SOC Lead Technical Engineer
We are seeking a SOC Lead Technical Engineer to provide technical leadership within a Security Operations Centre and help strengthen the organisation’s capability to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats. This role will lead the engineering and continuous improvement of security monitoring platforms, operational tooling, detection content, and incident response processes. You will work closely with security analysts, infrastructure teams, application owners, and other technical stakeholders to ensure effective protection across cloud, on-premises, endpoint, network, and identity environments.
Key responsibilities include designing, implementing, and maintaining SIEM, SOAR, EDR, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and security monitoring solutions. You will develop and tune detection rules, use cases, dashboards, alerts, and automated response workflows to improve accuracy and reduce noise. The role will also involve leading investigations into complex or high-severity incidents, supporting threat hunting activities, conducting root-cause analysis, and translating emerging threats into practical security controls. You will establish engineering standards, document technical procedures, contribute to incident response playbooks, and support the delivery of security improvement initiatives. As a technical lead, you will mentor team members, coordinate workloads, review technical designs, and promote consistent operational practices.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a SOC, cyber defence, security engineering, or incident response environment, with a strong understanding of SIEM architecture, detection engineering, log management, and security operations processes. Experience with cloud security, identity technologies, scripting or automation, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK will be highly beneficial. You should be confident analysing complex technical data, managing priorities during incidents, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional certifications and experience leading technical projects or engineering teams are desirable. This is an opportunity to shape a mature security capability while playing a central role in protecting critical systems and information.
