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.
