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
