Infrastructure Security Engineering Manager in Manchester

Matillion is the intelligent data integration platform. We are changing how the world works with data – and we need driven, curious people who think big and move fast. We built the Data Productivity Cloud to supercharge data productivity, and now we’re shaping the future of data engineering with Maia – our AI-powered virtual data engineers that help teams design, build, and manage data pipelines at unmatched speed. Join #TeamGreen, where the mission comes first, collaboration drives us forward, and everyone pulls in the same direction to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves.

We are now hiring an Infrastructure Security Engineering Manager to join our wider IT & Security team, working hybrid to our Manchester office.

About the role

Ready to lead a team while staying deeply hands-on? This critical, autonomous role places you at the forefront of defence across our expansive multi-cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure). You will design, implement, and automate security best practices, driving strategy and leveraging cutting-edge technology to defeat sophisticated cyber threats. Your key responsibility is securing our latest AI infrastructure (Maia/Bedrock). This highly visible role also involves directly mentoring a junior but eager team, helping them build confidence and technical expertise. If you are an innovator ready to blend technical leadership with hands-on security implementation, this is the challenge for you.

What you will be doing

• Lead the entire Infrastructure and Cloud Security domain, building defence and security best practices across our multi-cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Act as a hands-on technical leader, coaching and guiding a junior team to improve their confidence and technical progress.
• Drive key projects, including securing Matillion’s AI infrastructure and the data associated with it (using technologies like Bedrock and Cloud).
• Develop and implement security automation, utilising AI and cutting-edge technologies to enhance our cyber attack response capabilities.
• Collaborate heavily with other departments (IT, Sales, etc.) to detect malicious activities, educate on security risk, and manage the overall security posture.

What we are looking for

• Very strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security risks to both technical engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluent in AWS cloud and cloud security, with experience in GCP and Azure considered a bonus.
• Strong background in coding and automation; this role requires someone very technical who has built custom automation or workflows to solve security problems.
• Hands-on cloud security and security incident response lead who has managed high profile public security incidents.
• Experience with cutting-edge technology, AI, and developing solutions where no end-to-end workflow currently exists.

At Matillion, we are committed to providing competitive salaries in line with market standards. Our estimated compensation range for this position is £80,000 - £120,000, but the final salary will be based on your relevant skills, experience and qualifications demonstrated in the hiring process.
