Lead Security Engineer

Reference: yt4pj216qs97uzi3ihz6

We are seeking a Lead Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, implementation and continuous improvement of enterprise security capabilities. In this role, you will help define security architecture, protect critical systems and data, and ensure that security controls support business objectives without compromising usability or resilience. You will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, cloud, operations and risk teams to identify threats, reduce exposure and promote secure-by-design practices.

Your responsibilities will include leading the development and maintenance of security standards, patterns and engineering guidelines; assessing systems and applications for vulnerabilities; and recommending practical remediation plans. You will oversee security tooling across areas such as cloud security, endpoint protection, identity and access management, network defence, vulnerability management and security monitoring. You will also contribute to incident response, threat modelling, penetration testing, technical investigations and post-incident improvements. The role will involve mentoring security engineers, reviewing technical designs, supporting audits and translating complex risks into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security engineering, architecture or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern infrastructure and application security. Experience with public cloud platforms, automation, identity technologies, secure software development and security operations is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working with scripting or infrastructure-as-code tools and have a practical understanding of common security frameworks, vulnerabilities and attack techniques. Strong communication, analytical and decision-making skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise competing risks and influence teams through collaboration. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience will be welcomed.
