IT Infrastructure & Cyber Security Engineer - 3rd Line, Cloud & AI
Ready to Own More Than the Ticket Queue?
You've built solid 3rd Line infrastructure experience. You know how to get to the bottom of complex technical problems, understand the importance of security and you're ready for more ownership.
This could be that step.
Join Bulk, one of Europe's leading active nutrition brands, and take ownership across the infrastructure and cyber security environment supporting our fast-moving digital business.
You'll work across cloud, networks, endpoints and security, strengthen our email security, help lead our upcoming Cyber Essentials project and tackle the security challenges that come with our rapidly evolving use of AI.
We're ahead of the curve when it comes to building with AI, so you'll get extensive exposure to new tools, integrations and systems - with the freedom to get involved in other technical projects as the business evolves.
If you're a strong 3rd Line Engineer with cyber security credentials who's ready to broaden your remit and take genuine ownership, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity
As our IT Infrastructure & Cyber Security Engineer, you'll take ownership of Bulk's infrastructure and cyber security environment, supported by our IT Service Desk Team Lead and wider team.
This is a broad, hands-on technical role with some clear priorities.
You'll help upgrade our email security, manage the security aspects of AI integration and take a leading role in our Cyber Essentials project next year.
You'll also oversee infrastructure, security tooling, incident response, budgeting and contracting, while becoming a Tier 3 escalation point for complex issues that need deeper technical expertise.

We're looking for someone with strong infrastructure foundations and genuine cyber security capability who can demonstrate experience across roughly 80% of our technical environment, with the curiosity and ability to pick up the rest.
About You
You're probably already operating at strong 3rd Line Engineer level and looking for the opportunity to take broader ownership across infrastructure and cyber security.
You enjoy getting hands-on with technology, but you're also interested in the bigger picture - resilience, security, risk, projects and how technology can enable the business to move faster.
You don't need to tick every technology box. Breadth, strong foundations and the ability to learn matter here.
You'll likely bring:
• Around 2-3 years' experience in a similar role, operating at 3rd Line Engineer level or equivalent.
• At least one cyber security certification.
• Hands-on experience across approximately 80% of the technologies and environments outlined within this advert.
• Strong infrastructure experience spanning cloud and on-premise environments.
• Good working knowledge of Azure, Google Workspace, networking, endpoint management and security.
• Experience across technologies such as CrowdStrike, Cisco, VMware vSphere, Windows Server, Mac/Windows, Jamf, Intune, Automox and VPNs.
• Strong security monitoring, incident response and threat-analysis knowledge, including IOC investigation and remediation.
• Experience or knowledge of security frameworks and compliance, ideally including Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001.
• The confidence and technical capability to handle complex Tier 3 escalations.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to improving infrastructure and security.
• Willingness to undertake occasional out-of-hours work and travel to London.
Even Better If You Bring
• Hands-on experience administering AI coding or agent tools, including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or Codex.
• Experience configuring MCP servers, connectors, permissions and access controls.
• Familiarity with emerging agentic AI infrastructure and its associated security considerations.
• Experience working with Netskope.
• Hands-on Netskope CASB/SSE experience covering areas such as SSL/TLS inspection, DLP, Zero Trust architecture, CASB policy design and SCIM-based provisioning.
• ITIL or project management certification such as PRINCE2.
• Additional cyber security certifications such as CISSP, CISM or CompTIA.
