High-level UK Security Clearance required
Are you a Security Engineer with experience across privileged access management, identity security or enterprise security tooling?
This is a hands-on security engineering role working within a highly secure Defence and National Security environment. You’ll maintain and improve security platforms controlling privileged access, credentials and administrative activity across critical infrastructure.
There is also a requirement within the team for Elastic SIEM capability, so if you have strong Elastic experience alongside your security engineering background, that would also be relevant.
