At CloudBees, we truly believe that the more diverse we are, the better we serve our customers. A global community like Jenkins demands a global focus from CloudBees. Organizations with greater diversity - gender, racial, ethnic, and global - are stronger partners to their customers. Whether by creating more innovative products, or better understanding our worldwide customers, or establishing a stronger cross-section of cultural leadership skills, diversity strengthens all aspects of the CloudBees organization.

In the technology industry, diversity creates a competitive advantage. CloudBees customers demand technologies from us that solve their software development, and therefore their business problems, so that they can better serve their own customers. CloudBees attributes much of its success to its worldwide workforce and commitment to global diversity, which opens our proprietary software to innovative ideas from anywhere. Along the way, we have witnessed firsthand how employees, partners, and customers with diverse perspectives and experiences contribute to creative problem solving and better solutions for our customers and their business.

We're growing our Global Security team and are looking for Security Operations Engineers (Mid/Senior) who enjoy building security capabilities - not simply operating them.

This is not a traditional SOC role.

Instead of spending your day triaging alerts, you'll engineer the systems that make Security Operations smarter, faster and more scalable.

You'll work across Detection Engineering, Security Automation, Threat Hunting and Incident Response, building detection logic, automating repetitive workflows and partnering closely with Product Engineering to improve security telemetry across the CloudBees platform.

Whether you're already operating at Senior level or you're a strong Security Operations Engineer ready for the next step, we're interested in engineers who think in automation, code and continuous improvement.

Job Title: Security Operations Engineer
Employment Type: Full-time
Work Location: UK / Hybrid
Department: CISO

CloudBees helps organizations build, run, and govern software factories, giving enterprises the confidence to ship software better, faster, and safer.

Writing code is no longer the bottleneck. Governing what reaches production and validating its impact is. As enterprises adopt agentic coding, software is created faster than most teams can review, secure, and validate. Without consistent governance, organizations risk shipping code they cannot explain, audit, or trust.

CloudBees addresses this challenge without asking teams to replace the tools they already use. Across every toolchain a customer runs, CloudBees makes each change, human or AI, visible, auditable, and accountable before it reaches production. CloudBees Unify is the product behind this: a governance layer, with context and control-plane capabilities, that enforces consistent policy and evidence across every tool, team, and workflow.

Founded in 2010, CloudBees is backed by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bridgepoint Capital, HSBC, Golub Capital, Delta-v Capital, Matrix Partners, and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
