Junior Cyber Security Engineer
We are seeking a motivated Junior Cyber Security Engineer to join a collaborative technology team and help protect systems, applications, networks and data from emerging threats. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their cyber security career to build practical experience in a supportive environment while contributing to meaningful security initiatives. You will work alongside experienced security, infrastructure and development professionals, gaining exposure to a broad range of tools, technologies and operational processes.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts and events, assisting with the investigation and triage of suspected incidents, and escalating potential threats in accordance with established procedures. You will support vulnerability scanning, risk assessment and remediation tracking across infrastructure and applications, helping to ensure that identified weaknesses are addressed promptly. The role will also involve maintaining security documentation, contributing to access reviews, supporting endpoint and network security controls, and assisting with the implementation of security policies, standards and technical safeguards. You may participate in security awareness activities, audit preparation, penetration testing coordination and continuous improvement projects.
Applicants should have a foundational understanding of cyber security principles, including common threats, vulnerabilities, authentication, encryption, network security and incident response. Some practical experience through employment, study, internships, personal projects or recognised certifications is desirable. Familiarity with security monitoring platforms, vulnerability management tools, cloud environments, operating systems, scripting or networking concepts would be beneficial. You should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and a willingness to learn. Clear communication is essential, as you will need to document findings, explain technical issues and work effectively with colleagues across different teams. A proactive, ethical and methodical approach, together with the ability to manage priorities and follow procedures, will be highly valued.
