Senior Cyber Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cyber Security Engineer to strengthen the organisation’s security capabilities and help protect critical systems, applications, data and services. This is a hands-on role for an experienced security professional who can combine technical expertise with sound risk judgement, contribute to strategic improvements and support the delivery of secure, resilient technology. You will work closely with infrastructure, software development, cloud, operations and governance teams to identify threats, reduce exposure and embed security throughout the technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include designing, implementing and maintaining security controls across networks, endpoints, cloud platforms, applications and identity services. You will monitor and investigate security events, support incident response, lead vulnerability assessment and remediation activities, and contribute to threat modelling, penetration testing and security architecture reviews. You will also develop security standards, procedures and technical guidance; provide expert input into projects and change programmes; assist with audits and compliance requirements; and produce clear reports, risk assessments and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role may include mentoring engineers and coordinating activities during significant incidents or security improvement programmes.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security engineering, information security or a closely related discipline, together with strong knowledge of security principles, attack techniques, defensive technologies and secure system design. Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, firewalls, identity and access management, cloud security and incident response is expected. Familiarity with security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is desirable, as are relevant professional certifications. You should be analytical, curious and confident working across multiple teams, with the ability to prioritise effectively, communicate complex issues clearly and make well-reasoned decisions under pressure. A commitment to continuous learning and improving security maturity is essential.
