Are you an accomplished IT
Security Engineer (Application &/or Infrastructure / Cloud focused), looking to make your next move into a small team of like-minded, security focused people?

Would you relish the opportunity to work with one of the UK's leading independent Software houses
, with a global footprint (but UK HQ), 500 staff & a focus on technical excellence?

If so, we are looking for an experienced IT Security Engineer to join our growing Security Ops team, working closely with the wider GRC & policy team, Dev Ops teams, Dev' team & internal IT teams to make sure security is at the heart of all our technical processes.

This role will cover a wide array of security areas across our SaaS private and public cloud environments, as well as corporate domains & internal infrastructure and will require a skilled individual to spearhead efforts in fortifying both infrastructure and application platforms, against potential threats.

Job title:

IT Security Engineer. Also known as:
Cyber Security Engineer, Security Engineer, Information Security Engineer, or similar!

Salary: £75K - £80K Basic + 10% Bonus + Extensive Benefits package

Location:

London office, but nearly 100% remote (UK) role – 1 day per month in London for a Team meet up & after bedding in for 6 months this can become even less.

• At least 3 years of hands‑on, proven industry experience in a similar role, in a technical environment.
• Good understanding of security principles, technologies, and best practices, including threat detection and security incident response processes.
• Experience implementing security in AWS environments (in the main), including proactive configuration of AWS accounts and assets to meet good security practices.
• Experience conducting security operations checks using security monitoring tools and responding to alerts.
• Proactive in staying updated with the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation techniques.
• Ability to work independently with minimal guidance, take initiative, and think creatively, while also being collaborative and team‑oriented with good communication skills.

• Bachelor/master's degree in computer science, Information Security, or related Security certification: CISSP, CISM, or similar.
• Experience with security tools such as Alert Logic, Qualys, M365 Security, and AWS Security Products.
• Understanding security compliance standards relevant to the SaaS industry, such as PCI, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST.
• An understanding of network protocols & practices, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems and WAFs.

We value teamwork, collaboration & technical excellence – the company are heavily weighted toward technical staff (as you would hope, for a Software company!) so you must be comfortable within this environment.

An excellent opportunity for an IT Security professional to make their mark, at a global, UK driven, SaaS product company.
