About the role
At Deciphex, we’re on a mission to transform pathology with AI. Our teams span labs, offices and home setups across Ireland, the UK, EU and USA – and as we scale fast, our internal security needs to move even faster. That’s where you come in.

This isn’t a role where you’re buried in routine. It’s hands-on, high-impact work across the full spectrum of cyber security.

You’ll be the person spotting risks, building improvements from scratch, enhancing what’s already there, and keeping pace with the constant shift of the cyber security landscape.

For you it’s an opportunity to shape the DNA of Cyber Security for our internal IT infrastructure – protecting our people, systems and data across regions. This includes Deciphex and our groups Patholytix and Diagnexia.

Why this role matters

Tangible impact: Your work secures the internal cyber security foundation that lets us deliver life-changing outcomes for patients.

Career Development: This is your opportunity to step in and own an internal Cyber Security arena.

Apply technical skills: Identify, design, plan and implement real changes. You’re delivering impactful change, not just making recommendations.

Autonomy: If you see something that can be better, you’re the one making things happen.

Complexity at pace: You’ll work across multiple parallel internal cyber security projects, from tightening access controls to building secure cloud environments.

Real autonomy: You create the roadmap, roll it out, and see the impact. Constant learning – fast growth and technical variety means you’ll always be sharpening your skills.
