Senior Cyber Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cyber Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications and data across a complex technology environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a security professional who can combine strong technical expertise with a practical, collaborative approach to risk management and continuous improvement.
You will design, implement and maintain security controls across networks, cloud platforms, endpoints and applications. Your responsibilities will include monitoring and responding to security incidents, leading investigations, identifying vulnerabilities and supporting remediation activities. You will also contribute to threat modelling, security architecture reviews, penetration testing and the development of effective detection and prevention measures.
Working closely with infrastructure, software development, operations and governance teams, you will provide clear security guidance throughout the technology lifecycle. You will help establish secure design principles, improve security monitoring and automation, and ensure that controls align with relevant policies, standards and regulatory requirements. The role will also involve producing risk assessments, technical documentation and management reports, as well as supporting audits and assurance activities.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a cyber security engineering or closely related role, with a strong understanding of network security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, incident response and security operations. Practical experience with cloud security, SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, firewalls and security automation is highly desirable. Knowledge of recognised frameworks such as NIST or ISO 27001 would be advantageous.
You will be confident analysing complex technical issues, prioritising risk and explaining security matters to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong communication, problem-solving and stakeholder management skills are essential, alongside the ability to work independently and contribute effectively within a wider team. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent experience, would be welcomed.
