Cyber Operations Enigneer - FInancial Services
We are seeking a Cyber Operations Engineer to support the protection, resilience and continuous improvement of critical technology services within a highly regulated financial services environment. This role will suit an analytical and proactive security professional who can investigate threats, strengthen defensive capabilities and work effectively with technical teams across the organisation.
You will monitor and respond to security events, conduct investigations and help manage incidents from initial detection through to resolution. Responsibilities will include analysing alerts from security monitoring platforms, reviewing logs and network traffic, supporting vulnerability management, and contributing to threat hunting and forensic investigations. You will also help maintain and improve security controls, develop detection rules, document procedures and provide clear incident reports to technical and senior stakeholders.
The role will involve close collaboration with infrastructure, cloud, application development, risk and compliance teams. You will contribute to security improvement projects, assist with control testing and help ensure that operational practices align with relevant regulatory expectations and recognised cyber security frameworks. Participation in an out-of-hours or on-call rota may be required.
Applicants should have experience in a cyber security operations, security engineering, incident response or similar role. You will need practical knowledge of SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability scanning, identity and access management, network security and common attack techniques. Experience with cloud security platforms, scripting or automation using tools such as PowerShell or Python, and investigation using structured query languages would be advantageous.
Relevant professional certifications, such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, CISSP or equivalent experience, are welcomed. Strong communication skills, sound judgement and a methodical approach are essential, together with the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment. Experience in financial services or another regulated sector would be beneficial, although applications from candidates with transferable experience are encouraged.
