The Role:
We’re looking for a Security Engineer to join our Infrastructure and Security team and contribute to our mission of transforming clinical research through data-driven insights. You’ll report to the Senior Manager, Infrastructure and Security, and this role is open to candidates based in Belgium.
What You'll Bring

• 5+ years in security engineering, cloud security or a closely related field, including at least 3 years hands-on in vulnerability management or platform security.
• Proven, production experience applying AI to security operations: you have shipped it and can show what it changed.
• Hands-on experience securing cloud platforms (ideally Azure and Kubernetes/AKS) and with vulnerability, container and dependency scanning tools.
• Working knowledge of ISO 27001:2022, including testing controls and producing audit evidence.
• Scripting and automation skills (Python, PowerShell, KQL or similar), comfort with APIs and AI agents, and fluent English.

 
Nice to Have

• Experience in a regulated environment (life sciences, healthcare or fintech), with familiarity with NIS2 and SOC 2 evidence or GRC tooling.
• Experience with the Microsoft security stack (Defender, Entra ID, Purview) and knowledge of AI security frameworks such as the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications or ISO/IEC 42001.

What You'll Be Doing

• Run security scanning and vulnerability management across cloud infrastructure, platform, containers, applications, endpoints and SaaS tools, prioritising by real-world exploitability and business risk rather than tool severity.
• Drive remediation to closure with Engineering, SRE and IT, and report exposure and trends in terms leadership can act on.
• Secure our Azure and Kubernetes platform alongside the SRE team: set hardening baselines, review infrastructure-as-code and architecture changes, and build security checks into our delivery pipelines.
• Carry out ISO 27001:2022 control checks and keep audit-ready evidence, automating control monitoring and evidence collection wherever possible.
• Design, build and run AI-assisted workflows that cut manual effort across security operations, with guardrails built in by design.
• Help shape and deliver the security roadmap for your areas of ownership.
