Blue Light Card. Individually great, together unstoppable

The Role and the Team

At Blue Light Card, we’re on a mission to support our millions of members with meaningful digital experiences. We’ve recently undertaken a replatforming transformation, setting the foundations to tackle exciting greenfield projects and further enhance the experience for our members. With plenty of opportunities ahead, we’re looking for a Security Operations Engineer who is eager to make an impact. You’ll report to the Head of InfoSec and take ownership of Security Operations, helping to shape and strengthen our overall security landscape.

You’ll play a key role in shaping our growing security function and contributing to the maturity of our security programme, building resilient systems, influencing engineering practices, and driving meaningful change in a supportive environment.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor, triage, and respond to security alerts and incidents—investigating and coordinating effective containment, resolution, and recovery
• Proactively identify and assess vulnerabilities, recommending and applying improvements to strengthen our defences
• Design, implement, and maintain security controls across cloud, network, and application environments
• Continuously improve how we work by developing and refining playbooks, automating processes, and reducing manual effort
• Collaborate closely with Engineering and IT teams to embed security at every stage of the development lifecycle
• Help maintain compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, and CIS benchmarks
• Contribute to evolving internal policies and promote awareness of good security practices across teams

What You’ll Bring

• Practical experience in a Security Operations Engineer role, ideally having progressed from an IT or Security Analyst background into a more structured and mature security environment
• A good understanding of digital security best practices across cloud, network, and application environments
• First-hand experience triaging and responding to security incidents, with evidence of growing into more senior responsibilities
• A track record of delivering improvements—such as designing new processes, leading on incidents, or implementing automation to reduce risk and effort
• Practical experience working collaboratively with Engineering and IT teams to investigate, resolve, and prevent security issues
• Familiarity with application security principles, with exposure to penetration testing or ethical hacking (CEH or similar certification is a plus)
• Awareness of industry frameworks like ISO 27001, CIS, or similar, and ideally holding a CISMP certification
• A proactive interest in cyber security trends, with a willingness to engage in continuous learning and community knowledge sharing
