Job Description:

MCS Group is working exclusively with one of the most exciting technology companies in the UK and Ireland as they look to expand their Cyber Security team. Established over 7 years ago, our client has grown from strength-to-strength having created a unique platform that in essence, makes software engineers' lives easier and allows technology organisations to create, deliver and maintain better software. The Security Engineers will report to a newly appointed head of security (a proper high achiever) and will immerse themselves in a major strategic initiative of making this ground breaking platform more secure from both an application and infrastructural security perspective.

There are multiple roles available as our client is scaling fast. I'm specifically looking to connect with security engineers coming from either an app sec, info sec or cloud security background.

This is the perfect opportunity to join a truly scaling business that has been in the news in recent months for all the right reasons. Extremely well-funded, offering market leading salaries and benefits including share options. Candidates can be based anywhere in the UK or Ireland (with occasional travel to Belfast HQ), but sponsorship is not available for these roles.

What we're looking for:
  1. Significant security engineering experience including Python scripting and automation experience for security tasks.
  2. Strong cloud experience - preference for AWS.
  3. Exposure to CI/CD and pipeline security.
  4. Exposure to threat modelling and pen testing.

This is an engineering-first technology company, so we're specifically looking to connect with engineers with passion-projects, hobbies outside of work and a genuine passion for cyber security.

Up to £80,000 depending on experience, with 35 days holidays, private medical, 8% matched pension, share options and a work from home budget.

To speak in absolute confidence about this opportunity, please send an up-to-date CV via the link provided or contact Chris Busby, Associate Director - IT Recruitment UK & Ireland, at MCS Group.
