IT SOC Engineer
We are seeking an IT SOC Engineer to support the operation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of a Security Operations Centre. This role will be responsible for identifying, investigating, and responding to security events across networks, endpoints, cloud environments, and business applications. You will work closely with infrastructure, service management, and information security teams to protect systems and data, reduce risk, and maintain a strong security posture.
Key responsibilities include monitoring security alerts and logs using SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management, and other security tools; triaging and investigating suspicious activity; documenting incidents and maintaining accurate case records; and escalating confirmed or high-impact threats in line with established procedures. You will assist with containment, remediation, and recovery activities, contribute to post-incident reviews, and help develop playbooks, detection rules, dashboards, and operational procedures. The role will also involve supporting threat hunting, identifying opportunities to improve alert quality, assisting with security testing, and producing clear technical reports for relevant stakeholders.
Applicants should have practical experience in a SOC, security engineering, incident response, or a similar IT security environment. You will need a sound understanding of networking, operating systems, authentication, email security, common attack techniques, and security event analysis. Experience with SIEM platforms, EDR tools, firewalls, vulnerability scanners, cloud security controls, and scripting or automation would be advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, together with the ability to prioritise work, communicate clearly, and remain calm during incidents. Relevant security certifications or demonstrable equivalent experience are welcomed. This is an opportunity to develop your technical expertise while contributing to a proactive, collaborative, and continually improving security function.
