Infrastructure & Security Engineer

London / Hybrid (3 days per week). Oritain builds technology that proves trust and transparency in global supply chains. We apply data engineering and AI to problems with real human and environmental impact, helping protect people from exploitation and enabling brands to stand behind what they sell.
