Lead Security Engineer- Global Banking Platform
We are seeking a Lead Security Engineer to help protect and strengthen a complex global banking platform. This is a senior technical role responsible for shaping security engineering strategy, improving resilience and supporting the delivery of secure, reliable financial services across a highly regulated environment.
You will lead the design, implementation and continuous improvement of security controls across cloud, infrastructure, applications and data platforms. Working closely with engineering, architecture, risk and operations teams, you will translate security requirements into practical solutions and ensure that security is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. You will also provide technical leadership on threat modelling, vulnerability management, identity and access management, security monitoring and incident response.
Key responsibilities will include defining secure engineering standards, reviewing system and solution designs, leading security assessments and supporting remediation of identified risks. You will investigate complex security issues, contribute to major incident management and help develop automation that improves the consistency and efficiency of security controls. The role will also involve mentoring engineers, influencing senior stakeholders and representing security in technical governance forums.
You will bring substantial experience in security engineering within large-scale, complex or regulated environments, ideally across financial services or another sector with demanding resilience and compliance requirements. Strong knowledge of cloud security, network security, application security, encryption, privileged access and security tooling is essential. Experience with infrastructure as code, DevSecOps practices, containerised platforms and security automation would be highly advantageous.
We are looking for an analytical and collaborative professional who can balance strong technical judgement with commercial awareness. You should be confident communicating complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, while remaining comfortable working hands-on when required. Relevant industry certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, GIAC or cloud security qualifications, would be welcomed.
This is an opportunity to influence the security of critical technology, work with talented specialists and play a leading role in the ongoing development of a secure global banking platform.
