Senior Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications, networks and data across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and continuously improve security controls that support confidentiality, integrity and availability. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, operations and product teams to identify risks early, embed security into the development lifecycle and provide practical guidance on secure architecture and implementation.
Your responsibilities will include leading security assessments, threat modelling, vulnerability management and incident response activities. You will investigate and resolve security events, support forensic analysis, and help develop playbooks, detection rules and recovery procedures. You will also review cloud and on-premises infrastructure, application designs, identity and access controls, endpoint protections and network configurations. The role will involve recommending and implementing improvements across security monitoring, logging, automation and compliance, as well as contributing to policies, standards and risk assessments. You may also mentor engineers and promote security awareness through clear documentation, training and constructive collaboration.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security engineering, cyber defence or a related technical discipline, with a strong understanding of networking, operating systems, identity management, encryption and secure software development practices. Experience with cloud security, SIEM platforms, vulnerability scanners, endpoint detection tools and infrastructure-as-code is highly desirable. You should be comfortable scripting or automating repetitive tasks using languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash, and able to assess threats using recognised frameworks and industry best practices. Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise effectively in a changing environment. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed.
