Senior Security Engineers (2)
Digital Platform · EU-Based · Remote · CET
Outsource Model
The Situation
A digital platform required structured security oversight to support monitoring discipline and vulnerability management across its expanding infrastructure.
The internal engineering team lacked dedicated defensive security capacity but did not intend to establish a full internal security department.
The roles required SIEM familiarity, log analysis discipline, vulnerability scanning processes, and structured reporting practices.
Operational Scope
• Two Nigeria-based senior security engineers
• Defined monitoring and reporting cadence
• Direct coordination with internal technical leadership
• Rolling engagement terms
Engagement Model
The Outsource structure enabled the company to introduce two senior security engineers under a predictable monthly framework without creating a new internal department.
This ensured dedicated monitoring capacity while maintaining organisational simplicity.
Timeline
Week 1–2: Shortlist delivered
Week 3: Interviews and selection
Week 4: Dual onboarding completed
Month 2: Monitoring cycle formalised
Outcome
The platform established consistent security monitoring coverage and predictable reporting routines without expanding permanent headcount.
Oversight became structured and repeatable across review cycles.
Compared to local senior security hiring, the arrangement reduced structural cost exposure by approximately 60% and remained significantly more efficient than comparable offshore senior security engagements.
Key Metrics
Shortlist: 14 days
Onboard: 4 weeks
Hires: 2
Cost vs Local: ~60% lower
