IT Security Engineer

Reference: vdp95q1u7c9pny19ksdz

We are seeking an experienced IT Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, networks, applications 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 a strong culture of security and resilience. You will work closely with infrastructure, development, operations and compliance teams to identify risks, improve defensive capabilities and ensure security is integrated into technology and business processes.

Key responsibilities include monitoring security alerts and events, investigating incidents, supporting threat detection and response activities, and contributing to vulnerability management and remediation programmes. You will configure and manage security technologies such as firewalls, endpoint protection, identity and access management, security information and event management platforms, encryption tools and vulnerability scanners. You will also conduct security assessments, review system and application designs, develop technical standards, maintain clear documentation and support audits, risk assessments and compliance requirements. The role may include participation in an out-of-hours incident response rota.

Applicants should have proven experience in an IT security, infrastructure security or similar engineering role, with a strong understanding of networking, operating systems, authentication, access controls, cloud security principles and secure configuration practices. Experience with incident response, vulnerability assessment, security monitoring and scripting or automation is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications are welcome, but practical capability and sound technical judgement are equally valued. You will be analytical, collaborative and able to explain complex security issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and a commitment to continuous learning are essential for success.
