Principal Engineer - Cybersecurity Science & Analytics
We are seeking a Principal Engineer – Cybersecurity Science & Analytics to lead the design, development and evolution of advanced security analytics capabilities. This role will apply expertise in cybersecurity, data science, software engineering and threat intelligence to identify emerging risks, improve detection effectiveness and support resilient, intelligence-led security operations. You will work across technical and business teams to translate complex security challenges into scalable solutions that deliver measurable risk reduction.
Responsibilities will include defining technical strategy and architecture for cybersecurity analytics platforms; developing statistical, machine learning and rules-based models to detect anomalous activity and sophisticated threats; analysing large, diverse datasets from endpoints, networks, cloud environments and enterprise applications; and establishing processes to validate, tune and monitor analytical performance. You will provide technical leadership on investigations, threat-hunting initiatives and proof-of-concept programmes, while mentoring engineers, analysts and data scientists. The role will also involve communicating findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders, contributing to security standards and governance, and promoting automation, reproducibility and responsible use of data.
Applicants should have significant experience in cybersecurity engineering, security analytics, data science or a closely related discipline, together with a strong record of delivering complex technical solutions. Expertise in Python or another modern programming language, data analysis techniques, statistical modelling, machine learning and cloud or distributed data platforms is expected. You should understand security operations, attack frameworks, incident response, vulnerability management and the practical challenges of working with noisy or incomplete telemetry. Experience with SIEM, EDR, detection engineering, threat intelligence platforms or security orchestration tools will be valuable. Excellent problem-solving, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to influence technical direction while remaining hands-on. Relevant professional certifications or advanced academic qualifications are desirable.
