IT Security Engineer - Global Software company

Are you an accomplished ITSecurity Engineer (Application &/or Infrastructure 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 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. Cyber 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:

• A minimum of 3+ years hands-on, proven industry experience in a similar role.
• Industry certifications such as CISSP, CEH, etc or equivalent are highly desirable.
• You have an in-depth knowledge of security principles, technologies, and best practices, threat detection and mitigation strategies.
• Mature understanding / experience with cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure) with a proven track record and work ethic that covers many platforms (Windows/ Linux), to ensure optimal security posture.
• Proven track record of ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability throughout its lifecycle - during transmission, storage, and processing.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills with an innate passion for security.
• A proactive approach to staying updated with the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation techniques.

Advantageous skills/ experience:

• You will have worked on a variety of challenging projects, with multiple security tools & be confident working with internal stakeholders to make sure the organization is compliant with PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC & HIPAA & IRAP controls.
• Strong understanding of network protocols & practices, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems and WAFs.
• Knowledge of security compliance standards relevant to the SaaS industry, such as PCI, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST.
• Experience of external penetration testing scopes.
• Experience securing code reviews and security approvals
• Experience in Cryptography management & enhancements

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.
