Own the security engineering agenda for a global cloud platform—driving real change across vulnerability management, SIEM and endpoint protection.
Is this you?
You’re a calm, hands-on security engineer who enjoys digging into root causes, improving controls, and explaining risk clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike. You’re comfortable working with minimal supervision, collaborating across engineering and architecture, and you take pride in building repeatable, audit-ready security practices.What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
You’ll lead vulnerability scanning and analysis across customer-facing environments, working with engineering teams to remediate findings and embed security testing into DevOps workflows. You’ll support and continuously improve SIEM monitoring—configuring and tuning rules to ensure meaningful alerting—while strengthening endpoint security through Microsoft Intune and centralised monitoring. You’ll also play a key role in ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 alignment, supporting audits with evidence preparation, dashboards, KPIs, and reusable security patterns. As a trusted senior, you’ll provide backup support on network security (Palo Alto), assist with incident response and forensics, and step in for the Security Manager when required.Where you’ll be doing it

Around 10+ years in information security engineering, strong SIEM/SOAR and vulnerability management experience, and hands-on cloud security exposure (Oracle, AWS and/or Microsoft 365). You’ll bring scripting ability (PowerShell, Python and/or Bash), familiarity with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 environments, and firewall management experience (Palo Alto preferred). Strong English communication skills are essential; certifications like CISSP/CISM and exposure to privacy frameworks, PAM, containers, or regulated industries are advantageous.What you’ll get
A senior, high-impact role with global responsibility, varied technical scope, and the chance to shape security capability in a scaling international environment—plus a competitive package aligned to your experience.How to apply
