About this Opportunity:

At Lloyds Banking Group, we’re moving to the next stages of our digital transformation, and it’s our job within the Chief Security Office (CSO) to ensure that we keep our customers, colleagues and assets safe from threat.

Are you an expert in endpoint security with a passion for innovation? Join our dynamic team as a Senior Endpoint Security Engineer, where we play a crucial role in ensuring the security and integrity of our devices using groundbreaking technologies. If like us, you strive for excellence and are driven by a desire to build the best user experience for your colleagues, then we want to hear from you!

As an engineer in our Modern Workplace Security team within the Chief Security Office, particularly in Microsoft Defender XDR configuration and integration, will shape the future of our security posture.

Though this role does not include direct line management, you’ll mentor junior team members and help drive a culture of continuous learning and security excellence!

In this role, you’ll be responsible for securing client endpoints on both Windows and MacOS platforms. You'll configure and integrate XDR solutions, alongside various operating system security settings, ensuring our threat detection system remains both proactive and robust. By creating automated security solutions using infrastructure as code and API integration we'll improve our operational efficiency.

Striking a balance between top-notch security and a flawless user experience is essential, ensuring our solutions enhance day-to-day productivity without causing disruptions. You’ll collaborate with multi-functional teams to integrate leading security practices throughout the organization and mentor junior engineers, sharing your passion and expertise to cultivate a strong, forward-thinking security culture.

Additionally, you'll actively shape product direction, security strategy, and innovation initiatives, staying ahead of emerging trends and providing guidance on new technologies and effective methodologies to maintain our security.
