Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking a Security Operations Engineer to support the monitoring, detection and response capabilities of a growing security function. In this role, you will help protect critical systems, applications and data by investigating security events, improving operational processes and working closely with infrastructure, engineering and risk teams. You will contribute to a proactive security culture while helping ensure that incidents are identified, contained and resolved efficiently.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts across SIEM, endpoint protection, identity and network security platforms; triaging and investigating suspected incidents; collecting and analysing relevant logs and evidence; and escalating issues according to established procedures. You will assist with incident response activities, vulnerability management, threat hunting and the development of detection rules and use cases. The role will also involve maintaining accurate case records, preparing operational reports, supporting security assessments and helping test and improve incident response plans. You will be expected to identify recurring issues and recommend practical improvements to controls, tooling and workflows.
Applicants should have experience in a security operations, incident response, systems administration or related technical role, together with a sound understanding of common cyber threats, attack techniques and defensive controls. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, identity services, firewalls, cloud environments and scripting or automation is highly desirable. Knowledge of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or CIS will be beneficial. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise work, document findings clearly and remain calm during time-sensitive incidents. Relevant security certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome. This position may include participation in an on-call or out-of-hours support rota.
