Senior Data Security Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Data Security Engineer to help protect critical data assets, strengthen security controls, and support the development of a resilient data protection programme. In this role, you will work closely with security, infrastructure, engineering, compliance, and business teams to identify risks and implement practical, scalable solutions across cloud and on-premises environments.
Your responsibilities will include designing and maintaining data security controls covering encryption, key management, data loss prevention, access management, database security, secrets management, data classification, and monitoring. You will assess data flows and storage environments, identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and lead remediation activities in line with recognised security frameworks and internal policies. You will also contribute to threat modelling, security architecture reviews, incident response, forensic investigations, and the continuous improvement of security operations.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in data security engineering, information security, or a related technical discipline, with a strong understanding of cloud security principles and modern data platforms. Practical experience with technologies such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, alongside databases, SIEM platforms, DLP solutions, IAM tools, vulnerability management, and infrastructure-as-code, is highly desirable. You should be comfortable scripting in languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash and able to automate security checks and operational processes. Knowledge of regulatory requirements and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, GDPR, or PCI DSS would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex security issues clearly and influence effective outcomes.
