Senior Security Engineer
Our client is a fast-growing international entertainment business with a fully owned technology platform and teams across multiple markets. They operate a hybrid working model and have built a genuinely diverse, international team. This is a strong opportunity for a senior security professional to shape and lead the security function with real scope and executive backing.
About the role
This is a senior hire with real scope and executive backing. The successful candidate will define the security strategy, establish processes and tooling, and work closely with engineering, compliance, and data protection teams to build a robust security posture across a cloud-native entertainment technology platform.
The role requires both technical depth and strategic thinking. You will be hands-on when needed but equally comfortable operating at a programme level driving security improvements across the organisation, influencing engineering teams, and ensuring the business stays ahead of an evolving threat landscape.
What you will be doing
Define and implement the cybersecurity strategy and roadmap for the business
Establish and manage a vulnerability assessment programme end-to-end
Coordinate penetration testing activities with external partners and implement findings
Integrate security tooling into CI/CD pipelines including SAST and dependency scanning
Create and maintain security policies, guidelines, and procedures aligned to industry best practice
Work with compliance and data protection teams to meet regulatory requirements
Perform threat modelling during the design phase of new features and systems
Improve existing WAF and SIEM solutions, review alerts, and optimise protection
Define cloud security baselines and best practices for AWS infrastructure
Develop and implement a Security Incident Response Programme
Assess and manage security risks from third-party vendors and integrations
Build and deliver security awareness training across the engineering organisation
