Senior Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Engineer to strengthen the design, implementation and continuous improvement of security controls across a complex technology environment. You will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, cloud, operations and governance teams to identify risks, improve resilience and protect systems, applications and data. This role offers the opportunity to influence security strategy while remaining actively involved in technical delivery and incident response.
Your responsibilities will include designing and maintaining secure architectures across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments; developing security standards, patterns and engineering practices; and reviewing systems, applications and infrastructure for vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses. You will lead or support threat modelling, risk assessments, penetration testing, vulnerability management and remediation activities. The role will also involve improving identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, logging, monitoring and detection capabilities. You will investigate and respond to security incidents, contribute to post-incident reviews, and help develop playbooks, automation and preventative controls. Clear documentation and regular communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders will be essential.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security engineering, infrastructure security, cloud security or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of secure network design, operating systems, identity technologies, encryption, application security and common attack techniques. Practical experience with security monitoring and response tools, vulnerability scanners, infrastructure-as-code, scripting or automation, and major cloud platforms is highly desirable. You should be comfortable analysing complex problems, prioritising risk and explaining technical issues clearly. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous, as is experience working within recognised security frameworks and regulatory environments. We are looking for a proactive and collaborative professional who can mentor colleagues, challenge assumptions constructively and deliver pragmatic security improvements in a changing environment.
