Senior Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to strengthen the organisation’s information security capabilities and help protect critical systems, applications, and data. In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain effective security controls across cloud, infrastructure, networks, and endpoints. You will work closely with engineering, operations, architecture, and compliance teams to identify risks, improve resilience, and embed secure practices throughout the technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include leading security assessments, threat modelling, vulnerability management, and technical risk reviews; monitoring and investigating security events; and supporting the response, containment, and remediation of incidents. You will develop and maintain security standards, procedures, and engineering patterns, while contributing to identity and access management, network security, encryption, logging, and security automation. The role will also involve reviewing proposed designs and changes, providing practical guidance to delivery teams, and helping ensure systems meet applicable regulatory and internal requirements. You may also mentor less experienced engineers and contribute to security awareness and continuous improvement initiatives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security engineering, infrastructure security, or a related technical discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise networks, operating systems, cloud platforms, and modern application architectures. Hands-on experience with security monitoring and SIEM tools, vulnerability scanners, identity platforms, incident response processes, and scripting or automation is highly desirable. You should be comfortable analysing complex problems, prioritising risk, and communicating technical issues clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, GIAC, or cloud security qualifications are advantageous. A collaborative mindset, sound judgement, curiosity, and a commitment to continual learning are essential.
