Security Engineer - 6 month FTC
We are seeking a Security Engineer to join a technology-focused team on a six-month fixed-term contract. This role will support the design, implementation and continuous improvement of security controls across cloud, infrastructure, applications and end-user environments. You will work closely with engineering, IT and risk teams to identify vulnerabilities, respond to security events and help ensure that systems and services meet internal security standards and regulatory expectations.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security alerts, supporting incident response activities, conducting vulnerability assessments and coordinating remediation with technical teams. You will contribute to security reviews for new projects and changes, maintain documentation and risk registers, and assist with the development of secure configuration standards, policies and procedures. The role will also involve improving security tooling, supporting identity and access management processes, reviewing logs and controls, and helping to deliver security awareness and best-practice guidance across the business.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security engineering, cyber security or infrastructure security role, with a sound understanding of threat detection, vulnerability management, incident handling and defensive security principles. Experience with cloud platforms, endpoint protection, SIEM technologies, firewalls, network security or identity services would be beneficial. Familiarity with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is desirable, as is experience working within a regulated or complex technical environment. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent hands-on experience are welcome. You must be able to work independently, manage competing priorities and contribute effectively during a time-limited assignment.
