Senior Security & Compliance Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security & Compliance Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security and compliance practices across a complex technology environment. This role will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, product, legal, and operational teams to protect systems and data while enabling secure business growth. You will assess risks, define security controls, support compliance initiatives, and help embed security into the full software and systems development lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include managing vulnerability assessment and remediation programmes, reviewing system and application architectures, and strengthening identity, access, endpoint, cloud, and network security controls. You will support audits and certification activities, maintain security policies and technical documentation, and provide evidence for regulatory and customer assurance requirements. The role will also contribute to incident response, security investigations, threat modelling, penetration testing coordination, and the development of metrics and reports for senior stakeholders. You will be expected to identify opportunities for automation and process improvement, while advising teams on practical, risk-based security solutions.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security engineering, governance, risk, and compliance within a technology-led environment. Strong knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, CIS Controls, or equivalent is required, along with experience working with cloud platforms, security monitoring tools, vulnerability management solutions, and common identity and access technologies. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or cloud security credentials, are advantageous. You should be confident communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences, capable of influencing without direct authority, and comfortable balancing robust controls with operational practicality. A proactive approach, strong analytical skills, sound judgement, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
