Our Technology and Cyber Team Are Looking For An Experienced Senior Cyber Security Engineer To Join The Team.

Baringa has grown so fast, and it continues to grow rapidly. Those new joiners keep on coming! We are a global function supporting the firm as it enters new markets. We are re-architecting and evolving our cloud-based business systems and infrastructure. We are on a mission to develop great technology products, deliver great services, and protect the trust our people and clients place in us. We have installed a new operating system for ourselves, and rebooted what was a corporate IT department into a corporate technology company, transforming the way we work.

Now we are building for the next era of work. AI is becoming part of the fabric of how Baringa operates, and we are developing the products and platforms that will help colleagues find knowledge, act on insight, navigate complexity, and get work done with greater speed, quality, and confidence. Some of this will be visible through intelligent experiences and agentic systems. Some of it will sit beneath the surface: data products, workflow platforms, integrations, automations, cyber security, governance, and the architecture that makes all of it safe, scalable, resilient, and useful.

So much to build on, so much to progress. So much to deliver. So much to play for!

Do you know what though? We are going to do it. All of it and more. We have the support to drive change. We have the belief. We are going to do great things. Come and join us!
