Security Engineer – Manchester (Hybrid)

Help shape the future of security for one of Manchester's most transformative tech organizations. Vix Technology is driving major change across how we work, how we deliver security‑led solutions for customers, and how we build smarter, more efficient processes internally. As the technology backbone behind the Bee Network and transport systems in more than 200 cities worldwide, we're scaling fast – and strengthening our security capabilities is at the heart of that growth.

We're looking for a Security Engineer who wants to be part of that transformation. Someone who can bring deep technical security expertise, thrive in a high‑growth global environment, and play a hands‑on role in modernising how we protect data, systems, and services. Working hybrid from our Manchester hub, you'll join a collaborative global team and help build the next generation of security operations.

• Driving improvements in security engineering through automation, tooling optimisation, scripting, Zero Trust adoption, and implementation of modern security practices.
• Implementing security solutions across cloud and on‑prem environments including firewalls, SIEM, endpoint protection, IAM, vulnerability management etc.
• Working closely with our global IT, Cloud, and Security Operations teams to ensure our systems stay secure, compliant, and resilient.
• Designing, deploying, and maintaining security controls in line with recognised standards and compliance requirements such as GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI DSS etc.
