Cyber Operations Security Engineer
We are seeking a Cyber Operations Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, networks, applications, and data from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security controls across a complex technology environment. You will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, development, and risk teams to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defensive capabilities, and support secure technology delivery.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and analysing security events, investigating alerts and incidents, and coordinating effective response and remediation activities. You will help maintain and improve security monitoring, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, identity and access controls, and security automation. You will conduct threat and risk assessments, support penetration testing and technical assurance activities, and translate findings into practical improvements. The role will also involve developing operational procedures, maintaining accurate documentation, contributing to incident response exercises, and supporting compliance with relevant security standards, policies, and regulatory requirements. You may participate in an out-of-hours support or on-call rota where required.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in cyber security operations, security engineering, incident response, or a closely related discipline. You should be comfortable working with security information and event management platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, vulnerability scanners, firewalls, identity technologies, and cloud security services. Strong knowledge of networking, operating systems, authentication, encryption, common attack techniques, and security principles is essential. Experience with scripting or automation, such as Python, PowerShell, or similar technologies, would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications are welcome, but practical capability, analytical thinking, clear communication, and a collaborative approach are equally important. You will be expected to manage competing priorities, explain technical risks to varied audiences, and maintain a proactive approach to continuous learning in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
