RESPONSIBILITIES
What you’ll be doing
This role supports security engineering across the Hosting Landing Zone
platform, helping ensure vulnerabilities, patching requirements and security
controls are effectively assessed, prioritised and addressed. Key
responsibilities include vulnerability management using tools such as Qualys and
platform telemetry, coordinating infrastructure patching while maintaining
service stability, and using Microsoft Sentinel and wider SIEM capabilities for
security monitoring, alert review, event triage and operational response.
The role also involves investigating and coordinating responses to security
events, working closely with Cyber Security, Security & Risk and platform
engineering teams to assess new requirements and deliver agreed actions. In
addition, it supports security documentation, reporting and audit evidence,
while developing security engineering expertise and promoting secure working
practices, continuous improvement and a proactive approach to reducing
operational and security risk.
About you
As a minimum requirement, you’ll have:
• You may already be working in an infrastructure, platform, operations or
security related role and be looking to build deeper experience in security
engineering within a complex enterprise platform environment
• You’ll have a good understanding of infrastructure technologies such as
virtualisation, compute, networking and storage, and an interest in how
security controls are applied across those areas
• You’ll be comfortable working with operational processes, incidents, changes,
risk actions or remediation plans, and able to follow through on agreed
actions with good attention to detail
• Experience of vulnerability management, patching, SIEM tooling, Microsoft
Sentinel, Qualys or security event processes would be helpful, but a
willingness to learn and apply these skills is just as important
• You’ll be able to communicate clearly with colleagues across platform
engineering, Cyber Security, Security & Risk and operational teams, asking
questions where needed and keeping others informed of progress
• You’ll be self-motivated, organised and comfortable balancing delivery,
learning, governance and service stability in a regulated environment
• You’ll bring curiosity, a positive attitude and a desire to develop your
career by contributing to meaningful security and resilience outcomes for the
platform.
