Senior Cyber Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cyber Security Engineer to strengthen our security capability and help protect critical systems, applications and data. This is an opportunity to work across a broad range of cyber security activities, providing technical leadership, practical engineering expertise and informed guidance to support a resilient and secure technology environment.
You will design, implement and maintain security controls across cloud, on-premises and hybrid infrastructure. Responsibilities will include monitoring and responding to security incidents, investigating alerts, improving detection and response capabilities, and supporting vulnerability management and remediation programmes. You will also contribute to security architecture reviews, threat modelling, penetration testing coordination and the secure design of new services.
The role will involve collaborating closely with infrastructure, software development, operations and risk teams to embed secure practices throughout the technology lifecycle. You will help develop security standards, procedures and technical documentation, while providing advice on identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, encryption and secure configuration. You may also be required to support security audits, regulatory assessments and the continuous improvement of policies and controls.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a cyber security engineering or related technical role, with a strong understanding of security principles, threat management and incident response. Practical experience with security monitoring and orchestration tools, vulnerability scanning, cloud security platforms and enterprise infrastructure is essential. Knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls, would be advantageous.
Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC, CCSP or equivalent are desirable. You will be a confident communicator who can explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. A proactive approach and commitment to continuous learning will enable you to make a significant contribution to the organisation’s security maturity.
