Data Security Engineer
We are seeking a Data Security Engineer to help protect sensitive information across a complex and evolving technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain security controls that safeguard data throughout its lifecycle, including collection, storage, processing, transmission and disposal. You will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, data, compliance and risk teams to identify vulnerabilities, reduce exposure and embed security into systems and processes from the outset.
Your responsibilities will include developing and enforcing data protection standards, access controls, encryption strategies, key management practices, data loss prevention measures and security monitoring capabilities. You will investigate security events, support incident response activities and contribute to root-cause analysis and remediation planning. You will also conduct risk assessments, security reviews and threat modelling for applications, platforms and data pipelines, ensuring that appropriate controls are in place for both cloud and on-premises environments. Maintaining accurate documentation, supporting audits and keeping informed about emerging threats, regulations and industry best practices will be an important part of the role.
The successful candidate will have experience in data security, information security, cloud security or a related engineering discipline, with a strong understanding of identity and access management, encryption, networking, logging and vulnerability management. Familiarity with security tools and services across major cloud platforms, as well as experience scripting or automating security processes using languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash, would be advantageous. You should be analytical, collaborative and comfortable communicating technical risks to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant security certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome. The role requires a proactive approach, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous improvement in a fast-changing environment.
