We’re looking for a Security Engineer to join Distology Engineering — a focused technical team working across cybersecurity and AI. The role gives you experience across the full lifecycle of our activities in the IT channel, from presales through to implementation.
In presales, you’ll gain exposure to some of the most interesting technologies in the field. It’s about knowledge sharing, enablement, and workstreams such as PoVs and RFPs.
On the delivery side, you’ll collaborate with partners and vendors on projects and deployments. These are the workstreams where you gain hands-on experience and practitioner credibility that feeds into vendor and partner conversations.
Your engineering team colleagues bring their own specialisms — some aligned with specific products in our portfolio, others with deep expertise in areas like custom development and AI engineering — so there’s always somebody with the right depth to lean on. The role is flexible enough for you to choose the specialisms that resonate for you as well as benefit the company.
Cybersecurity is a broad landscape and we don’t expect anyone on the team to know everything. We’ll cycle and review your areas of focus periodically so that you have a healthy professional development and learning curve, and we’ll decide as a team how we organise ourselves, what we train or certify on and when we bring in external collaborators.
About Distology
Distology is a specialist cybersecurity distributor with a reputation for finding and backing the vendors that matter — before the market catches up. We work with a carefully selected portfolio of security innovators across identity, AI, network security, OT/ICS, and cloud — and we bring them to market through a trusted network of channel partners across the UK and Europe.
We’re not a broad-line distributor. We’re selective, technical, and vendor committed. That means the people who represent our portfolio need to genuinely believe in it — and be able to articulate why it wins.
Run discovery and Design workshops, provide security posture assessments, configuration reviews, and recommendations on existing deployments
Your hands-on experience can also apply to Distology’s own security posture, working with our IT partner on IAM, compliance, data, endpoint and network security.
You’ll have at least five years in a technical role within IT or cybersecurity, with meaningful hands-on experience across pre-sales and delivery. Beyond the CV, we’re looking for someone who is genuinely excited by emerging cybersecurity technology — someone who follows the vendor landscape, has opinions about it, and is equally happy talking to a MSP or configuring an identity platform.
We don’t expect a perfect match against every bullet below — the engineering team between us covers a lot of ground, and we’re looking for someone who can contribute meaningfully across the full channel lifecycle.
Strong grounding in cybersecurity concepts — exposure management, identity, network security, cloud security, endpoint

You’ll have direct access to vendor leadership, early sight of technologies before they reach the mainstream market, and a team that takes the technical side of the business seriously across the full channel lifecycle. You’ll be embedded within Distology Engineering — a focused technical team working across cybersecurity and AI — and you’ll have the chance to sharpen your craft on our own environment as well as our partners’.
If you want a role where your technical credibility is your currency — and where the full lifecycle of channel activities is yours to learn rather than carved into.
