Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking a Security Operations Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications, and data across a complex technology environment. You will monitor and investigate security events, respond to incidents, and support the continuous improvement of operational security controls. Working closely with infrastructure, cloud, development, and risk teams, you will help identify threats, reduce vulnerabilities, and strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture.
Your responsibilities will include triaging alerts from security monitoring platforms, conducting investigations, and coordinating timely containment and remediation activities. You will develop and refine detection rules, playbooks, and response procedures, while contributing to incident reviews and lessons-learned activities. The role will also involve vulnerability management, security control validation, log and telemetry analysis, and supporting the secure configuration of endpoints, networks, cloud services, and identity platforms. You will help maintain accurate documentation, operational metrics, and evidence for audits and compliance requirements. Where appropriate, you may participate in an on-call or out-of-hours support rota.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in a security operations, incident response, infrastructure security, or similar engineering role. You should be comfortable working with SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability scanning, identity and access management, and cloud security technologies. Strong knowledge of networking, operating systems, authentication, common attack techniques, and security frameworks is expected. Experience with scripting or automation, particularly using Python, PowerShell, or similar tools, would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications are welcome but not essential. We are looking for someone analytical, organised, and calm under pressure, with excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
