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
