Job description

Senior Security Engineer

Our client, a well-established financial institution in Singapore, is looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join their cyber security function. This is a hands‑on, engineering‑led role for someone who solves problems and builds automation, not a monitoring or incident‑response role.

The role

You'll design, build and continuously improve security controls across cloud and on‑premises infrastructure. The team is looking for an engineer's mindset: someone who identifies inefficiencies in BAU security operations and automates them, rather than someone whose focus sits on watching for and reacting to external threats.

What you'll do

• Design and implement security controls across network, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and application layers
• Identify manual, repetitive BAU security processes and build automation to improve team efficiency
• Partner with engineering and infrastructure teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines
• Work hands‑on across a broad range of security tooling, not limited to a single domain, spanning areas such as SIEM, EDR, IAM, cloud security posture management and network security
• Contribute to security architecture reviews for new systems and projects
• Mentor junior engineers and help shape the team's technical standards

What we're looking for

• Five or more years in a security engineering role, ideally within financial services or another regulated industry
• Demonstrated breadth across multiple security domains and tools, not narrow specialisation in a single area (e.g. IDS/NDR alone)
• A track record of building or improving automation for security operations, evidenced by real examples, not just tool familiarity
• Strong hands‑on experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• Solid understanding of network security, identity and access management, and secure architecture principles
• Scripting ability (Python, Bash or similar) for automation
• Clear communicator, comfortable working with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
