Job Description: MCS Group is working exclusively with one of the most exciting technology companies in the UK and Ireland as they look to expand their Cyber Security team. Established over 7 years ago, our client has grown from strength-to-strength having created a unique platform that in essence, makes software engineers' lives easier and allows technology organisations to create, deliver and maintain better software. With their Cyber Security division expanding, we're looking for a senior/lead Application Security Engineer who will report to a newly appointed head of security (a proper high achiever) and will immerse themselves in a major strategic initiative of making this ground breaking platform more secure from an application security perspective.
This is the perfect opportunity to join a truly scaling business that has been in the news in recent months for all the right reasons. Extremely well-funded, offering market leading salaries and benefits including share options. Candidates can be based anywhere in the UK or Ireland (with occasional travel to Belfast HQ), but sponsorship is not available for these roles.
The ideal candidate we're looking for
We're looking for security engineers who have worked in product-focused environments (bonus points if you've worked in a start-up or scale-up previously)
You'll be skilled in building and working with security tools and automation solutions.
You'll have a solid foundation in threat modelling, risk assessment, and penetration testing.
Amazing if you've came from a software engineering background, but at the very least you'll be able to read code and have some level of scripting knowledge.
You'll also be familiar with security monitoring and incident response best practices.
Also great if you have security certifications
Up to £90,000 depending on experience, with 35 days holidays, private medical, 8% matched pension, share options and a work from home budget.
To speak in absolute confidence about this opportunity, please send an up-to-date CV via the link provided or contact Chris Busby, Associate Director - IT Recruitment UK & Ireland, at MCS Group
Even if this position is not right for you, we may have others that are. Please visit MCS Group to view a wide selection of our current and exclusive roleswww.mcsgroup.jobs
All conversations will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
