09:00am - Heading to the office

Firing over to Cannon Street – London isn’t bad for a commute when it’s sunny!

 

09:30am - Starting the day

The core part of my morning routine – eating my apple while I update myself on the latest cyber threats and news ahead of starting my morning meetings.

 

 

12:00pm - Lunchtime

The day’s lunch destination is always a hot debate, which eats into the late morning. Assenheims is a firm favourite.

 

13:00pm - The hunt begins

In the afternoon, I perform proactive threat-hunting investigations based on the cybersecurity news I’ve read, to ensure Deliveroo’s systems and data remain uncompromised.

15:30 - Pool Break

Right on cue, I take a break with a couple of games at the office pool table.

16:00 - Cross-country collaboration

I support colleagues in our Hyderabad, India office with their own threat-hunting investigations.

17:30 - Wrapping up

I wrap up the day by debriefing with the team on any findings from my investigations.

We’re hiring and there’s real opportunity to make an impact here. From safeguarding millions of transactions to orchestrating complex technical programs that scale across markets, you’re not just solving problems—you’re building the secure, reliable infrastructure that keeps possibility flowing.

Ready to tackle the challenges that matter? We’d love to hear from you.
