Security Engineer
About the assignment
A leading organisation is strengthening its security posture by building a dedicated security engineering function. You'll be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security infrastructure that detects, prevents, and responds to threats.
You'll work across network security, access controls, and system hardening. Your role bridges detection and prevention—translating security requirements into operational reality.
The impact is direct: every control you implement reduces risk and increases resilience.

- Design and deploy network security controls including firewalls, intrusion detection, and segmentation
- Implement identity and access management policies aligned with organisational standards
- Monitor security events and respond to incidents in real-time
- Harden systems and infrastructure against common attack vectors
- Document security architecture and maintain runbooks for operational teams
- Collaborate with infrastructure and application teams to embed security into deployments
- Conduct vulnerability assessments and track remediation progress
- Stay current with threat intelligence and emerging security risks
