Senior Security & Compliance Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security & Compliance Engineer to strengthen the security, risk, and compliance capabilities of a growing technology environment. This role will lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security controls across cloud infrastructure, applications, corporate systems, and operational processes. You will work closely with engineering, IT, legal, privacy, and business stakeholders to embed secure practices into the development lifecycle and support the organisation’s compliance objectives.
Key responsibilities include managing security and compliance frameworks; maintaining policies, standards, procedures, and control documentation; coordinating internal and external audits; and preparing evidence for regulatory, customer, and assurance requirements. You will conduct risk assessments, oversee vulnerability management, support incident response investigations, and track remediation activities through to completion. The role will also involve reviewing security architecture and third-party risks, improving identity and access management, supporting security monitoring, and developing metrics and reports for senior stakeholders. You will help maintain business continuity and disaster recovery practices, deliver security awareness initiatives, and advise teams on practical, risk-based controls.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security engineering, governance, risk, and compliance, ideally within a cloud-first or highly regulated environment. You should be comfortable working with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, CIS Controls, or equivalent, and have hands-on knowledge of cloud security, access controls, encryption, vulnerability management, logging, and incident response. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSP, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer are desirable. Strong analytical, communication, documentation, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to balance security requirements with business and delivery priorities. You will be expected to work independently, influence without authority, and promote a culture of accountability, resilience, and continuous improvement.
