Job description

Security Engineer – API, IAM & Automation

Locations: Glasgow, Greater Manchester or Northampton (Hybrid)

Salary: Up to £67,000 base + bonus (DOE)

The Role

We’re looking for a Security Engineer to join a growing security engineering function, helping to design and build secure, scalable systems with a strong focus on API security, automation, and identity.

This role suits someone from a Security Engineering, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering or Cloud Engineering background who enjoys working close to code and infrastructure, and embedding security into the software development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and secure APIs, including authentication, authorization, and secure communication patterns.
  • Develop and maintain automation and security tooling using Python and Bash.
  • Build and operate Identity & Access Management (IAM) and secrets management solutions.
  • Work closely with software and platform teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Perform vulnerability assessments and support remediation across cloud and application layers.
  • Define and implement security engineering standards, patterns, and best practices.
  • Contribute to audits, risk assessments, and continuous improvement of security controls.

Required Experience

  • Strong experience with API development and API security (REST, OAuth, authentication, secure design).
  • Solid programming / scripting skills in Python and Bash.
  • Hands‑on experience with IAM (e.g. cloud IAM, SSO, RBAC, secrets management).
  • Cloud experience with AWS and/or Azure.
  • Background in Security Engineering, DevSecOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering.
  • Experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Knowledge of vulnerability scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA).
  • Familiarity with container and Kubernetes security.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping secure-by-design engineering practices across a modern cloud and API-driven environment, with real technical ownership and influence.
