ITV is currently seeking a skilled Security Engineer to join our Security Engineering team. This role will be embedded with one of our devolved product teams, and will involve promoting and embedding strong security practices throughout the development lifecycle using the latest technology and processes offered by our Core Security Engineering team. As the subject matter expert, you will provide guidance and advice to the product team's engineers, and act as a single point of contact between the team and the wider Cyber Security department. Additionally, you will maintain a close relationship with our Core Security Engineering team to relay your product team's requirements, and help design, build, operate, and maintain the bespoke in-house services that our Cyber Security team provides to the business. You will also support the implementation of commercial security tooling, such as SIEM, SAST, and CNAPP. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to our ‘More than TV’ strategy and play a critical role in securing some of the UK’s most beloved content.
