We are seeking a Lead Security Engineer (Data) to define and deliver security capabilities that protect sensitive information across its full lifecycle. This role will lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of data security controls across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, governance, privacy, and risk teams to ensure that data is appropriately classified, protected, monitored, and managed in line with business and regulatory requirements.

Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining data security standards, patterns, and reference architectures; advising on encryption, tokenisation, key management, data loss prevention, identity and access management, and secrets management; and embedding security controls into data platforms, applications, APIs, and analytics environments. You will assess threats and vulnerabilities, support security reviews and risk assessments, define remediation plans, and help investigate and respond to data-related security incidents. The role will also involve setting technical direction, reviewing designs, evaluating security tooling, and driving automation to improve control effectiveness and operational efficiency.

You will bring substantial experience in data security engineering, security architecture, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of modern data platforms, cloud technologies, and secure software development practices. Experience with major cloud security services, databases, data warehouses, security monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code is highly desirable. You should be confident translating complex security risks into practical solutions and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A proactive approach, strong analytical skills, and the ability to influence through collaboration are essential. Relevant professional certifications in cloud, information security, privacy, or risk management would be advantageous.
