Description
About RedCloud
The global supply chain is broken—creating a $2 trillion inventory gap where essential consumer goods fail to reach the people who need them. Brands miss sales, distributors mismanage stock, and retailers face empty shelves. The result? Higher prices, slower growth, and lost opportunity across the board.
RedCloud is fixing this. Our RedAI digital trading platform, bulk and retail trading exchanges connect key parts of the supply chain—enabling bulk inventory exchange, streamlined digital payments, and generating vast quantities of aggregated market data. By applying AI and machine learning techniques, we deliver predictive market insight and trading recommendations straight back to the trading environment—facilitating smarter everyday business decisions for our customers, from factory to warehouse to store.
Headquartered in London, RedCloud became a publicly listed company on Nasdaq (RCT) in March 2025. With a diverse team spanning many nationalities and operations across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. We’re building a more connected and efficient global trade network. Our AI labs are busy exploring the next generation of smart AI agents and deeper FMCG market intelligence for the benefit of our customers across a growing operational footprint.
The Role
As the Principal Security Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the security strategy for both enterprise IT systems and our software products. Reporting to the AVP of Enterprise IT and Security, you will lead a talented team of security and compliance professionals. Together, you will ensure robust security practices are embedded across our organization while supporting innovation and operational excellence.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys mentoring others, and is passionate about building scalable security solutions for both enterprise and product environments.
