Senior Security Engineer, Operational Research and Development

Reference: agjix0swu588bvzm15yt

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer, Operational Research and Development to help shape the next generation of security capabilities. In this role, you will investigate emerging threats, assess new technologies and develop practical solutions that strengthen the resilience of complex systems. You will work across research, engineering and operational teams to translate security challenges into actionable improvements, while balancing innovation, usability, performance and risk.

Your responsibilities will include designing and leading security research projects; developing prototypes, proof-of-concept tools and technical demonstrations; analysing vulnerabilities, attack techniques and defensive controls; and evaluating the security implications of new platforms, architectures and technologies. You will contribute to threat modelling, security testing, incident learning and the creation of technical guidance. The role will also involve documenting findings, presenting recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders, supporting the adoption of effective controls, and helping to establish repeatable methods for assessing security risks across research and operational environments.

Applicants should have substantial experience in security engineering, applied research, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment or a closely related discipline. You will need strong knowledge of operating systems, networks, cloud or distributed environments, secure software development and common attack and defence techniques. Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, Go, JavaScript or C/C++ is desirable, as is familiarity with automation, laboratory environments, reverse engineering, detection engineering or security tooling. We are looking for a curious, analytical and collaborative professional who can work independently, communicate complex issues clearly and turn uncertain or emerging problems into well-reasoned, practical outcomes. Relevant professional certifications or an advanced degree in cybersecurity, computer science, engineering or a related field would be advantageous.
