Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled

Security Engineer

to design, build and

optimise

our security platform and controls across on‑prem and cloud. Partnering with SOC/incident response, IT/DevOps and business teams, you will strengthen

SIEM

analytics,

EDR

policy and response,

identity and access (IAM)

controls, and security logging/retention to accelerate detection, containment and risk‑based decision making. (This role includes core

traditional security engineer

responsibilities.)

Key Responsibilities

Endpoint \& Detection Operations

Operate and fine-tune EDR, ensuring high visibility and timely response to detections.

Investigate alerts, triage incidents, and coordinate remediation with IT and engineering teams.

Develop and maintain detection rules, response playbooks, and operational dashboards.

Vulnerability \& Exposure Management

Run regular vulnerability scans across endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads.

Prioritise findings based on exploitability and asset criticality.

Work with system owners to track remediation progress and verify fixes.

Cloud Security (AWS Focus)

Review and improve AWS configurations using AWS tools or CNAPP / CSPM monitoring tools (e.g., Wiz, Orca)

Support secure architecture and IaC practices (Terraform, CloudFormation) with dev teams.

Automate checks and alerting for misconfigurations and policy violations.

Secure Development \& DevSecOps (Nice to Have)

Support developers on secure coding practices and pipeline integration (e.g., Snyk).

Review secrets management, API credential handling, and CI/CD pipeline security.

Identity \& Access Control

Implement and maintain least privilege and MFA policies across systems.

Assist with SSO/SCIM integrations (e.g., Entra ID, 1Password, Cloudflare Zero Trust).

Collaboration \& Continuous Improvement

Work alongside IT Operations and Cloud teams to deploy, harden, and monitor security tools.

Participate in incident response exercises, phishing simulations, and post-incident reviews.

Contribute to process documentation and internal knowledge base (e.g., runbooks, playbooks).

Requirements

4–6 years of hands-on security experience, ideally in endpoint protection, cloud security, or vulnerability management.

Strong working knowledge of AWS security services, IAM, and network fundamentals.

Practical experience with EDR tools (CrowdStrike, Defender, etc.) and vulnerability scanners (Qualys, Tenable, etc.).

Solid understanding of incident response, detection engineering, and access control principles.

Exposure to security frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST) is a plus, but not mandatory.

Clear communicator who can explain security findings to both technical and non-technical teams.
