If you are a Senior Security Engineer who understands cloud, SIEM, ISO governance, and real-world threat management — and you’re ready to operate at global scale, this is worth your attention.

We are partnering with a global compliance technology business supporting over a million users across 100+ countries. They are expanding their security capability and require a Senior Information Security Engineer to take ownership of critical security engineering functions across cloud, network, and endpoint environments.

This is not a monitoring role. This is not policy-only governance. This is hands‑on engineering with real responsibility.

This role is suited to someone operating at Senior / Lead level who wants autonomy, scale, and strategic exposure without moving into pure management.

If you meet the brief and are ready to step into a globally visible security engineering position, apply immediately or contact us directly for a confidential discussion.
