Lead Security Engineer

Reference: k1oj7qnmqwxvw5gt361a

We are seeking a Lead Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of security capabilities. You will help protect critical systems, applications, infrastructure, and data by developing effective security controls and promoting secure engineering practices throughout the organisation. Working closely with engineering, operations, architecture, risk, and compliance teams, you will translate security requirements into practical, scalable solutions.

Your responsibilities will include leading threat modelling, security architecture reviews, vulnerability management, penetration testing coordination, and the investigation and resolution of complex security issues. You will define and maintain security standards, policies, patterns, and guidelines, while supporting secure software development across the delivery lifecycle. The role will also involve monitoring emerging threats, assessing their potential impact, improving detection and response capabilities, and contributing to incident management and post-incident reviews. You will mentor engineers, influence technical decisions, and communicate security risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Applicants should have substantial experience in security engineering, application security, cloud security, infrastructure protection, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of security principles, threat modelling, identity and access management, encryption, network security, and vulnerability remediation. Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms, security tooling, automation, and secure development frameworks is highly desirable. You should be comfortable reviewing code and designs, analysing complex problems, and balancing security with usability, performance, and delivery objectives. Strong communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary teams. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience will be valued.
