Job Description
I am hiring a Security Engineering Manager to build and lead a small, elite team protecting next- trading and crypto custody infrastructure. Reporting directly to the CTO, this is not a purely strategic or oversight role. You’ll be owning the security vision, building the roadmap, writing code, reviewing architecture, threat modelling, and automating at scale, while building a high-performance team around you.
This is what you will own:
Security Engineering Strategy
Define and execute the security vision across cloud infrastructure, applications, and detection systems, aligned to real-world risks, not checkbox compliance.
Team Leadership
Hire, mentor, and retain top-tier security engineers. Build a culture of technical excellence and trust.
Technical Execution
Design and implement secure-by-default patterns in AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and crypto- systems.
Own IaC scanning, secrets detection, and automated control implementation.
Threat Modelling & Incident Readiness
Lead technical reviews of high-value trading and custody systems. Translate threat intel into proactive engineering solutions.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with Engineering, DevOps, and Product teams to embed security from day one, not as a blocker, but as an enabler.
Please apply if you have done the following:
You’ve led security engineering teams but still write code and review complex systems personally
You’ve secured cloud-, high-availability, and/or low-latency trading systems
You’ve worked with or around crypto custody, DeFi protocols, or MPC wallets
You’re passionate about automation, infrastructure-as-code, and reducing manual security toil
You can clearly communicate risk to both engineers and senior stakeholders
As the Security Engineering Manager, you must be comfortable presenting security posture and roadmaps to executive leadership.
This role is hybrid out of London.

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.

Cyber Security Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Check Your Market Value in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey no longer protects you. “Could I earn more at a managed SOC?” “Is that fintech’s offer really competitive?” Every UK cyber‑security professional asks some version of those questions—usually after another colleague lands a pay rise, a recruiter sends a tempting JD, or a fresh breach makes headline news. Yet salary guides published even last year feel as out‑of‑date as a forgotten antivirus signature. Since 2024, ransomware gangs switched to double‑extortion, deepfake phishing exploded, & the EU’s NIS2/DORA regulations bled into UK contracts despite Brexit. With each shift, salary bands move. To cut through stale averages, CybersecurityJobs.tech distilled a three‑factor formula that lets you estimate a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your role, your UK region, & your seniority level. The output arms you with data‑driven leverage for your next appraisal, job application, or freelance rate card. This article explains the formula, reveals the forces pushing cyber pay ever higher, & outlines five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.

You’ll learn how to simplify complex concepts, structure effective presentations, use storytelling and analogies, and handle common stakeholder questions with confidence.
