About Redgate

We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases that their organizations depend on - a space that's only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates.

Why join our security team?

• Broad, meaningful scope - Working across our cloud & physical infrastructure, alongside our development teams and ISO27001-aligned information security group, you'll be working to bring on new vendors, assess risk, and fix vulnerabilities.
• Genuinely modern challenges - From AI governance and shadow IT to supply chain risk and secure‑by‑design engineering, tackle relevant problems across a fast‑moving global software business.
• A team that grows you - Work in a hands‑on team tackling a diverse set of challenges, developing your career and investing in your future.

About the role

As a Cyber Security Engineer at Redgate, you’ll:

• Design, build, and operate security controls across infrastructure and applications.

What makes you a great fit

• Hands‑on security engineering or security operations experience.
• Strong IAM knowledge at protocol level (OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC) – you’ve debugged implementations, not just read about it.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (ideally Terraform) and use of automation.
• Familiarity with secure SDLC practices, version control, and peer review.
• Experience conducting vendor security reviews and third‑party risk assessments.
• Practical vulnerability management experience – you're used to judging the real-world risks, not just looking at baseline CVSS scores.
• Incident response experience, including investigation, remediation, and root cause analysis. Working knowledge of Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, and KQL.
• A background in sys admin or engineering that gives you intuition for how systems actually fail.
• A mindset that security exists to enable the business.
• Comfortable using AI tools as part of your daily work.
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non‑technical audiences.

What we offer

• Salary range: £60,000 - £70,000.
