Cyber Security Engineer

The Role

You’ll play a key part in embedding security into IT platforms across both cloud and on-premises environments. You’ll advise on security design, implement and maintain controls, and contribute to incident response and vulnerability management. The role involves working closely with architects, infrastructure teams, and project managers to ensure systems are resilient, compliant, and aligned to best practice. You’ll also be involved in risk assessments, security documentation, monitoring solutions, and continuous improvement of security processes.

You’ll bring strong experience in cyber or IT infrastructure security, ideally within hybrid Microsoft-based environments. You should have hands‑on expertise in areas such as identity and access management, encryption, monitoring tools, and vulnerability management. A sound knowledge of regulatory frameworks and industry security standards is important, along with the ability to balance technical detail with clear communication across technical and non‑technical teams.
