Adword

Job title: Cyber Asset Management Engineer

Start date: Asap!

Duration: 12 months - likely to want to take on perm for the right candidate

IR35: Inside

Location: Remote - candidate needs to be within a reasonable commuting distance from Edinburgh to be able to attend meetings and work on site if / when required. The manager is very flexible but doesn’t want someone that is unable to get to Edinburgh.

Job description:

  • Competent, technical cybersecurity engineer focused on asset visibility, integrations, automation, and turning data into measurable risk reduction
  • Someone who can help us get complete visibility into all of our devices, users, cloud resources, and SaaS applications. Know what we have, know the security gaps, and automate the fixes wherever possible.
  • Hands-on with asset intelligence tools - ideally Axonius or something similar. Comfortable integrating data from multiple systems, making sure the data is accurate, and building queries, dashboards, and automation to highlight risks and drive remediation.

Not just an analyst but an engineer who can:

  • connect systems via APIs, build automations, identify missing security controls and help us turn asset data into real risk-reduction actions.
  • Experience with cybersecurity tooling - things like SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, CSPM, IAM etc.
  • Comfortable working with Python or PowerShell because we want to automate. Someone who drives to closure and who can partner with system owners Why this role matters
  • This role is critical because asset visibility is the foundation of cyber risk management. If we don’t know what assets we have, what controls are missing, or what’s out of compliance, then we can’t secure the environment. This engineer will help us reduce real risk - not just collect data.

The outcomes we expect

  • We are not hiring for activity - we are hiring for visible and quantifiable outcomes. I need someone who can deliver measurable improvements like:
  • higher asset coverage
  • fewer unknown devices
  • automated detection of security gaps
  • automated or semi-automated remediation
  • dashboards that senior leadership can use

The kind of person and soft skills

  • Hands-on, curious, and proactive. They like integrating systems, solving messy data problems, and building automations.
  • I don’t want someone who waits for instructions. I want someone who sees a gap and moves to close it. Organised, self-directed, and good at follow-through.
  • They need to be able to document what they build. They should be comfortable presenting to leadership when needed.

The technical depth required

  • Should be comfortable with REST APIs, Python or PowerShell, data normalization, system integrations, and building queries and dashboards.
  • Experience with Axonius or other asset intelligence platforms is ideal. Must understand how EDR, SIEM, IAM, VM, and cloud security tools fit together.
  • We are a global environment - manufacturing, R&D, cloud, and corporate. Lots of data sources. Lots of complexity.
  • We need someone who likes variety and isn’t intimidated by ambiguity.

The ideal candidate background

  • Someone who has done asset management engineering before - either with an Axonius-type platform or in vulnerability management, EDR engineering, or cloud security engineering with heavy API integration work. Don’t need to know everything on day one, but they must be strong technically, fast learners, and able to own a function end-to-end.

What’s the most important thing

  • Hands-on engineering and the ability to deliver outcomes with autonomy - not just dashboards, but real risk reduction.

If you’re excited about application security, identity management, and creating robust, secure solutions for modern architectures, we want to hear from you!

Please apply with a copy of your CV or send it to Prasanna . merugu @ randstaddigital . com and let’s start the conversation!
