Want to be the person driving security rather than simply maintaining it?

This is a great opportunity to join a growing international technology business where you’ll have genuine ownership, influence strategic security decisions, and build modern security capabilities from the ground up. Working in a lean, high-impact team, you’ll help shape the organisation’s cyber resilience across a complex cloud-first environment while leveraging AI and automation to deliver lasting change.

Key Responsibilities:

• Designing and implementing security controls across cloud, identity, endpoint and data.
• Driving Zero Trust, IAM, vulnerability management and detection engineering initiatives.
• Improving security visibility, automation and cyber resilience across the business.
• Partnering with Engineering, Product and IT teams to embed security into day-to-day operations.
• Supporting incident response and continuously enhancing the security toolset.

Key Requirements:

• 5+ years’ experience in Security Engineering or Security Architecture.
• Strong hands-on experience across cloud security (AWS/GCP), IAM (Entra ID), SIEM, Zero Trust and vulnerability management.
• Experience designing and delivering security improvements, not just operating existing controls.
• Comfortable influencing stakeholders and working autonomously in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience with AI, automation and modern security tooling is highly desirable.

Join a business investing heavily in cybersecurity, where you’ll have the freedom to influence strategy, work with cutting-edge technologies, and make a lasting impact from day one.
