Skills
About This Role
Overview
- DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy with extensive experience implementing intelligent enterprise systems across multiple industries, with particular depth in financial services and banking.
- Our team combines deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex business operations.
- DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy dedicated to transforming the regional corporate landscape through bespoke, high-impact intelligent systems.
- Based in the UAE, we partner with organizations across diverse sectors—with a deep-rooted expertise in Financial Services and Banking—to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable business strategy.
- At DeepLight, we don't believe in "off-the-shelf" fixes.
- We deliver tailored AI solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into existing enterprise architectures, ensuring that innovation is both scalable and secure.
- From building robust data foundations to deploying sophisticated AI platforms, we empower our clients to lead in an increasingly automated world.
- The Senior Manager - Cyber Security Engineers is a senior delivery and people leadership position within Deeplight consultancy, embedded directly within a major banking client. The role is responsible for directing engineering squads, managing technical resource allocation, and overseeing the execution of enterprise-grade security tools and infrastructure. Serving as a critical link between high-level security architecture and hands-on deployment, this position requires a balance of strong team leadership, robust delivery management, and deep familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks to ensure the bank's defensive systems are built to the highest institutional standards.
- Your responsibilities in this role include:
- Engineering Leadership: Directly manage cross-functional squads of security engineers, providing technical guidance, setting performance targets, and conducting regular career development reviews
- Delivery Management: Own the technical execution lifecycle for all cybersecurity engineering projects, overseeing sprint planning, milestone tracking, resource capacity, and dependency management
- Security Implementation: Supervise the deployment, configuration, and integration of core security technologies (e.g., IAM, network security, endpoint protection, and cloud security controls) across the bank's architecture
- Framework Alignment: Ensure all engineering outputs and system implementations strictly align with the bank's corporate policies, risk appetite, and selected cybersecurity frameworks
- Stakeholder Coordination: Act as the primary operational liaison between engineering teams, senior leadership, risk officers, and external client stakeholders to report on project velocity and technical risk blocks
- Strategic Excellence: Represent Deeplight by modeling senior-level accountability, engineering discipline, and professional delivery standards across all project workstreams
- Coaching and Management
- Senior leaders at DeepLight AI are responsible for delivering results and developing people.
- Utilising coaching skills to encourage and support growth whilst balancing the requirement for excellence in results.
Coaching
- Growing future leaders through mentorship and feedback
- Empowering your teams to think independently and learn continuously
- Fostering a culture of curiosity, reflection, and resilience
Management
- Aligning strategy with execution and ensuring delivery excellence
- Setting clear goals and objectives, driving accountability, and supporting performance
- Leading with transparency, integrity, and trust
- *As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.
- While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.
- We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.
- You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.
- If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.*
Requirements
- For this role, we need you to have:
- A proven capability to lead, motivate, and upscale highly technical engineering personnel in a high-pressure corporate environment
- Advanced proficiency in Agile/Scrum or waterfall project management methodologies, utilizing enterprise delivery tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps) to optimize team velocity
- Practical understanding of applying enterprise security control frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Benchmarks) to infrastructure deployments
- Ability to manage capacity planning, resolve resource constraints, and balance technical debt against aggressive business delivery timelines
- Capacity to synthesize complex technical engineering problems into clear roadmap updates and operational risk summaries for senior leadership
- A minimum of 8 years in cybersecurity or infrastructure engineering, with at least 3 years in a formal team management or delivery lead role
- Documented experience leading engineering delivery or managing technical infrastructure within a regulated tier-1 or tier-2 banking institution
- Prior experience in a client-facing professional services or consultancy capacity, managing delivery timelines, statement of work (SOW) compliance, and client stakeholder relationships
- Work history demonstrating successful oversight of large-scale cybersecurity product rollouts or complex environment migrations
- It would also be great if you have:
- Professional Certifications: Relevant management or technical credentials such as CISSP, CISM, PMP, Agile/Scrum certifications (e.g., CSM, Safe), or cloud security certifications
- DevSecOps Familiarity: Conceptual or hands-on experience with modern CI/CD security pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) governance
- Budget Management: Experience tracking operational expenditure (OpEx) and capital expenditure (CapEx) for technical tooling and headcount allocation
Benefits
- The benefits you'll enjoy as part of this role include:
- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive personal health insurance
- Visa Sponsorship for the successful individual
- Professional development and certification support
- Subscription reimbursement relating to your role
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects
- Monthly Employee Incentive program
- Career advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company
- *This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI implementation while working with a talented team of professionals at the forefront of technological innovation.
- The successful candidate will play a crucial role in driving our company's success in delivering transformative AI solutions to our clients.
- At DeepLight AI, we recognise that diversity drives innovation.
- We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals with different thinking styles can thrive and contribute their unique strengths to our specialised AI and data solutions.*
- *Our goal is to ensure our application and interview process is accessible, predictable, and fair for all candidates.*
