Senior Systems Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Systems Security Engineer to design, implement, and maintain robust security solutions across complex enterprise infrastructure. In this role, you will work closely with infrastructure, networking, cloud, and application teams to protect systems, data, and services against evolving cyber threats. You will contribute to security architecture, technical strategy, and the continuous improvement of defensive capabilities across on-premises and cloud environments.
Key responsibilities include developing and enforcing system security standards, hardening operating systems and infrastructure, and reviewing designs for security, resilience, and compliance. You will investigate security events, support incident response activities, and lead root-cause analysis to identify and address vulnerabilities. The role will also involve conducting risk assessments, managing vulnerability remediation, supporting penetration testing, and improving monitoring, logging, and alerting across critical platforms. You will provide technical guidance on identity and access management, encryption, endpoint protection, network security, patching, and secure configuration practices. Clear documentation of procedures, risks, and recommendations will be an essential part of the position.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in systems or infrastructure security, with strong knowledge of Windows and Linux environments, networking principles, authentication protocols, and common security frameworks. Practical experience with cloud platforms, security information and event management tools, vulnerability scanners, configuration management, and automation technologies is highly desirable. You should be comfortable analysing complex technical issues, communicating security risks to both technical and non-technical audiences, and influencing stakeholders to adopt effective controls. Relevant industry certifications in security, cloud, networking, or systems administration are advantageous. A proactive mindset, strong problem-solving ability, and commitment to continuous learning are essential for success in this role.
