Role Overview
We’re representing a global quantitative trading organisation hiring a Security Specialist into the team responsible for protecting its internal computing environment. The position sits between security engineering and security operations, with a particular focus on Windows platforms, endpoint protection and the practical delivery of security controls across a large-scale technology estate.
This is broader than a narrowly defined Windows security specialist position. The engineer will contribute across vulnerability management, endpoint security, incident response and operational security, while working directly with infrastructure and engineering teams to resolve issues and improve how controls are implemented. It offers significant technical exposure without requiring somebody who is already operating as a senior security architect, infrastructure security Tech Lead or highly specialised Windows security engineer. Strong practical security knowledge, good technical judgement and a solid foundation in scripting are more important than advanced software engineering or code-review experience...
