Lead Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced 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 strategy, establish robust engineering standards, and deliver practical solutions that protect applications, infrastructure, data, and users. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, operations, risk, and compliance teams to embed security throughout the development and technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include leading the design and operation of security controls across cloud and on-premises environments; identifying vulnerabilities and coordinating remediation activities; improving detection, monitoring, and incident response capabilities; and contributing to security architecture reviews, threat modelling, and risk assessments. You will guide secure software development practices, support identity and access management initiatives, and help evaluate new technologies and third-party services. The role will also involve mentoring security engineers, reviewing technical proposals, documenting standards and procedures, and communicating complex security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
You should have substantial experience in security engineering, infrastructure security, application security, or a related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern cloud platforms, networking, operating systems, encryption, authentication, and vulnerability management. Experience with security tooling, automation, SIEM platforms, DevSecOps practices, and incident response is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications are welcome, but practical expertise and sound judgement are equally important. You will be a collaborative, hands-on technical leader who can balance risk with business needs, influence decisions without relying on authority, and deliver secure, scalable solutions in a changing environment.
