Overview

We’re on the hunt for a hands-on Cyber Security Engineer to protect, monitor, and strengthen our IT landscape. You’ll safeguard our AWS cloud environment and ensure our systems stay secure, resilient, and fully compliant with financial regulations.

You’ll bring real-world experience with security tools, threat detection, and incident response, helping us evolve and harden our defences every day. A background in a regulated industry (like financial services) is important, as is a strong grasp of infrastructure fundamentals across networks, servers, and cloud platforms.

If you’re ready to take ownership of our security posture and make a measurable impact, we’d love to have you on the team.

What you will do

• Operate and optimise a wide range of security platforms, including SIEM, XDR, EDR, IAM, DLP, PAM, ZTNA, and vulnerability management tools
• Take ownership of the detection and response lifecycle – triaging alerts, investigating incidents, identifying root causes, and coordinating response actions
• Implement and manage security controls across AWS, Azure, and on‑prem environments, aligning with frameworks like ISO 27001, PCI‑DSS
• Build and maintain clear, actionable dashboards and reports for technical and leadership teams, covering threats, vulnerabilities, incident trends, and control effectiveness
• Keep our documentation tight – from runbooks and playbooks to standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Support internal and external audits, helping maintain evidence, reporting, and demonstrating control effectiveness
• Devoted to the FCA principle of Consumer Duty; by ensuring we are driving good customer outcomes across all aspects that have potential to impact our customers.

What we’re looking for

• A solid track record working in cyber security operations, with real hands-on experience
• Strong familiarity with cloud platforms – especially AWS and Azure – and applying cloud security principles in live environments
• Experience in a regulated industry, ideally financial services, with knowledge of relevant compliance standards (e.g., ISO 27001, PCI‑DSS)
• Hands-on expertise with Microsoft security tools – including Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Cloud, Defender for Identity, Microsoft Purview, Taegis, Z-Scaler or equivalents
• A strong infrastructure foundation – you should understand how networks, servers, and systems operate so you can secure them effectively
• Solid knowledge of network architecture and protocols, including the OSI model, and how to apply layered security
• Experience with vulnerability management, security assessments, and working within ITSM/ITIL frameworks
• A proactive mindset – you’re always looking for ways to improve, automate, and enhance how security is delivered
• Strong communication skills – you’re confident translating technical risks into clear, actionable insights for different audiences

What we offer

• Lifestyle: A competitive salary and attractive benefits package including 33 days holidays including bank holidays upon commencement, with the ability to buy more or sell back. You can participate in gadget schemes. Contributory workplace pension scheme. Additionally, you’ll get an extra day to celebrate your birthday.
• Opportunities to grow: Training and coaching for personal development/progression, and employee recognition programmes to help you grow in your career.
• Health: Private medical insurance, life assurance, and more.
• Wellbeing: Discounts on gym memberships, cycle to work schemes, and a 24/7 employee assistance programme. Sociable working hours and breakfast snacks in the office.
