Principal Security Engineer
We are seeking a Principal Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of enterprise security capabilities. You will help shape security architecture, establish engineering standards, and guide the delivery of resilient solutions across cloud, infrastructure, applications, networks, and corporate systems. Working closely with engineering, operations, architecture, risk, and compliance teams, you will translate business and technical requirements into practical security outcomes.
Your responsibilities will include defining and maintaining security architecture principles; identifying and addressing complex technical risks; reviewing designs and threat models; and advising delivery teams on secure-by-design practices. You will lead the development of security controls, automation, monitoring, and incident-readiness capabilities, while supporting vulnerability management, identity and access management, detection engineering, and security testing initiatives. You will also contribute to security policies, standards, and technical roadmaps, assess emerging technologies, and provide clear recommendations to senior stakeholders. The role includes mentoring security engineers and promoting consistent, measurable security practices across the organisation.
You will bring substantial experience in security engineering, architecture, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of modern cloud environments, operating systems, networks, application security, and identity platforms. Experience with infrastructure as code, security automation, SIEM and detection technologies, vulnerability management, and DevSecOps practices is highly desirable. You should be confident analysing complex problems, balancing security with usability and delivery needs, and communicating technical concepts clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome. We are looking for a collaborative, pragmatic, and technically curious professional who can operate strategically while remaining engaged with hands-on engineering and delivery.
