Scott Brady

Director of Engineering at Cera, web security consultant, and Pluralsight author.

At Cera, I am the Director of Engineering, running the Engineering organisation and delivering products that enable digital-first home healthcare, moving services out of hospitals and into people’s homes.

As an individual contributor, I specialised in all things authentication, identity, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. While I am currently taking a break from the world of identity & web security to focus on leadership roles, I still find myself helping with the world of web security and PSD2 initiatives in my day job. I also keep my hand in by offering consultancy services.

ClearBank

Director of Engineering, ClearBank

Responsible for ClearBank’s self-implemented UK and EU payment rails, Open Banking integrations, and API security. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, I led modern engineering teams within a heavily regulated, risk-averse environment, which required me to balance the needs of engineering with those of the business, risk, and regulators while still moving fast enough to innovate.
