Security Engineering Manager

Description:

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 ey 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
