About Ensek
Ensek builds the cloud‑native SaaS software that’s transforming how energy retailers operate, innovate and manage at scale. We help retailers lower operating costs, improve billing accuracy for consumers, and enhance customer experience through automation and AI‑driven insight, all underpinned by modern, cloud‑native architecture.
Ensek is at an exciting inflection point as we scale at pace towards new international horizons. If you’re driven by solving complex, real‑world problems and want to protect resilient, cloud‑native platforms that accelerate the global energy transition, you’ll feel right at home with us.
About The Role
As a Senior Cyber Security Engineer you will embed security into the DNA of our B2B SaaS platform. You’ll partner with Engineering, SRE, Risk and Product to build security into every part of our product lifecycle, enabling high‑velocity delivery without ever compromising trust or resilience.
This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role. You’ll influence architecture, automate security controls, strengthen detection & response, and drive a measurable uplift in our security posture. You’ll define our standards, lead threat modelling, and champion secure‑by‑design practices across an engineering organisation that’s modernising rapidly and ready for your expertise.
