IT Security Engineer
We are seeking an experienced IT Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, networks and data across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain effective security controls while supporting the continuous improvement of information security practices. You will work closely with infrastructure, applications, cloud and service teams to identify risks, strengthen defences and ensure security is embedded throughout the technology lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security events, investigating alerts and incidents, and coordinating appropriate containment and remediation activities. You will administer and improve security technologies such as firewalls, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, identity and access management, security information and event management, and intrusion detection systems. You will conduct vulnerability assessments, support penetration testing, review system and network changes, and provide practical recommendations to reduce exposure. The role will also involve contributing to security standards, procedures, risk assessments, audit activity and incident response exercises, as well as preparing clear technical reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Applicants should have proven experience in an IT security, network security or infrastructure engineering role, with a solid understanding of security principles, threat management and secure system design. Experience with cloud security, Microsoft or Linux environments, scripting, security monitoring and recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls would be advantageous. Relevant certifications, including Security+, SSCP, CISSP, CISM or cloud security qualifications, are desirable. You will be analytical, methodical and confident working under pressure, with strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex issues clearly. A proactive approach, commitment to continuous learning and a strong sense of professional integrity are essential.
