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.

Cyber threats are evolving—and so must the people defending against them.

How to Find Hidden Cyber Security Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, CIISec & More

The demand for skilled cyber security professionals in the UK has never been higher. With threats increasing in sophistication and frequency, organisations are urgently hiring ethical hackers, threat analysts, GRC specialists, and security architects. But many of the most valuable roles—particularly in government, defence, and critical infrastructure—are never publicly advertised. Instead, these jobs are shared behind the scenes through trusted networks, private communities, and professional bodies. In this article, we explore how to uncover hidden cyber security jobs in the UK using organisations like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), CIISec (The Chartered Institute of Information Security), ISACA, and ISC² UK Chapter. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups, CPD events and informal networks to gain early access to roles most people never see.

How to Get a Better Cyber Security Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy is never easy—especially in a fast-moving field like cyber security, where your skills and experience are constantly evolving. But if you’ve recently been made redundant from a cyber security role, know this: the UK cyber workforce remains in high demand, and your expertise is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re a SOC analyst, penetration tester, incident responder, security architect or GRC specialist, there are still thousands of opportunities across sectors including finance, defence, government, retail, and critical infrastructure. This guide will help you turn redundancy into a career relaunch, with a clear action plan tailored to the UK cyber security job market.
