We are seeking a Principal Engineer – Cybersecurity Science & Analytics to provide technical leadership across the development of advanced security capabilities. This is a senior individual contributor role for an experienced cybersecurity professional who can combine engineering expertise, analytical thinking and practical knowledge of modern threat landscapes. You will help shape the direction of security analytics, automation and applied research while delivering solutions that improve the detection, investigation and prevention of cyber threats.

You will lead the design, development and continual improvement of scalable cybersecurity platforms, analytical models, detection content and engineering processes. Responsibilities will include translating complex security challenges into practical technical solutions, developing methods to identify anomalous activity, evaluating emerging technologies and improving the quality and effectiveness of security data. You will work with engineering, threat intelligence, incident response, data science and architecture teams to ensure that solutions are robust, measurable and aligned with operational needs.

The role will involve investigating sophisticated attack techniques, assessing vulnerabilities and identifying opportunities to apply statistical analysis, machine learning, automation and other scientific approaches to cybersecurity. You will establish engineering standards, contribute to technical roadmaps, review designs and code, and mentor colleagues by sharing knowledge and best practice. You may also represent the security function in senior technical discussions and contribute to assessments of risk, resilience and regulatory requirements.

Applicants should have substantial experience in cybersecurity engineering, security analytics, threat detection or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of networks, cloud environments, operating systems, identity and security controls. You will be comfortable programming in one or more relevant languages, working with large and varied datasets, and using analytical or data-processing tools. Experience of machine learning, detection engineering, security research, DevSecOps or incident investigation would be advantageous.

Strong communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex subjects clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. We value curiosity, sound judgement, collaboration and a commitment to continuous improvement. This opportunity offers the chance to make a significant contribution to cybersecurity strategy and build innovative capabilities in a technically challenging environment.
