Overview
The Senior IT Security Engineer will be based on a hybrid basis from our stunning office in central Leeds, so you’ll need to be within a commutable distance to allow you to travel to the office. Because team members and colleagues are also based in our APAC region, you may need to participate in out‑of‑normal working hours calls on a weekly basis, so flexibility is required.

You’ll get the chance to follow your chosen career path anywhere in MUFG Pension & Market Services, joining a network of experienced, innovative and dedicated individuals across multiple teams and countries. Numerous opportunities exist to learn new skills and develop your career with the support you need to succeed.
