Lead security engineer

Dublin
RECRUITERS
Security engineer
Posted: 2 May
Offer description

Dublin (Hybrid – 2–3 days onsite)
The Opportunity
This is not a maintenance role - it’s a build-and-own position in a growing global security function tackling one of the hardest modern challenges: Shadow IT risk.
As organisations scale rapidly across SaaS, cloud, and automation platforms, uncontrolled technology usage creates real exposure across data security, privacy, and compliance.
You’ll take the lead in designing and operating a structured governance and enforcement model - balancing risk, business impact, and usability at enterprise scale.
What You’ll Be Doing

Own and evolve a Shadow IT governance & enforcement framework across a global environment
Design and implement blocking strategies for unapproved applications (criteria, thresholds, risk scoring)
Lead escalation and exception processes, making high-impact risk decisions
Partner with Security, Legal, Privacy, and Engineering teams to drive compliance pathways
Build clear documentation and executive-level reporting on security decisions and outcomes
Develop data models, dashboards, and analytics to track trends (blocking, unblocks, risk patterns)
Improve visibility through automation and tooling integration (SaaS discovery, telemetry, intake systems)
Identify gaps in governance and continuously improve controls

What You Bring

Strong experience in Security Engineering, Governance, or Risk Management within large environments
Deep understanding of data protection, SaaS risk, and cloud security
Proven ability to make risk-based decisions balancing business and security needs
Experience working cross-functionally with Legal, Compliance, and Tech stakeholders
Ability to clearly communicate technical and business impact (including exec-level reporting)
Hands-on experience with data analysis, dashboards, or automation

Nice to Have

Experience with SSPM, CASB, DSPM or similar tooling
Exposure to cloud security frameworks
Background in automation, scripting, APIs, or AI-driven tooling
Tools like Power BI, Alteryx, Power Automate (or equivalents)

Why This Role

Own a high-visibility security problem with real business impact
Work in a global, enterprise-scale environment
Blend technical, governance, and strategic decision-making
Strong chance of extension or permanent conversion

Key Skills (Shortlist Focus)

Data Analysis
Security Governance
Cloud / SaaS Applications

If you’re someone who can build structure in ambiguity, make tough risk calls, and operate at the intersection of security + business, this role is worth a serious look.
