Cyber Security Engineer
Location: South Manchester (Hybrid)
Salary: £55,000 per annum
A genuinely hands-on security engineering role for someone who enjoys solving real security problems rather than sitting in a purely process-driven environment.
This position sits closely with the Head of Information Security and covers a broad mix of security engineering, operational security, and continuous improvement work across cloud and on-prem infrastructure. The environment has enough complexity and ownership to keep things interesting, whilst still being close enough to the business to make a visible impact.
