Staff Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking a Staff Security Operations Engineer to provide technical leadership across security monitoring, detection, incident response, and operational resilience. You will help design and mature security operations capabilities, ensuring that threats are identified, investigated, and contained effectively across cloud, corporate, and production environments. This is a senior individual contributor role requiring strong engineering judgement, a hands-on approach, and the ability to influence security and technology teams.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining detection and response capabilities across SIEM, EDR, identity, network, and cloud security platforms; creating high-quality detection logic, alert triage processes, and investigation playbooks; and leading the response to complex security incidents. You will conduct threat hunting, analyse attacker behaviour, improve security telemetry and logging, and identify opportunities to automate repetitive operational tasks. You will also contribute to incident readiness through tabletop exercises, post-incident reviews, and the continuous improvement of procedures, controls, and service reliability.
You should have substantial experience in security operations, detection engineering, incident response, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern attack techniques and defensive architectures. Experience with SIEM and EDR technologies, cloud platforms, scripting or software development, and infrastructure or security-as-code practices is highly desirable. You will be comfortable analysing complex events, communicating risk to both technical and non-technical audiences, and working collaboratively across engineering, IT, risk, and compliance functions. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound prioritisation, clear documentation, curiosity, and a commitment to building scalable, measurable, and practical security operations.
