IT Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced IT Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, networks, applications, and data against evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain effective security controls across cloud and on-premises environments, while supporting the development of a strong security culture. You will work closely with infrastructure, development, operations, and compliance teams to identify risks, improve resilience, and ensure security is embedded throughout technology projects and business processes.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security events, investigating alerts, and coordinating the response to incidents from initial detection through to resolution and post-incident review. You will conduct vulnerability assessments, support penetration testing activities, manage remediation plans, and recommend practical improvements based on current threat intelligence. The role will also involve maintaining security policies, standards, procedures, and technical documentation, as well as contributing to identity and access management, endpoint protection, network security, encryption, backup, and disaster recovery initiatives.
To be successful, you will have proven experience in IT security engineering, infrastructure security, or a closely related discipline. You should be confident working with security monitoring and incident response tools, vulnerability management platforms, firewalls, intrusion detection or prevention systems, endpoint security solutions, and cloud security services. Knowledge of recognised security frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS Controls, is desirable. Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, CISSP, or a comparable qualification would be advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, clear communication, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. You will also be expected to keep your technical knowledge current and promote continuous improvement across the security environment.
