Security Engineer
We are looking for an experienced Security Engineer to join the security function of a leading global hedge fund.
Technology sits at the heart of the business, supporting investment professionals, quantitative researchers and engineers across sophisticated trading and research environments. As the organisation continues to scale, security is critical to protecting its infrastructure, applications, data and users.
This role will contribute across the firm’s broader security function, helping to identify and manage risk, strengthen technical controls, and improve the organisation’s ability to prevent, detect and respond to security threats.
You will work across a complex technology estate spanning cloud, endpoints, identity, networks, applications and production infrastructure.
