Senior Cyber Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cyber Security Engineer to design, implement and continuously improve security controls across a complex technology environment. You will play a key role in protecting systems, applications, networks and data from evolving threats, while helping to embed secure-by-design principles across engineering and operational teams. The role requires a hands-on security professional who can combine technical expertise with sound risk management and clear communication.
Your responsibilities will include leading the investigation and remediation of security vulnerabilities, supporting incident response activities, and monitoring for suspicious or malicious activity. You will develop and maintain security architecture, hardening standards, detection rules and protective controls across cloud, on-premises and endpoint environments. You will also contribute to threat modelling, penetration testing, security reviews and risk assessments, ensuring that weaknesses are identified and addressed effectively. Working closely with infrastructure, software development, compliance and operational teams, you will provide practical guidance, review technical designs and promote consistent security practices. You may also support security automation, dashboarding, metrics and the continuous improvement of policies, procedures and response playbooks.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security engineering, security operations or a related technical discipline, together with a strong understanding of network security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, endpoint protection and cloud security. Experience with SIEM, EDR, intrusion detection, security testing and scripting or automation tools is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC, CCSP or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You will be expected to assess complex problems, prioritise effectively and communicate technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. A proactive mindset, strong analytical ability and commitment to continuous learning are essential, along with the ability to work collaboratively and respond calmly to security incidents.
