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'.

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.

• 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.
