Standard 8 is recruiting a security infrastructure engineer for an established technology organisation running a complex, security-sensitive infrastructure estate.

This is a hands-on engineering role, not a policy-heavy security position. You’ll work across infrastructure, cloud, networking and identity, making sure security is built into the environment rather than bolted on afterwards.

You’ll be involved in 3rd line support, system hardening, vulnerability remediation, patching, access controls, monitoring and incident response , alongside infrastructure upgrades and wider technology projects.

We’re looking for someone with around 3–5+ years’ experience across infrastructure, security engineering or DevSecOps who is comfortable getting into the technical detail.

You’ll ideally bring experience across

AWS, Azure or GCP security
Linux administration and hardening
IAM, SSO, MFA, RBAC and privileged access
SIEM, EDR and vulnerability management
TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls, VPNs and proxies
Terraform, Ansible, Python or Bash
Docker and Kubernetes
NIST, CIS Benchmarks and/or ISO 27001
Security incident investigation and remediation

You don’t need to tick every box. What matters is a strong infrastructure background, credible hands-on security experience and the ability to troubleshoot problems.

CISSP, CCSP or Security+ would be useful, but practical experience carries more weight.
