Systems V&V Engineer

Based in Bristol

Salary up to £55,000 + bonus + strong benefits

This isn’t just testing.

This is proving that a system designed to protect lives actually works when it matters most.

You’ll be working at the heart of a Command & Control system, the brains behind how threats are understood, prioritised, and dealt with in real time. Complex, high-stakes engineering where “good enough” simply isn’t.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Defining real-world test scenarios for complex systems
  • Setting success criteria that actually mean something
  • Verifying systems against requirements, not just ticking boxes
  • Working across the full lifecycle, with exposure to multiple engineering disciplines

What you’ll bring:

  • Systems Engineering experience on software-led products
  • Experience in verification, validation, or test environments
  • Familiarity with tools like DOORS, Rhapsody, or SysML helps, but isn’t essential

Why this role:

  • You see the whole system, not just your piece of it
  • You work on real defence capability, not theory
  • You’re trusted to think, not just follow process
  • You’ll be stretched, supported, and developed

On top of that:

  • Bonus, strong pension, paid overtime
  • Up to 15 extra days leave
  • Real investment in your development

You’ll need to hold current British citizenship and be eligible for UK security clearance.

If you want to work on systems that genuinely matter, and be part of proving they’re ready, this is worth a conversation.

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.
