We are currently looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join a fast-growing, innovative technology business operating at the forefront of AI and data-driven products. This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly collaborative, engineering-led environment where security is viewed as a key enabler of innovation.

Reporting to the Head of Engineering, the Senior Security Engineer will play a pivotal role in shaping the organisation's security posture, working closely with software engineers, platform teams and technical leadership to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle.

This is not a traditional SOC or operational security position.

Key responsibilities include:

Driving application and product security initiatives across multiple engineering teams
Conducting security reviews, threat modelling and risk assessments
Implementing and improving vulnerability management processes
Embedding security tooling into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows
Partnering with developers to promote secure coding practices
Reviewing cloud infrastructure and architecture from a security perspective
Supporting incident response and remediation activities when required
Defining and promoting security standards, policies and best practices
Influencing technical decision-making across engineering and leadership teams

This role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing technology organisation where security is a strategic priority rather than an afterthought.

What's in it for you?

Salary up to £120,000
Hybrid working model
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI and technology products
High level of autonomy and influence
Collaborative engineering culture
Career progression opportunities as the business continues to scale
