Senior Cyber Security Engineer (CyberArk & PAM)

The Role

SysGroup is hiring a Senior Cyber Security Engineer specialising in privileged access management, with CyberArk as the core platform. This is the senior tooling and identity specialist role in the Cyber Security team under our 2026 operating model: you own the design, deployment and health of the security tooling estate across our managed clients, with PAM as your deepest expertise.

Beyond CyberArk, the role carries breadth across the modern security stack: hands-on experience with Zscaler (ZIA/ZPA) and working capability across EDR, SIEM, vulnerability management and the wider cyber product set we operate for clients.

You will report to the Cyber Operations Lead and work closely with the SOC engineers, the Pre-sales Security Consultant and the Platform & Infrastructure teams.
