A well-regarded international law firm with a global presence is looking for a Cyber Security Engineer to join their newly established SecOps function. This is a rare opportunity to get in at the ground level of a security team being built with real intent as the firm go into a growth phase
Why this role is worth a look
The firm is mid-way through two significant security initiatives, a zero-trust operating model transition and ISO 27001 certification. You won't be maintaining someone else's work. You'll be shaping how security actually operates across a complex, internationally connected organisation.
The tech stack is serious. The roadmap is clear. And the leadership team knows what good looks like.

- Maintaining and optimising the CrowdStrike EDR platform, configuring policies, tuning SIEM rules, managing performance
- Working with network engineers on posture management including NAC segmentation, lateral movement controls, and firewalls (Palo Alto)
- Leading and participating in incident response, root cause analysis, runbook development, and live incident handling
- Vulnerability scanning, threat monitoring, alert triage, and remediation support
- Managing WAF, DDoS, VPN, and perimeter firewall environments
- Supporting MFA, SSO, PAM, MDM/MAM, and Conditional Access alongside the Endpoints team
- Collaborating with third-party penetration testers on vulnerability identification and remediation
- Contributing to ISO 27001 certification and CIS controls implementation
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
