Role Overview
The Senior Cyber Controls Engineer will design, build, and manage the integrations that power Flutter UK&I's Cyber Controls Monitoring platform (Anecdotes), owning the full integration lifecycle from architecture through delivery. Working closely in the CCM team, the role sits at the intersection of technical engineering and control testing & monitoring, ensuring cybersecurity controls are continuously tested, evidenced, and aligned to regulatory frameworks. The engineer will be a founding technical contributor to a programme central to Flutter UK&I's cybersecurity strategy, directly shaping the region’s ability to detect control failures, support remediation, and demonstrate control health to key stakeholders.
Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities
Platform Engineering & Integration
- Design, build, and maintain all integrations between the Anecdotes platform and key systems, selecting the appropriate method — out-of-box, or custom — based on data requirements and system complexity.
- Ensure seamless connectivity between Anecdotes and critical data sources, always maintaining reliable and secure data flows.
- Integrate the platform with tools such as Jira or Slack to enable automated alerting, exception ticketing, and gaps notifications.
- Manage platform updates and new feature releases, assessing impact on existing integrations and incorporating changes in a controlled and documented manner.
Automated Control Monitoring
- Develop and implement automated data extraction and testing logic that enables continuous monitoring of cybersecurity controls across Flutter UK&I’s technology estate.
- Build automated detection of downward trends that indicate core control failures, reducing reliance on manual and point-in-time testing.
- Continuously identify opportunities to expand automation coverage across cybersecurity and the wider technology infrastructure.
Data Pipeline & Quality
- Build and maintain scalable data pipelines that extract, normalise, and deliver high-quality control evidence from multiple source systems into Anecdotes.
- Define data extraction logic per control test in collaboration with the CCM team, ensuring outputs meet the desired quality.
- Proactively monitor pipeline health, resolving integrity issues or connectivity failures before they impact monitoring outputs or reporting.
- Apply data handling best practices across all pipelines, respecting sensitivity classifications and access controls throughout.
Security & Architecture Standards
- Ensure all integrations are built in accordance with security best practices including least privilege, secure authentication, and encrypted data transmission.
- Collaborate with IT and Information Security teams on firewall rules, network access, and service account provisioning to support platform connectivity.
- Conduct regular technical reviews of the integration architecture, identifying risks and scalability constraints and proposing solutions proactively.
Stakeholder Collaboration & Enablement
- Support during intake triage by providing technical feasibility assessments and effort estimates for incoming requests
- Work with second-line assurance, risk, and GRC teams to understand their data requirements, ensuring integrations are configured to meet their evidence and reporting needs.
- Provide input to the Head of Controls Performance & Governance on platform evolution, scaling decisions, and emerging tooling capabilities.
Reporting & Documentation
- Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for all integration architectures, connector configurations, data schemas, and platform settings.
- Support the design and build of the integration between Anecdotes and internal BI tooling, enabling automated data flows from control test outputs into BI dashboards that provide visibility of control maturity to internal stakeholders.
- Ensure the platform produces accurate, timely control evidence aligned to relevant frameworks and regulations (e.g., SOX, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS) to support compliance reporting.
- Maintain a technical risk register for the CCM platform, documenting integration risks and data quality issues with proposed mitigations.
Essential
Skills, Capabilities & Experience Required:
- Proven experience integrating tooling via APIs, out-of-box connectors, and custom-built integrations.
