Senior Security Engineer - Operations
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer – Operations to strengthen the day-to-day protection, monitoring, and resilience of critical technology environments. In this role, you will help operate and continuously improve security controls across infrastructure, cloud services, networks, endpoints, and applications. You will investigate security events, assess potential threats, coordinate incident response activities, and ensure that identified risks are tracked through to resolution. The position requires a practical, service-focused engineer who can balance urgent operational demands with longer-term improvements to security maturity.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and analysing alerts from security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management, identity, and network security platforms. You will lead or support investigations, perform root-cause analysis, document findings, and recommend effective remediation. You will also develop and maintain operational procedures, detection rules, dashboards, playbooks, and technical standards. Working closely with infrastructure, engineering, compliance, and service teams, you will assist with security assessments, vulnerability remediation, access reviews, patching initiatives, audit evidence, and the secure implementation of new technologies. You may also contribute to automation that improves response times, reduces manual effort, and enhances the quality of security monitoring.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security operations, incident response, threat detection, or infrastructure security, together with strong knowledge of common attack techniques, defensive controls, and security best practices. Experience with cloud platforms, SIEM and EDR technologies, vulnerability scanners, identity and access management, networking, scripting, and security automation is highly desirable. You should be comfortable interpreting logs and technical data, prioritising competing risks, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome. Success in this role will require sound judgement, curiosity, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to improving the organisation’s overall security posture.
