Security Engineer

The Security Engineer is responsible for implementing, supporting and improving enterprise security technologies and services across the organisation. 

Working as part of the Security Engineering team, the role will support the delivery of security transformation initiatives by deploying security solutions, building automation, integrating security controls into technology platforms and assisting engineering teams in adopting secure practices. 

The successful candidate will be hands-on, technically curious and passionate about using engineering and automation to solve security challenges. 

As RWS continues its security transformation journey, the organisation is moving from fragmented security tools and manual processes to a centralised, automated and scalable security operating model. 

The Security Engineering Team plays a key role in delivering this transformation by implementing security technologies, automating controls, integrating platforms and helping teams adopt standardised security services. Their work ensures security controls are consistently applied across infrastructure, cloud platforms, end-user environments and software development pipelines. 

By building and operating security capabilities at scale, the Security Engineering Team helps improve visibility, reduce risk, increase efficiency and enable teams to deliver securely without unnecessary friction.  

RWS is a global leader in content, translation, and intellectual property services. With more than 60 years of experience, RWS helps the world’s top brands grow by ensuring they are understood anywhere, in any language. The company combines proprietary technology with deep human expertise to deliver high-quality, compliant, and scalable solutions across industries such as life sciences, technology, finance, and legal.

Training or fine-tuning artificial intelligence (AI) requires data. LOTS of data. However, not just any data will do – our clients need responsible AI data that’s targeted, accurate and reliable to ensure machine learning (ML) success. But preparing AI training data is a monumental task that can take up the vast majority of AI project time, leaving AI teams with precious little time to focus on developing, deploying and evaluating ML models. TrainAI by RWS helps our clients address this challenge head-on.

With a seamless blend of technological understanding and human intelligence, TrainAI provides complete, end-to-end data collection and content generation, data annotation or labelling, human-in-the-loop data validation and generative AI data services for all types of AI, in any language, at any scale, based on the principles of responsible AI. Today, TrainAI supports four of the world’s top five technology companies, enhancing the performance of their generative AI by providing services such as prompt engineering, response refinement and red teaming with locale-specific domain experts across a broad range of topic areas and educational levels.
