The Role

Reports to: Global Head of Cyber Security

Location: WeWork Waterloo, London - Hybrid (At least twice per week)

Comp: £40-£50k (Base) + Company Performance Bonus (10%) + Share Options + UK iProov Benefits

We are looking for a Cyber Security Engineer to strengthen iProov’s hands-on technical security capability.

You will work across security operations, vulnerability management, IT security, email security and the wider technology environment, helping us identify security issues and, importantly, get them fixed.

iProov is a highly technical organisation with a large proportion of the company working in Technology, Innovation  and Science. We therefore need someone who is comfortable working directly with engineers and technical teams rather than operating security purely through policies and processes.

This would suit someone with experience as a SOC Analyst, Security Engineer or security-focused IT Engineer who wants to move into a broader security engineering role.

How you can make an impact 

• Security Operations: Monitor, investigate and respond to security alerts and incidents, working with internal teams and security providers to improve detection, automate operational processes, and maintain effective incident response processes and playbooks.
• Vulnerability Management: Own and continuously improve the vulnerability management process, identifying and prioritising genuine security risks across our technology environment and working with DevOps and TechOps to drive timely remediation, reporting and automation.
• IT & Endpoint Security: Work closely with TechOps  to improve the security of our corporate environment, managing device hardening  and EDR security and identifying and remediating security weaknesses across our fleet.
• Google Workspace Security: Engineer and continuously improve security across our Google Workspace environment, including identity and access controls, email security, authentication, secure configuration and implementation of new security controls and capabilities.
• Security Engineering: Work with Engineering and technical teams to design and implement practical security solutions, tooling and automation, and assess new technologies to ensure security is built in from the outset.
• Security Team Collaboration: Work closely with the Information Security Officer to deliver technical remediation arising from risks, audits and security controls, and partner with the Senior Security Engineer on the implementation and ongoing improvement of security across our infrastructure, AI  tooling and engineering environments.

What we would like to see from you 

• Around 2–3 years’ experience in a SOC, IT engineering, security engineering or similar technical role.
• Good understanding of common security threats and attack techniques.
• Experience investigating security alerts or technical security issues.
• Understanding of endpoint and identity security.
• Familiarity with vulnerability management.
• Comfortable working with cloud and SaaS environments.
• Some scripting or automation experience.
• Able to investigate unfamiliar technical problems independently.
• Comfortable working directly with engineers and other technical teams.
• Pragmatic approach to security and able to balance security requirements with operational and business needs.

Experience with GCP, Google Workspace, macOS security, EDR tooling, SIEM/SecOps platforms or vulnerability management platforms would be beneficial, but not essential.
