Security Data Engineer
We are seeking a Security Data Engineer to design, build and maintain reliable data solutions that support cybersecurity operations, threat detection and risk management. You will work across security, infrastructure, software engineering and data teams to develop scalable pipelines that collect, transform and enrich data from a wide range of sources, including cloud platforms, applications, endpoints, identity systems and network technologies. Your work will help improve visibility, strengthen monitoring capabilities and enable timely, evidence-based security decisions.
Responsibilities include developing secure and resilient ingestion pipelines; modelling and managing security data in data warehouses, data lakes and search platforms; and creating processes for data quality, validation, retention and access control. You will integrate security telemetry with analytics and alerting tools, support detection engineering and incident response, and contribute to dashboards, reporting and automated investigations. You will also help establish standards for data classification, lineage, documentation and governance, while identifying opportunities to improve performance, reliability and operational efficiency. The role may involve investigating data issues, troubleshooting pipeline failures and participating in on-call or incident support activities.
We are looking for experience in data engineering, security engineering or a related technical discipline, with strong skills in SQL and Python or another scripting language. You should be familiar with cloud services, APIs, distributed data processing and technologies such as streaming platforms, orchestration tools, data warehouses or security information and event management systems. Knowledge of common security concepts, logs and telemetry, identity and access management, networking, encryption and threat detection is highly desirable. Experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD, containerised environments and automated testing would be beneficial. Strong communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to explain complex technical subjects to varied audiences are essential.
