An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a full‑time Cyber Security AI

Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) funded programme that is making the Cardiff
Capital Region a centre of cyber businesses. CIH does this through increasing
cyber security‑based start-ups in the region, providing a skills programme
targeted at continuing professional development in line with local industry
needs, and the provision of representative cyber security and AI testbeds.
Working as part of a team, the Cyber Security AI Engineer will design,
implement and maintain secure systems and AI testbed environments, support the
development and validation of innovative security solutions, and contribute
technical expertise to CIH projects. The role will involve assessing and
mitigating cyber risks, conducting security testing, and ensuring that CIH

standards. Your work will directly support CIH’s mission by strengthening the
technical foundations of the programme, enabling safer innovation, and
contributing to outcomes that deliver economic benefit for Wales (including
training, job creation and new commercial opportunities).
You will be responsible for supporting the existing IT/OT
team of engineers in developing secure system architectures, implementing
robust cyber‑security controls, and maintaining resilient infrastructure across
operational and enterprise environments. You will contribute to designing,
testing, and deploying security solutions, monitoring threats, responding to
incidents, and ensuring compliance with best‑practice security standards. Your
work will help strengthen the organisation’s security posture while enabling
safe innovation and reliable system performance.
This role is eligible to be offered on a blended working
basis, meaning that as well as spending time working at SPARK /

choose to spend some time working from another location, e.g. your home.
Discussions around these arrangements can take place after the successful
candidate has been appointed. The University is committed to offering this

balance.
This position is full time (35 hours per week) and fixed-term until 31 July 2027 and available immediately.
