Cyber Security Engineer
Hedge Fund | Small, High-Impact Security Team | London
We are partnering with a highly successful investment management firm seeking a Security Engineer to join a small, technically strong security team responsible for protecting critical trading, research, and corporate technology environments.
This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced hedge fund where security is viewed as a business enabler rather than a compliance function. You will have exposure across infrastructure, cloud, applications, endpoints, and software engineering teams, helping to build and mature security capabilities that directly support investment operations.
The role offers significant breadth, ownership, and visibility, making it ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving complex security challenges across multiple domains.
What You'll Be Doing
- Protect and secure Windows and Linux environments across corporate and production infrastructure
- Enhance endpoint security controls, monitoring, detection, and response capabilities
- Help design, implement, and maintain cloud security controls across Azure and other cloud environments
- Partner with software engineers to embed security throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Drive Application Security initiatives including secure code reviews, threat modelling, and vulnerability remediation
- Build and improve DevSecOps capabilities within CI/CD pipelines
- Lead vulnerability management activities, including scanning, prioritisation, risk assessment, and remediation tracking
- Support incident response investigations and security monitoring activities
- Develop security automation to improve operational efficiency and reduce risk
- Contribute to security architecture reviews and technology assessments
- Work closely with engineering, infrastructure, quant, and investment technology teams to ensure security is integrated into business-critical systems
