We’re one of the UK’s biggest retailers, a multi-brand multi-channel operation, that needs transformative tech to underpin everything we do. And in this area of our business, we’re focused on doing exactly that - enhancing the speed, flexibility and efficiency of our applications by providing best-in-class platforms and tools that colleagues and customers alike love to use.

We’re bold in our thinking and we’re given the space to try new things, creating amazing solutions that enable the business to move faster and better and that enrich the working days of hundreds of thousands of our colleagues. We use cutting-edge tech to allow the build of applications to happen at pace and enable colleagues to be fully productive and collaborative anywhere they need to work, keeping every colleague and customer connected to our technology in a way that works for them.

As a Senior Security Engineer, you are uniquely placed to drive significant improvements within Sainsbury’s, both tactically and strategically. This role helps bring together a view of the risks we face, the capabilities required to mitigate them, and the tooling which can provide this.

You will be able to influence the strategic direction, providing insight on the ever-changing threat landscape and how tooling can be refined to deal with emerging threats.

What we’re looking for:
  • Be a great communicator: Can take technical concepts and communicate effectively to non-technical areas of the business to support risk-based decision making.
  • Take ownership: Identify areas for improvement, gain support and sponsorship, and own the initiative to completion.
  • A desire to make things better: To continually seek new opportunities to improve our ways or working to stay up to date with the evolving threat landscape.
  • Be innovative: To be able to think differently and tackle problems in unique ways, whilst understanding the core requirements of the wider business.
  • Be an advocate of Information Security both through the IS community and within the rest of the business.
  • A relevant degree in computer science or related discipline, or significant equivalent experience.
  • Strong technical, hands-on experience with a breadth of security tooling, including:Cloud technology, API Security, End point protection, Web Application Firewalls, Data Loss Prevention, Network tooling, Email perimeter tooling & SIEM.
  • A strong understanding of industry frameworks such as NIST, PCI DSS, ISO27001, OWASP.
As well as lots of on-the-job training and endless opportunities, you’ll get:

  • Holiday allowance
  • Bonus scheme
  • Pension plan
  • Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more
Work-life balance is important to us, so we offer our colleagues as much flexibility as possible in line with the needs of their role. We trust them to decide how, where and when they work, combining remote and collaborative working with a flexible approach to hours, giving them plenty of time and space for life outside of work whilst delivering against our business goals.
