and environments. 
• You conduct vulnerability assessments of platform and product infrastructure components, coordinating remediation with SRE, Platform Engineering, and product service teams. 
• You maintain a vulnerability tracking system and produce regular reporting on security posture, remediation velocity, and risk trends for engineering leadership. 
• You implement and maintain security gates in CI/CD pipelines including dependency scanning, static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and container image scanning. 
• You participate in security incident response for platform and product-related events, supporting investigation, containment, evidence preservation, and documentation under guidance from the Senior Platform Security Engineer. 
• You support compliance-related activities from the product security perspective, providing evidence, documentation, and technical validation for audits and assessments (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks) without owning the compliance program itself. 
• Vulnerability report generation, security posture dashboards, and remediation workflow tooling. 
• You contribute to security reviews for infrastructure and product changes, providing feedback on pull requests and architecture proposals from a security perspective. 
• You explain security concepts and requirements to engineering teams, empowering them to build securely and understand the rationale behind security controls. 

To be successful, we think you need: 

Minimum Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 2+ years of professional experience in security engineering, infrastructure security, DevSecOps, application security, or related field. 
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure or AWS). 
• Working knowledge of container orchestration security concepts in Kubernetes: pod security, role-based access control, network policies, admission controllers. 
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools and understanding of how to secure IaC workflows. 
• Understanding of CI/CD pipeline security: dependency scanning, SAST/SCA integration, artifact integrity.
• Understanding of security frameworks and compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, OWASP). 
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, Go, or PowerShell) for security automation and tooling. 
• Proficiency with programing languages ( C#, Javascript/Typescript).
• Experience with or exposure to penetration testing concepts, vulnerability management workflows, and security incident response. 
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain security findings and build standardized processes that engineering teams adopt. GitHub and/or Azure DevOps pipelines

Role: Senior Designer (Social)

Location: South Africa (Remote working until further notice)

As one of the most respected global brands on social, we’re building a team across 15 markets to own the social presence end to end: insight and ideation, platform-native creative, publishing, live ops, and community. From the first idea to the final reply, you’ll shape how the brand shows up every day and create work that influences culture. 

You’ll move at newsroom speed with rigorous craft—launching ideas that travel, partnering with standout creators, and turning comments into conversations that become cultural moments. The brief is straightforward: make the brand the most culturally relevant brand on social. You’ll have the scale, purpose, and creative freedom to make it real. 

If you’re motivated by ideas that matter, sharpened by data, and committed to making the internet more positive, this is the place to do it. Bring your craft and your courage. Together we’ll build culture—not just content—and do the best work of our careers. 

Your creative vision will bring the brand to life across social platforms and beyond. You'll work in partnership with the creative, social, strategy, and client’s brand teams to craft compelling visual work that connects with audiences in the moments that matter. You'll lead and guide designers and content creators, champion social-first thinking, and ensure every piece of visual content meets the highest standards of craft while feeling native to the platforms where the brand’s audiences spend their time.

THE ROLE 

You'll be the visual storyteller behind design work that makes the brand unmistakable in crowded feeds. Working at the intersection of brand strategy and creative execution, you'll translate consumer insights, campaign briefs, and the brand’s purpose into visuals that feel authentic, inclusive, and distinctive across every format and platform. 

We're looking for someone who combines strong conceptual thinking with hands-on design craft, someone who can develop a big idea and then execute it beautifully across social, digital, and, where needed, OOH and POS touchpoints. You'll guide and mentor a team of designers and content creators, pushing the standard of social-first design while integrating Gen AI tools thoughtfully into the creative process. 

Success means design work that captures attention, strengthens brand equity, and delivers measurable results. Work that people recognise as unmistakably before they even see the logo.

• Build, mentor, and guide designers and content creators within the studio, fostering a culture of social-first excellence, collaborative feedback, and continuous improvement 
• Collaborate with strategists, copywriters, social media managers, and the  client’s brand team to develop integrated campaign assets that are visually cohesive and strategically aligned 
• Transform brand guidelines into distinctive, ownable executions that resonate with diverse audiences and feel relevant to the platforms and cultural context they appear in 
• Pioneer the thoughtful integration of Gen AI tools into the design and content creation process, using them to enhance ideation, exploration, and production without compromising craft or authenticity 
• Spearhead platform-specific design initiatives that leverage the unique strengths and visual language of each social channel 
• Stay ahead of social platform algorithms, features, design trends, and audience behaviours to ensure visual output remains current and distinctive 
• Manage multiple projects with varying timelines, formats, and platform requirements, maintaining quality and consistency under pressure 

WHAT YOU BRING 

• A portfolio demonstrating 6+ years of design experience, with strong examples of social-first design thinking and execution for consumer brands 
• Deep understanding of social platform behaviours, content formats, and visual performance factors across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and emerging channels 
• Strong conceptual ability, with a track record of developing big ideas that translate into compelling visual work across multiple touchpoints 
• Visual storytelling skills, with the ability to communicate brand purpose, emotion, and product messaging through design that feels authentic and culturally relevant 
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects) and Figma, with strong proficiency in producing assets at social speed 
• Experience art directing photography, video, or content shoots, with an eye for composition, styling, and inclusive visual representation 
• Proven ability to lead and mentor designers and content creators, providing clear direction, constructive feedback, and creative inspiration 
• Experience creating native content and design systems for key social platforms, with an understanding of specs, safe zones, and format best practices 
• A talent for presenting concepts to clients and stakeholders with clear rationale and conviction 
• The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing quality, speed, and competing priorities 
• An understanding of inclusive design and visual representation, with experience or a strong interest in creating work that reflects diverse audiences authentically 

Gen AI and Agentic Thinking: 

• Proficiency with Gen AI design tools (such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, DALL-E, Runway) and their strategic application in social content creation and visual development 
• Agentic mindset: ability to break down complex creative challenges, identify the most effective visual approach, and execute systematically across multiple workstreams 
• Experience integrating AI tools into design workflows to enhance ideation, mood boarding, visual exploration, and production efficiency without compromising craft or brand integrity 
• Understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, with strong human oversight, quality control, and a critical eye for outputs that meet premium brand standards 
• Ability to prompt engineer effectively and evaluate AI-generated visuals for brand fit, authenticity, and design quality 
• Experience guiding team members in responsible and effective use of AI tools within the creative process 

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in an in-house agency, embedded studio, or social-specialist creative team 
• Motion design or animation skills (After Effects, Runway, or similar)
