From Valarian Technologies Limited's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Valarian Technologies is a dual-use technology company building critical tools to safeguard the future in an era of evolving global security challenges. We're rethinking security beyond traditional military domains, addressing asymmetric threats that impact our technological advantage, economic strength, and democratic institutions.
We build Acra – the platform foundation for everything we do as a dual-use technology company. The platform’s name, rooted in the Greek word for citadel (or, fortress), reflects the design and purpose of our infrastructure-agnostic secure enclaves: protecting critical data.
Some of the government and commercial workflows include: increased operational resiliency for mission-critical systems and functions; enabling organisations to more quickly and widely adopt emerging technologies while ensuring the integrity of their intellectual property; information flow during disaster response scenarios, and zero-trust / least-privilege environments for M&A, attorney-client privileged communications, etc. And we’ve only scratched the surface.
At our core, we're driven by a shared mission and a belief in making a tangible impact on our world. Whether you join our London HQ or the wider global organisation, you’ll be a part of collaborative, high-performing teams, creating cutting-edge software, platforms, and infrastructure.
We are seeking an ambitious, technical Head of Information Security (Deputy CISO) to take full ownership of Valarian’s internal security posture, enterprise risk framework, and product compliance. Ideal for a Senior Security Manager, Architect, or Director stepping into their first CISO-level leadership role, you will embed security into our engineering culture, maintain customer trust, and ensure full compliance across global enterprise and defense standards.
Active engagement, talk submissions, or regular attendance at major security conferences and research communities (e.g., DEF CON, Black Hat, BSides, or Chaos Communication Congress).
Prior experience navigating government procurement processes or defense-specific security frameworks (e.g., UK MOD Cyber Industry Standards, DISA STIGs, or CMMC).
Familiarity with hardware-level security primitives, confidential computing, isolated enclaves, or secure communication protocols.
Experience working in venture-backed, hyper-growth scale-ups alongside defense, intelligence, or elite security engineering teams.
Active UK Security Clearance (SC) or eligibility to undergo clearance checks.
Our culture is built on inclusivity, compassion and flexibility – we want everyone to be empowered to achieve their goals at Valarian.
The work we do is vital, but so are the connections that make it happen. We thrive on the shared energy, spontaneous conversations, and mutual trust built when we spend time together. We operate on a hybrid model, gathering in our London office 3 days a week to support one another and collaborate.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
We are committed to ensuring a fair and inclusive recruitment process and providing employment opportunities to all applicants. Decision recruitment, hiring, and employment are based solely on qualifications, skills, and experience relevant to the job requirements.
Valarian Technologies Limited is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from individuals regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, veteran, amnesty, or any other legally protected characteristic.
