Cyber Security Engineer in Bradford

Vulcan Cyber Security Engineer

The Mission

We\’re looking for a top-tier Security Engineer to join our dynamic cybersecurity team on a contract basis. Think of yourself as a digital detective and a fortress architect, all in one.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take charge of our vulnerability management program. You\’ll be our go-to expert, safeguarding our digital kingdom by finding, prioritizing, and helping to squash security weaknesses across our entire IT landscape. If you love hunting for flaws and building iron-clad defences, this is the role for you.

What You\’ll Actually Be Doing

• Be the Vulcan Cyber Maestro: You\’ll be the driving force behind our Vulcan Cyber platform, using it to orchestrate, automate, and track our entire vulnerability management workflow.
• Own the Lifecycle: Manage the full vulnerability lifecycle—from detection to destruction. You\’ll ensure our defences are robust against emerging threats.
• Wield the Toolkit: Operate and optimize our security arsenal, including Vulcan Cyber, Tenable, and Defender, to conduct deep-dive assessments and generate reports that make sense.
• Tell the Security Story: Create and deliver killer reports, metrics, and dashboards for both our technical wizards and senior leaders.
• Team Up: Collaborate closely with our Incident Response (IR) pros (who live in CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender) to connect the dots between vulnerabilities, threat intel, and live-fire incidents.
• Stay One Step Ahead: Keep your finger on the pulse of the latest vulnerabilities, exploits, and fixes, translating that knowledge into actionable advice for the whole company.
• Be the Bridge: Work with IT Ops, Dev, and Compliance teams to get vulnerabilities remediated fast and ensure we\’re always ticking the right regulatory boxes.
• Level Up Our Game: Help us continuously improve our vulnerability management processes and integrate our security platforms into one seamless, automated machine.

Your Security Arsenal (Essential Skills)

• A solid track record in vulnerability management, cybersecurity operations, or a similar high-tech trench.
• Expert working knowledge of Vulcan Cyber. This is the big one. We need your mastery of its workflow automation, remediation tracking, reporting, and prioritization magic.
• Advanced proficiency with vulnerability management tools, specifically Tenable.sc and Tenable.io.
• Hands-on experience with EDR and threat intel platforms, especially CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender.
• An analytical mind that sees patterns in complex security data and a relentless drive to find the \”why\” and \”how.\”
• You\’re a master communicator, able to translate complex \”geek-speak\” into plain English for non-technical folks (and talk shop with the best of them).
• You\’re a self-starter who can own a project, but also a team player who knows security is a group effort.
• Shiny certs like CISSP, CISM, or CEH are a massive plus.

Bonus Points (Preferred Qualifications)

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, InfoSec, or a related field (or equivalent real-world experience).
• You\’ve navigated the complex jungle of a large enterprise environment before.
• You speak the language of compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR).
