Senior Cyber Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cyber Security Engineer to strengthen and advance security capabilities across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain effective security controls that protect systems, applications, networks and data from evolving threats. You will work closely with infrastructure, software development, cloud, risk and compliance teams to embed security throughout the technology lifecycle and provide practical guidance on secure architecture and engineering decisions.
Key responsibilities will include leading the investigation and resolution of security incidents, conducting threat and vulnerability assessments, and recommending appropriate remediation activities. You will develop and maintain security monitoring, detection and response capabilities, review security alerts and support the continuous improvement of incident response processes. The role will also involve assessing cloud and on-premises environments, contributing to security standards and policies, supporting penetration testing and risk assessments, and ensuring that identified weaknesses are tracked through to completion. You may also mentor less experienced engineers and contribute to security awareness and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cyber security engineering, infrastructure security, incident response or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge of network security, identity and access management, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, encryption and security monitoring is essential. Experience with cloud platforms, SIEM technologies, scripting or automation, and common security frameworks such as NIST or ISO 27001 would be highly advantageous. You should be comfortable analysing complex technical issues, communicating risk clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, GIAC, or cloud security qualifications, are desirable. A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail and a commitment to continuous learning are key to success in this position.
