IT Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced IT Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications, networks and data against evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain effective security controls across cloud and on-premises environments, while supporting the development of a resilient and security-conscious technology landscape. You will work closely with infrastructure, development, operations and risk teams to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defences and ensure that security requirements are embedded throughout the technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security events, investigating incidents and coordinating appropriate containment, remediation and recovery activities. You will conduct vulnerability assessments, support penetration testing and track remediation plans through to completion. The role will also involve managing endpoint protection, identity and access controls, network security technologies, security information and event management tools, encryption and configuration standards. You will contribute to security architecture reviews, threat modelling, risk assessments, audit preparation and the creation of clear technical documentation, policies and operational procedures. Staying informed about emerging threats, attack techniques and relevant regulatory requirements will be an important part of the position.
We are looking for someone with proven experience in IT security engineering, systems administration, network security or a related technical discipline. You should have practical knowledge of security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, firewalls, intrusion detection, identity platforms, cloud security and common operating systems. Familiarity with scripting or automation, security frameworks and tools such as SIEM, EDR and vulnerability scanners is desirable. Industry certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CISSP, CISM, GIAC or relevant cloud security certifications would be advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and the ability to communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences are essential.
