Principal Cyber Security Engineer

Overview

This is a hybrid role based out of our Leicester office.

Home. There’s no place like it.

And there’s no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home. At Dunelm, that’s what we do. We’re the UK's number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And we’ve crafted a workplace that feels just as welcoming – where you can bring your ideas, be yourself, and feel right at home.

We’re looking for a Principal Cyber Security Engineer to lead and strengthen our Security Operations at Dunelm.

This critical role will take ownership of our Security Operations function and lead both our DevSecOps and SecOps teams, helping to drive a proactive security culture across the organisation. You’ll set the direction for how we build, operate, and secure our platforms, championing a proactive security culture across engineering and operations.

As our senior security technical lead, you’ll influence architecture decisions, strengthen our secure engineering practices, and embed robust controls throughout the development lifecycle. You’ll also drive improvements in detection, response, and operational resilience across all our technology platforms. This is a role for someone who wants to shape strategy, lead talented teams, and make a meaningful difference to how we protect and scale our business.
