Cyber Security Engineer - Red Team

Immersive is hiring! Could you be our next Cyber Security Engineer?

Due to customer demand and increasing maturity within our platform we have an exciting and challenging opportunity for an experienced cyber professional within the offensive security sector - with expertise in conducting red team engagements - to join our Product team as Cyber Security Engineer - Red Team.

If successful you will join our Cyber team working closely with our Cyber Team Leads as we embark on this exciting new phase of product development within our market leading cyber resilience platform.

This isn’t an ordinary red team role - we know everyone claims this and will tell you their role is super unique…but this one really is.

You are constantly researching, learning, totally geeking out on all things offensive security related, from red teaming, to the latest AI driven attacks, and then taking that knowledge and creating labs and ranges.

You will be a key player in our Red Team Content team, shaping and influencing the roll out of our offensive security and AI pen test content roadmap, simulating attack paths and helping train our users to counter the latest threats.

You will be educating the world of offensive security professionals on how to make sure they are secure in what they do. Now that is a pretty cool legacy to leave behind.

Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to evolve and disrupt within the Red Team space by creating emulated environments within our platform that will simulate both hacking and defending in an engaging and intuitive way for our community.

You will design, build and deliver practical and theory content to gamify offensive security and make it engaging and fun for the end user. You'll shake up traditional training and teach complex concepts in an innovative way.

If you have an interest in and passion for cyber security, are experienced in the area of offensive security, and want to disrupt how employees build their resilience against the latest threats we will appreciate your input and give you the space to innovate within our market leading platform, Immersive One.

Your main responsibilities (we're scaling fast, so these may change as we grow):

  • Utilising knowledge of pen test and red teaming engagements and techniques to plan, write and improve offensive security labs, challenges and online learning content on the Immersive One platform.

  • Produce multi-format content utilising various teaching methods; practical exercises, questions & gamification

  • Test Red Team labs and ranges to ensure they function as expected

  • Research vulnerabilities, tools and offensive tactics and compile this research to deliver practical and theory labs to users

  • Compile technical research into understandable concise content for both technical and non-technical audience

  • Work with the wider Product team on new projects and product innovations and how best to deploy them

Sounds good? We’d love to hear from you if you have proven experience in the following areas:

  • A number of years of experience working in offensive security as a penetration tester or as a Offensive Security Consultant

  • In-depth knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and how it is used to help enterprises deal with threats to their organisation.

  • Have a strong technical understanding of networking, computing and cyber security concepts

  • Have the ability to use examples and analogies to simplify complex subjects - your content will train real world users to identify and combat the latest threats so you need to be able to inhabit the mindset of your target audience to create realistic simulations

  • Familiarity with Linux, Docker and Python would be beneficial

  • Attitude and approach is just as important as technical skills for this role - you will be someone who enjoys tackling complex problems and finding the solution. You'll be a natural problem solver and 'tinkerer' who enjoys prototyping and iteration.

Immersive’s growth has been fuelled by our values that underpin everything we do, here's how they relate to this role:

  • Driven - We push the boundaries of innovation, acting swiftly to achieve ambitious outcomes. Our drive embodies a culture of ambition, where challenges are stepping stones to excellence.

  • Inclusive - Our strength lies in diversity, fostering a culture where every individual contributes to our collective strength. We champion open dialogue and empathy, ensuring a collaborative, inclusive workplace.

  • Customer Centric - We seek to develop deep relationships with our customers to help them achieve their business outcomes. We exceed our customers and partners' expectations by crafting products, services and experiences that surprise, delight and ensure they feel valued and supported every day.

  • One Team -We are a talented global team working together to achieve our vision. Central to our ethos, resilience means adapting and thriving in adversity. It guides our innovation, ensuring we and our clients are prepared for the future.

We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you and do your very best work. Excited by the above? We’re ready to receive your application!


As well as an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you. We offer an extensive range of benefits so you can do your very best work:

  • Time off, flexible and remote working so you can work when is best for you, includes 25 days annual leave + 2 volunteering days and your birthday off

  • The longer you are with Immersive, the more holiday days you get, up to a maximum of 30 days after five years of service

  • Look after your family and yourself with enhanced parental leave, mindfulness groups, critical illness cover, 7% matched pension, private healthcare plan and more

  • Career and learning development through the platform, a dedicated professional development fund and our ‘Learn Anything’ fund - which enables you to learn anything that’s not work!

  • Recognition & Rewards for doing great work and living our values and behaviours

  • Informal or formal flexible working options, e.g. flexible start and finish times, reduced hours

  • We have a vibrant team culture with team events throughout the year. Our socials have included everything from pottery painting and paper mask making, to dungeons and dragons!

  • When you do visit the UK hub, getting there is easy: we’re based in the centre of Bristol, just a 10 minute walk from the train station. We also offer railcard loan and cycle scheme to buy a new bike

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
