Security Engineer - Hedge Fund
Location: London (Hybrid - 4/1)
We're working with a highly regarded investment management firm to appoint their first dedicated Security Engineer.
This is a unique opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its security journey, taking ownership of cybersecurity across the organisation and helping shape its long-term security strategy.
You'll become the dedicated security specialist within a collaborative infrastructure team, working closely with cloud, engineering and technology teams to strengthen security across a modern technology estate.
This is a hands-on engineering role suited to someone who enjoys building, improving and owning security rather than simply managing it.
The Role
- Take ownership of the organisation's day-to-day security capability.
- Design, implement and continuously improve security controls across cloud and infrastructure environments.
- Partner with Infrastructure, Cloud and Engineering teams to embed security into technology delivery.
- Drive vulnerability management, incident response and security best practices.
- Support the secure adoption and governance of AI technologies across the business.
- Advise technical and business stakeholders on security risks, architecture and remediation.
- Help define and mature the firm's long-term cybersecurity strategy.
