Client introduction
Our client is a well-established international financial institution with a strong, growing presence across Asia, investing seriously into cyber resilience and expanding their regional security engineering team.
This is not a pure network operations role. It sits within security engineering and covers the deployment, administration, testing, and ongoing operation of security controls across network, infrastructure, identity, cloud, hardening, and other enterprise security domains. Permanent, Singapore-based, with two levels open depending on experience.
It suits someone who enjoys the hands-on side of cybersecurity but also wants real exposure to regional projects, senior stakeholders, vendors, and regulatory-driven standards.
Job responsibilities
You'll strengthen the organisation's security posture by implementing and improving controls across infrastructure, applications, and regional technology environments. Expect to:
- Take hands-on ownership of security product delivery and administration - turning requirements into working implementations across configuration, testing, deployment, handover, and ongoing tuning.
- Support or lead regional security projects, depending on seniority, including rollout, vendor coordination, stakeholder management, documentation, and progress tracking.
- Administer and continuously tune deployed security products - policy refinement, exception handling, upgrades, and integration with adjacent controls.
- Build and execute remediation plans for identified gaps, making sure fixes sit cleanly within the existing environment.
- Investigate security issues and recommend practical ways to reduce risk.
- Produce clear technical documentation - design notes, implementation guides, runbooks, configuration records, test evidence, and operational handover documents - and support audits and regulatory reviews with it.
Job requirements
As a successful candidate, you will need:
- Genuine hands-on experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, or network/infrastructure security - with real implementation or control deployment behind you, not oversight alone.
- Experience taking a security product through its full lifecycle - from deployment and integration through to ongoing administration, tuning, and upgrades.
- A solid grasp of network infrastructure, security architecture, traffic flow, segmentation, firewalls, and identity controls.
- Practical exposure across some of: firewall policy management, micro-segmentation, privileged access management, vulnerability validation, security hardening, DLP, cloud security, or zero trust.
- The ability to explain a solution clearly - approach, test cases, deployment risks, remediation, and post-implementation considerations - to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
- Strong stakeholder skills across vendors, infrastructure, risk, audit, and regional teams.
- Banking or financial services experience is an advantage; strong candidates from large, complex enterprises will also be considered.
- AVP: 6+ years experience (3+ in cybersecurity). VP: 10+ years (7+ in cybersecurity).
- CISSP, CISM, or CRISC useful but not mandatory.
Why you should join them
This is a chance to step beyond narrow security operations or pure policy work and get close to real implementation inside a complex financial-services environment. You'll get a broad remit across multiple modern security domains rather than a single-tool role, regional scope, and enterprise-scale exposure. With two levels open, the role flexes to your experience - and for anyone building toward security architecture, cyber resilience, or security leadership, it's a genuine platform inside a reputable, stable institution that's investing seriously in this space.
