Data Security Engineer
We are seeking a Data Security Engineer to help protect sensitive information across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain effective controls that safeguard data throughout its lifecycle, while supporting secure and reliable business operations. You will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, compliance and risk teams to identify security requirements and embed practical protections into systems and processes.
Your responsibilities will include developing data protection standards, encryption and key-management practices, access controls, data loss prevention measures and secure data handling procedures. You will monitor security events, investigate potential incidents, support vulnerability assessments and contribute to the timely remediation of identified risks. You will also help maintain data inventories and classification models, review logging and monitoring coverage, and provide guidance on secure architecture, retention and disposal. Where required, you will assist with incident response, forensic investigations, audit activities and the preparation of clear technical and management reports.
The successful candidate will have experience in data security, information security engineering, cloud security or a closely related discipline. You should be familiar with encryption technologies, identity and access management, security monitoring, vulnerability management and common data protection principles. Experience with major cloud platforms, DLP tools, SIEM solutions, scripting or infrastructure-as-code would be advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate technical issues clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed. You will be expected to work independently, manage competing priorities and promote a proactive, risk-based approach to protecting information.
