Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Influence and Ownership: Take charge of critical aspects of cybersecurity, from network monitoring to cloud security design, and make strategic decisions that drive the company's security posture forward.

  • Professional Growth: Engage with cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, including AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics, ensuring you stay at the forefront of the cybersecurity field.

  • Bachelor's degree in Technology, Cyber Security, IT, or a related field.
  • Over 4 years of experience in a cybersecurity engineering role.
  • Technical certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH preferred; AWS/Azure certifications highly desirable.

  • Proficiency in risk assessment tools and techniques.
  • Experience with firewalls, VPN solutions, and IDS.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and standards (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, Mitre ATT&CK).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure.
  • Effective communication and documentation skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment and work both independently and as part of a team.

    This role is more than just a job; it's a platform to make a significant impact in the cybersecurity domain.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
