Principal Software Engineer - Data Visualisation / Dashboard Development Edinburgh, UK | Fully Remote (UK-based) Engineering | Cyber Security £95,000 & Benefits Ever wanted your dashboards to actually defend the internet? This role does exactly that. We are recruiting on behalf of a high-growth cyber security technology company that protects some of the world’s most critical online services from large-scale DDoS and application attacks.

You’ll set technical direction, mentor engineers, and build analytics that help customers instantly understand and stop complex cyber attacks. You’ll be trusted to work from first principles, influence architecture, and make decisions that genuinely matter. What You’ll Be Doing • Leading a small, highly skilled team focused on network & security analytics • Designing and building advanced Grafana dashboards running in Kubernetes • Turning complex data into clear, insightful visualisations • Developing and reviewing complex queries (Grafana, Splunk, Python) • Mentoring engineers and shaping technical best practice • Balancing hands‑on development with technical leadership and ownership What We’re Looking For Essential • Strong experience building dashboards and analytics in Python and ideally Grafana • Proven background leading engineers in an agile environment • Solid understanding of Linux and AWS • Excellent communication skills — you can explain complex ideas simply • A strong technical degree (Computer Science, Maths, Statistics, Engineering, or similar) Nice to Have • Knowledge of networking protocols and how the internet actually works • Experience with Splunk & SPL • SQL or similar data manipulation skills • Exposure to network security products • HTML, CSS, JavaScript • Data Science or Machine Learning experience Location & Flexibility • Edinburgh-based engineers: hybrid working (typically 2 days in office) • Fully remote options available for the right candidate • Cutting-edge tech, complex data, and meaningful problems • A culture that values ownership, curiosity, and smart engineering If you’re a senior/principal engineer who loves data, networks, and building things that actually matter — this one’s worth a conversation.
