Create job alert

Are you an accomplished IT Security Engineer (Application &/or Infrastructure / Cloud focused), looking to make your next move into a small team of like-minded, security focused people?
Would you relish the opportunity to work with one of the UK’s leading independent Software houses, with a global footprint (but UK HQ), 500 staff & a focus on technical excellence?
If so, we are looking for an experienced IT Security Engineer to join our growing Security Ops team, working closely with the wider GRC & policy team, DevOps teams, Dev’ team & internal IT teams to make sure security is at the heart of all our technical process'.
This role will cover a wide array of security areas across our SaaS private and public cloud environments, as well as corporate domains & internal infrastructure and will require a skilled individual to spearhead efforts in fortifying both infrastructure and application platforms, against potential threats.
Job title: IT Security Engineer. Also known as: Cyber Security Engineer, Security Engineer, Information Security Engineer, or similar!
Salary: £75K - £80K Basic + 10% Bonus + Extensive Benefits package
Location: London office, but nearly 100% remote (UK) role – 1 day per month in London for a Team meet up & after bedding in for 6 months this can become even less.
We’d hope that an experienced individual will know what the role entails, but some key points to be considered:
Must have skills and experience:

  • At least 3 years of hands-on, proven industry experience in a similar role, in a technical environment.
  • Good understanding of security principles, technologies, and best practices, including threat detection and security incident response processes.
  • Experience implementing security in AWS environments (in the main), including proactive configuration of AWS accounts and assets to meet good security practices
  • Experience conducting security operations checks using security monitoring tools and responding to alerts.
  • Proactive in staying updated with the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation techniques.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal guidance, take initiative, and think creatively, while also being collaborative and team-oriented with good communication skills.
    Advantageous skills/ experience:
  • Bachelor/master’s degree in computer science, Information Security, or related Security certification: CISSP, CISM, or similar.
  • Experience with security tools such as Alert Logic, Qualys, M365 Security, and AWS Security Products.
  • Understanding security compliance standards relevant to the SaaS industry, such as PCI, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST.
  • An understanding of network protocols & practices, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems and WAFs.
    We value teamwork, collaboration & technical excellence – the company are heavily weighted toward technical staff (as you would hope, for a Software company!) so you must be comfortable within this environment.
    An excellent opportunity for an IT Security professional to make their mark, at a global, UK driven, SaaS product company.

This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
