SOC Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced SOC Security Architect to design, develop and continuously improve the security architecture supporting a modern Security Operations Centre. In this role, you will define the technical vision for monitoring, detection and response capabilities across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, network, application and risk teams to ensure that security controls are effective, scalable and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.
Your responsibilities will include designing and maintaining SOC reference architectures, developing security monitoring and detection strategies, and supporting the selection and integration of SIEM, SOAR, EDR, vulnerability management and threat intelligence technologies. You will establish standards for log collection, data quality, alert engineering, incident escalation and automation. The role will also involve reviewing existing security capabilities, identifying gaps, leading architecture reviews, producing technical documentation and contributing to the development of operating models and roadmaps. You will provide technical leadership during complex incidents, advise on emerging threats and technologies, and promote secure-by-design principles across technology initiatives.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in security architecture, SOC engineering or cyber defence, with a strong understanding of security monitoring and incident response processes. Practical experience with SIEM and SOAR platforms, cloud security, endpoint protection, network security, identity services and security automation is essential. You should be comfortable translating business and risk requirements into practical technical solutions and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, GIAC, CCSP or equivalent are desirable. Strong analytical, problem-solving and documentation skills are required, along with the ability to influence, collaborate and deliver in a complex, rapidly changing environment.
