We are seeking a Lead Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, implementation and continuous improvement of enterprise security capabilities. In this role, you will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, cloud, operations and risk teams to identify security risks, define effective controls and deliver practical solutions that protect systems, applications and data. You will help shape security architecture, establish engineering standards and promote secure-by-design principles throughout the technology lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include leading the development and maintenance of security tooling, monitoring and automation; improving vulnerability management, identity and access controls, endpoint protection, network security and cloud security practices; and supporting incident detection, investigation and response. You will assess new technologies, contribute to threat modelling and security reviews, and provide clear recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will also guide the resolution of security findings, support audit and compliance activities, maintain accurate documentation and help define metrics that demonstrate the effectiveness of security controls.

The successful candidate will have significant experience in security engineering, with a strong understanding of modern infrastructure, cloud platforms, operating systems, networks, application security and common attack techniques. Experience with security information and event management, detection engineering, vulnerability scanning, infrastructure as code, scripting or automation is highly desirable. You should be comfortable leading technical initiatives, influencing without direct authority and communicating complex risks clearly. A proactive, analytical approach, strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to continuous learning are essential. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience will be valued.
