About the Role
The Security Engineer plays a crucial role in the development, implementation, maintenance, and monitoring of security controls at LMAX. This position focuses on security technologies and requires individuals with a curious mindset and the ability to identify vulnerabilities at both technical and process levels. Security Engineers must stay updated with the latest tools, security methods, and developments.
About You
- You are passionate about information technology, understand computer systems and networks to a high level and can work with a variety of operating systems and programming/scripting languages.
- You have an inquisitive mindset, showing the ability to identify vulnerabilities at both technical and process levels, and to explain your findings to a non-technical audience.
- You have an automation-first mindset, understand information security standards and have experience implementing best practice in on-premises and cloud-based environments.
- You are capable of working independently in a fast-paced environment. We encourage independent problem-solving, but also expect you to engage with your peers and work with them to break knowledge silos. You will initiate constructive discussions and propose solutions to any challenges encountered. Most importantly, you understand the necessity of harmonizing security endeavours with business goals.
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.
