Description

Security Analyst Glasgow / Edinburgh (Hybrid)
Outside IR35
Clearance: BPSS required

We are hiring multiple Security Analysts to join a multi-year Quality Assurance transformation programme for a major UK client.

As part of a fast-paced SAFe Agile delivery, this is not a compliance-only role—you will run meaningful resilience tests, validate disaster recovery (DR) and failover readiness, and help prepare for formal Information Assurance (IA) testing and ITHC phases. You’ll contribute directly to reducing platform risk and increasing system integrity.

What you'll do:
Execute security-focused QA tests: failover, backup/restore, DR validation

Support ITHC preparation: test scenarios, evidence generation, documentation

Validate resilience KPIs and maintain live dashboards for risk tracking

Support environment lockdowns, access control testing and risk assessments

Drive traceability of test artefacts and ensure recovery mechanisms are tested and proven

Work closely with NFT, infrastructure and QA governance teams on risk simulations and mitigation planning

What you'll bring:
Experience in QA security and resilience testing across DR, failover and backup

Hands-on experience preparing systems for ITHC and formal security assurance

Ability to simulate risk scenarios and failure modes, not just run scans

Strong knowledge of resilience validation and recovery mechanisms

Ability to collaborate across QA, infrastructure, NFT and governance teams

Excellent documentation of security artefacts and test results

Tech environment:
Must-have:

Test & Reporting: qTest, Jira, Xray, Allure, Confluence

CI/CD & Build: Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD pipelines, Git, Gradle

Security tools:

OWASP ZAP, SonarQube

Burp Suite, SQLMap, Nmap

Snyk, Prometheus

NeoLoad, JMeter, BlazeMeter

Selenium, Playwright, Serenity BDD, Cucumber, Postman, REST Assured
