    £28000–£180000 yearly
    Part-time
    Bury

    Who we are Sentinel42 Ltd is a Manchester-based cyber security and AI governance consultancy, founded and run by a practitioner with 16+ years in the field. Alongside the consulting practice we've built and launched Sentinel42 — a multi-framework ISMS platform at isms27001.live covering ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 42001 (AI), ISO 9001, DORA, NIS2 and the NCSC CAF. It's live, it has a pricing model, and it has a sales pipeline being built around it right now. What it needs next is an engineer to take it from a rapid-build stack to production-grade infrastructure. The mission The platform was built at speed on Lovable (React front end with a Supabase back end). It works — but a compliance product sold to security-conscious buyers needs infrastructure that matches the pitch. Your job is to move it to AWS properly, then own it: – Migrate — re-platform the application from Lovable to AWS — architecture of your design, justified to us in plain English – Harden — make the infrastructure something an ISO 27001 auditor would nod at: IAM least-privilege, encryption at rest and in transit, backups, logging and monitoring, UK/EU data residency – Maintain — own releases, dependency updates, uptime and the small stream of product improvements that come from client feedback You'll work directly with the founder. No committees, no ticket bureaucracy — you propose, we agree, you build. Milestones and equity Equity is released as milestones are delivered and accepted — a structure mirroring how we reward our commercial partners. Indicative shape (final scope and percentages agreed in the contract): Milestone (delivered and accepted) Equity released 1 Technical audit of the current build plus target AWS architecture and migration plan Tranche 1 2 AWS foundations stood up: environments, IaC, CI/CD pipeline, database migration path proven Tranche 2 3 Full migration and cutover — isms27001.live served from AWS with zero client data loss Tranche 3 (largest) 4 Security hardening and evidence pack: monitoring, backups/DR, IAM review — audit-ready Tranche 4 5 Sustained maintenance: agreed release cadence and uptime over the following months Tranche 5 (time-based) No deadlines imposed on you — milestones are sequenced, not scheduled. Deliver M1 in a fortnight of evenings or over two months; the equity is the same. The contract includes a long-stop date, good/bad-leaver terms and IP assignment, and you'll be advised to take independent tax advice on the equity Who we're looking for – Full-stack confidence — React/TypeScript and Postgres — you can read a Lovable/Supabase codebase and know what to keep, wrap or rewrite – Real AWS experience — you've run production workloads and can design within the Well-Architected Framework: VPC, IAM, RDS, S3, CloudFront, ECS/Lambda, Terraform or CDK – Security instincts — you don't need to be a CISO — you're joining one — but least-privilege, encryption and audit logging should be reflexes, not chores – Self-direction — you can own a roadmap without being managed, and communicate trade-offs in plain English – Bonus — experience with compliance tooling, multi-tenant SaaS, or taking a no-code/low-code build to production Why do this – Genuine equity in a launched, revenue-model SaaS — not options in a pitch deck — a stake in a live product with paying-customer pricing and an active global sales push – Founding-engineer authority — the AWS architecture will be yours; every future hire inherits your decisions – A security education money can't buy — work alongside a CISM-qualified ISO 27001/42001 lead auditor building the product he uses with real clients – Your pace, in writing — the own-pace, milestone-based structure is in the contract, not a verbal promise How to apply Click apply 'Founding Engineer' No CV theatre needed — send three things: – A short note on how you'd approach a Lovable/Supabase to AWS migration (five sentences is plenty) – A link to something you've built or run in production — repo, case study or write-up – Roughly how much time you could give it, so we can sanity-check the milestones together We'll reply to everyone. First conversation is an informal 30-minute video call — you assess us as much as we assess you

    SME Cyber & AI Compliance Subscriptions Remote (UK) · Self-employed / contract · Uncapped commission + residual income · Route to equity The opportunity Sentinel42 is a London-based cyber security and AI governance consultancy helping organisations achieve and maintain compliance with frameworks including ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2 and Cyber Essentials. We are launching subscription packages built for the SME market — affordable, ongoing security and compliance support for businesses that need enterprise-grade assurance without enterprise overheads. We're looking for a driven sales and marketing professional to take these subscriptions to market. This isn't a salaried role with a script and a quota — it's a ground-floor commercial partnership. You build the pipeline, close the deals, and share directly in the value you create, with a genuine route to equity for the person who helps us scale. What you'll do You'll own the commercial engine end to end: identifying and engaging SME prospects, running the full sales cycle from first contact to signed subscription, and shaping the marketing that feeds it. You'll work directly with the founder — a 16-year GRC and information security practitioner — with real influence over proposition, pricing and go-to-market strategy. As traction builds, you'll help define what the sales function becomes, because you'll have built it. What's in it for you ▪ High commission on every package sold — well above industry norms, because there's no base salary diluting it. ▪ Residual income — you earn on every renewal, not just the initial sale. Build a book of subscribers once and get paid on it month after month. ▪ All expenses covered — travel, tools and legitimate business costs are on us. Your time goes into selling, not subsidising. ▪ A route to equity — deliver, and you won't just be a contractor. There's a clear, structured path to an ownership stake in Sentinel42. ▪ Total flexibility — self-employed basis; work where and how you're most effective. Who we're looking for You're a proven B2B seller — ideally into SMEs — who's comfortable owning a target without a manager over your shoulder. You can generate your own pipeline, you understand subscription and recurring-revenue models, and you know how to sell value rather than features. Marketing instincts are a big plus: you can write, position and build presence, not just close. Experience selling technology, professional services, or cyber security and compliance solutions would be an advantage — but the right commercial mindset matters more than sector history. Above all, you're entrepreneurial: you want skin in the game, not just a payslip. The practical bits This is a self-employed engagement — you'll be responsible for your own tax and National Insurance. Commission structure, residual terms and the equity pathway will be set out clearly and contractually from day one. No smoke and mirrors: if you sell, you earn; and if you build this with us, you own part of it. Interested? Send a short note about your track record — the numbers you're proud of and why this model appeals No CV essays required; we care about what you've sold and how you sold it.
