GCAP Systems Security Engineer

Reference: ft5j6u0g48d6cdevayry

We are seeking a Systems Security Engineer to support the design, implementation, and maintenance of secure, resilient technology environments. The successful candidate will work across infrastructure, applications, networks, and cloud services to identify security risks and develop practical solutions that protect systems, data, and users. This role will contribute to security architecture, system hardening, vulnerability management, incident response, and the continuous improvement of security controls throughout the technology lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include assessing security requirements for new and existing systems; conducting threat, risk, and vulnerability assessments; developing and maintaining secure configuration standards; and supporting security testing, monitoring, and remediation activities. You will collaborate with engineering, operations, and project teams to embed security into system design and delivery. The role will also involve investigating security events, supporting incident response and recovery, maintaining technical documentation, and contributing to security policies, procedures, and compliance evidence. You may also provide technical advice on identity and access management, network security, encryption, endpoint protection, logging, and cloud security.

Applicants should have demonstrable experience in systems security engineering, infrastructure security, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of security principles, risk management, and secure system design. Experience with operating systems, networking, cloud platforms, security monitoring tools, vulnerability scanners, and configuration management technologies is highly desirable. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks and standards, as well as relevant professional certifications, would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities, explain technical risks to varied audiences, and work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. An eligibility check and background screening may be required.
