Senior Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Security Engineer to help protect a complex technology environment and strengthen security across infrastructure, applications and operational processes. This is an opportunity to take ownership of challenging security initiatives, provide expert technical guidance and contribute to a proactive, risk-based security culture.
You will design, implement and maintain effective security controls across cloud and on-premises environments. Your responsibilities will include monitoring and responding to security events, investigating vulnerabilities, supporting incident response and improving detection and prevention capabilities. You will work closely with infrastructure, software engineering, operations and governance teams to ensure security is embedded throughout the technology lifecycle.
The role will involve leading vulnerability management activities, reviewing security configurations, conducting threat modelling and supporting penetration testing and remediation programmes. You will also contribute to security architecture reviews, identity and access management, endpoint protection, network security and the development of technical standards, policies and procedures.
You will be expected to assess emerging threats, communicate risks clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders and recommend practical improvements. The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently, mentoring colleagues and influencing decisions in a fast-moving environment. Experience of automating security processes and analysing data to identify trends or weaknesses would be highly valued.
We are looking for proven experience in a senior security engineering or equivalent role, with a strong understanding of security principles, infrastructure and modern cloud technologies. You should have hands-on experience with security monitoring tools, vulnerability assessment, incident handling and secure system design. Familiarity with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls is desirable, as are relevant industry certifications.
In return, you will have the opportunity to shape security practices, work on varied technical challenges and make a meaningful contribution to the resilience of a growing organisation. We welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate sound judgement, strong communication skills and a commitment to continuous learning.
