Senior Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications, data and infrastructure across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and continuously improve security controls that reduce risk while enabling reliable business operations. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, architecture, compliance and operational teams to embed security throughout the development and technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include leading the investigation and resolution of security incidents, identifying vulnerabilities, assessing threats and recommending practical remediation plans. You will develop and maintain security tooling, monitoring capabilities, detection rules and automated responses across cloud, network, endpoint and application environments. You will contribute to security architecture reviews, threat modelling, penetration testing, risk assessments and the creation of technical standards and procedures. The role will also involve supporting identity and access management, security configuration, patching, encryption, logging and incident response exercises. You will provide technical guidance to engineers and stakeholders, communicate security risks clearly and help promote secure design and development practices.
We are looking for substantial experience in security engineering, cyber defence or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern infrastructure and application security. You should have hands-on knowledge of cloud security, network and endpoint protection, vulnerability management, authentication and authorisation, security monitoring and incident response. Experience with scripting or automation, infrastructure-as-code, security information and event management platforms, and common security frameworks will be highly valued. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable. The successful candidate will be analytical, collaborative and comfortable working independently on complex problems. You will be able to balance technical depth with sound judgement, prioritise effectively and explain security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
