Job Description

At Viaplay Group, we entertain millions of people every day through our streaming services, radio networks, and TV channels. We believe in the power of content not just as a way of telling stories and touching lives, but also expanding worlds.  

We’re looking for the best people to join us on our journey. Right now, we’re searching for a Security Engineer in our Stockholm office – are you ready to hit play on an exciting career change? 

The Role 

We are seeking an experienced Security Engineer to join our IT Workplace team, working as a core team member with shared responsibility and close, hands‑on collaboration across all areas of IT. You will support security operations, governance, and compliance within an outsourced, Microsoft‑based hybrid IT environment.

The role is responsible for protecting the organisation against cyber threats and embedding security best practices across the Group. You will work closely with colleagues and an outsourced IT partner to deliver effective and pragmatic security outcomes.

You will act as a technical lead for security operations, incident response, and security tooling, working collaboratively rather than in isolation, and ensuring security is integrated into day‑to‑day IT operations and change initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a security lead for IT modernisation and improvement initiatives

• Work with the SOC partner to monitor, investigate, and respond to security alerts and incidents across cloud, on‑premises, and SaaS environments

• Act as the technical escalation point for high‑priority security incidents, coordinating containment, remediation, and recovery activities

• Perform root cause analysis and post‑incident reviews, communicating risks and outcomes to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Administer and operate security tooling, primarily Microsoft Purview, Defender, and Entra

• Design and manage the implementation of Zero Trust controls utilising Conditional Access, PIM, RBAC, and identity governance

• Maintain and improve security policies, ensuring alignment with recognised standards and regulatory requirements such as ISO 27001 and NIS2

• Support vulnerability management activities, audits, penetration testing, and third‑party risk assessments

• Produce incident, threat, and compliance reporting for stakeholders

• Drive continuous improvement of security controls, tooling, and processes

What we’re looking for 

We understand you may feel confident ticking certain boxes more than others and that’s why we always keep an open mind in our recruitment process. But, in order to thrive in this role, we do believe you’ll have at least some experience in the following: 

• 5+ years’ experience in cybersecurity or security operations roles

• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Purview, Defender, Entra, and vulnerability and threat management tools.

• Experience working with outsourced IT services and SOC partners

• Microsoft security certifications and other industry‑recognised cybersecurity certifications are highly desirable

• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills, with the ability to produce clear technical and non‑technical documentation

• Relevant education in IT, cybersecurity, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience

What we offer you

• We’ve got you covered! 30 days of paid vacation every year, an attractive pension and insurance scheme, and generous parental leave pay lift.

• Your wellbeing matters. We provide you with various wellbeing initiatives including wellness allowance.

• A safe space to grow and up-skill. Our learning culture puts you in the driver’s seat of your own development.

• An innovative environment with Hack Days once a year. This week-long initiative allows you to think outside the box and deliver creative, technical solutions that (more often than not) go on to be implemented, either in our product or our ways of working.

• Entertainment is what we love, and entertainment is what we do. So, unlimited access to Viaplay seems only fair for you to get to know the product – including serier & viewing events, new release movie rentals, linear channels and more.
