Lead Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Lead Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security capabilities. In this role, you will help define security architecture, strengthen preventative and detective controls, and guide engineering teams in delivering secure, resilient services. You will work closely with technology, product, infrastructure, and risk stakeholders to identify threats, assess vulnerabilities, and ensure security is embedded throughout the development and operational lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include leading security engineering initiatives, developing and maintaining security standards, and reviewing architectural and technical designs. You will oversee vulnerability management, security monitoring, identity and access controls, cloud security, endpoint protection, and incident response readiness. You will investigate complex security events, coordinate remediation activities, and provide clear recommendations to technical and senior audiences. The role will also involve mentoring security engineers, setting engineering priorities, evaluating new tools and technologies, and supporting the development of repeatable processes that improve the organisation’s overall security posture.
To succeed, you should have significant experience in security engineering, security architecture, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern infrastructure, cloud platforms, networks, operating systems, and application security. You will be comfortable working with security tooling, automation, logging and monitoring platforms, vulnerability scanners, and identity technologies. Experience leading technical projects and influencing teams without direct authority is essential, as is the ability to communicate complex risks clearly and pragmatically. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous. We are looking for a collaborative, analytical, and proactive security professional who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical delivery and remain effective in a fast-changing environment.
