Security Engineer - Hedge Fund (A2DA859)

Security Engineer – Greenfield Role

Referment is partnering with a newly launched, technology-driven investment firm to hire a Security Engineer who will play a pivotal role in building the firm's security function from the ground up.

This is a genuine greenfield opportunity where you'll have significant ownership over security architecture, tooling, and processes from day one. Working alongside a highly technical engineering team and senior leadership, you'll help establish a modern, engineering-led security programme designed to scale with the business.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and own detection and response capabilities, including alerting, threat detection, canaries, honeypots, and incident response workflows
  • Implement security controls across cloud, infrastructure, and application environments
  • Develop and enhance authentication, authorisation, identity, and certificate management frameworks
  • Partner closely with software and infrastructure engineers to embed security throughout the development lifecycle
  • Define the long-term security architecture, standards, and strategy as the platform evolves

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.
