Senior Information Security Engineer
Job Description
Senior Information Security Engineer Fully Remote Global Scope Financial Services Technology (CAPE TOWN based ESSENTIAL)
BENEFITS: 50% medical aid on Discovery Coastal Saver
If you are a Senior Security Engineer who understands cloud, SIEM, ISO governance, and real-world threat management - and you're ready to operate at global scale, this is worth your attention.
We are partnering with a global compliance technology business supporting over a million users across 100+ countries. They are expanding their security capability and require a Senior Information Security Engineer to take ownership of critical security engineering functions across cloud, network, and endpoint environments.
This is not a monitoring role. This is not policy-only governance. This is hands on engineering with real responsibility.
This role is suited to someone operating at Senior / Lead level who wants autonomy, scale, and strategic exposure without moving into pure management.
If you meet the brief and are ready to step into a globally visible security engineering position, apply immediately or contact us directly for a confidential discussion.
Serious candidates only. Timing is critical.
What You'll Be Doing- Leading vulnerability management across customer-facing environments
- Driving remediation with engineering teams
- Supporting and tuning SIEM/SOAR deployments
- Strengthening endpoint security across global environments
- Maintaining ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 control alignment
- Supporting audits and governance reporting

- You will also work across:
- Cloud security (AWS, Oracle, M365)
- Palo Alto firewalls (Panorama, GlobalProtect)
- Threat log analysis and rule tuning
- Incident response and forensic support
- Security automation (PowerShell, Python, Bash)
- 10+ years in Information Security Engineering
- Strong SIEM/SOAR management experience
- Proven vulnerability management lifecycle ownership
- Firewall management experience (Palo Alto preferred)
- Cloud workload security expertise
- Experience with ISO 27001 and SOC 2
- Ability to communicate security posture to non-technical stakeholders
- Comfortable operating with minimal supervision
Certifications such as CISSP or CISM are highly advantageous.
Why This Role Stands Out- Fully remote
- Global exposure
- Financial services and regulated industry depth
- High impact and visibility
- Real engineering ownership
