Senior Data and Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Data and Security Engineer to design, develop and protect the data platforms that support critical business services. This is an opportunity to take ownership of data engineering and security initiatives, working across technical teams to build resilient, scalable and compliant solutions.
You will be responsible for designing and maintaining secure data pipelines, platforms and integrations across cloud and on-premises environments. You will establish robust data management practices, including data quality, lineage, retention and access controls, while ensuring that systems are monitored, documented and optimised for performance. You will also contribute to the development of security architecture, threat modelling, vulnerability management and incident response processes.
The role will involve collaborating with software engineers, infrastructure specialists, analysts and senior stakeholders to identify risks and deliver practical improvements. You will champion secure-by-design principles, support governance and audit requirements, and help establish standards for encryption, identity and access management, secrets management and regulatory compliance. You will be expected to investigate complex technical issues, communicate clearly and mentor less experienced colleagues.
Applicants should have substantial experience in data engineering, information security or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of cloud technologies and modern data architectures. Experience with tools and services such as SQL, Python, data orchestration platforms, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and cloud security controls would be beneficial. You should be comfortable working with security frameworks, risk assessments, logging and monitoring, and have a practical understanding of data protection principles.
We are looking for someone who combines sound technical judgement with a collaborative and methodical approach. You will be able to manage competing priorities, explain complex subjects to varied audiences and promote continuous improvement. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent experience are welcome, alongside a genuine interest in emerging data and cyber security practices.
