Cyber Security Engineering Lead

Cyber Security Engineering Lead l £85,000 – £95,000 l Remote (UK or Europe)

TECHTRACE Partners are working with our client to hire a Cyber Security Engineering Lead to take ownership of security controls across cloud, network, infrastructure, endpoint and identity environments within a growing international organisation.

This is a hands-on, engineering-led role focused on enhancing, hardening and continuously improving security controls – not running a SOC or managing compliance.

Why this role is different

• Opportunity to build and mature security controls from the ground up
• Focus on real engineering problems, not process or governance
• High ownership role with responsibility for how security actually works in practice
• Work across cloud, infrastructure, endpoint and identity, not siloed
• Move beyond reactive security into proactive control improvement and hardening

What you’ll be doing

• Own and enhance security controls across:
• Cloud environments (Azure / AWS / M365)
• Network and infrastructure (segmentation, firewalls, exposure)
• Endpoint security (EDR, device hardening, posture)
• Identity & access (IAM / PAM, least privilege, credential lifecycle)
• Improve the effectiveness of technical controls across the environment
• Identify control gaps, misconfigurations, and exposure risks – and drive remediation
• Ensure controls are properly implemented, integrated and continuously optimised
• Strengthen detection capability by improving how controls generate meaningful signals
• Drive improvements in vulnerability management and exposure reduction
• Work closely with engineering and IT teams to embed and enforce security controls at scale

What we’re looking for

• Strong background in security engineering (not purely SOC or GRC)
• Hands-on experience across:
• Cloud security (Azure or AWS)
• Network / infrastructure security
• Endpoint security (EDR)
• Experience improving security controls, not just operating tooling
• Exposure to identity / IAM / PAM and access control design
• Experience working across both cloud and on-prem environments
• Ability to identify weaknesses and drive practical, scalable improvements

Why apply

• Own and shape security controls across a complex, evolving environment
• Join at a point where you can fix, improve and build – not inherit legacy constraints
• High-impact role with real technical ownership and visibility
• Clear alignment with a senior engineering / lead-level position
