Descripción del empleo

We're supporting a well established organisation in hiring a Senior Security Engineer to join a small but influential security team. This is an opportunity for a hands on security professional who enjoys combining security operations, engineering and technical advisory responsibilities.

You'll play a key role in strengthening the organisation's security posture, contributing to technical change discussions and helping guide security decisions across the wider technology estate.

The Role

Working within a lean, collaborative team, you'll support security operations while providing input into projects, infrastructure changes and risk assessments. We're looking for someone who can contribute beyond day to day tool management and provide valuable security insight across the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and improve security operations and engineering activities
• Act as a senior technical security specialist across a diverse environment
• Provide security input into CAB discussions
• Review proposed changes and identify security risks
• Enhance security controls, processes and tooling
• Work across Windows and Linux environments
• Collaborate with infrastructure, architecture and technology teams
• Balance hands on technical work with security advisory responsibilities
• Experience in a Senior Security Engineer or similar cyber security role

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for security, an inquisitive nature and the confidence to ask questions and challenge where appropriate.

You'll be keen to learn, happy to cross train into new technologies and comfortable working in a small team where priorities can shift. Technical capability, practical experience and broad security exposure are valued more highly than academic qualifications.

The ideal candidate will bring a blend of security operations, engineering and advisory experience, helping the team move forward rather than simply operating the tools.
