This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll design, build, and continuously improve the technologies that power a high-performing SOC. You’ll work across SIEM, XDR, SOAR, and automation tooling—developing scalable solutions that enhance detection and response capabilities.

You’ll also contribute to shaping the SOC’s future direction, working closely with leadership while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating across teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

Engineering & Build

• Design and implement SIEM, XDR, and SOAR platforms
• Develop automation, orchestration workflows, and response playbooks
• Build custom integrations, scripts, and log parsing pipelines
• Ensure high-quality telemetry through data normalisation and ingestion strategies

Operations & Investigation

• Act as an escalation point for complex security engineering issues
• Support onboarding of new environments and customers into SOC platforms
• Contribute to internal documentation, standards, and deployment guides

Continuous Improvement

• Drive automation and efficiency across SOC processes
• Enhance detection and response using threat intelligence and lessons learned
• Support the evolution of SOC engineering maturity and capabilities

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in SOC engineering within a security operations environment
• Deep expertise in SIEM architecture and deployment
• Hands-on experience with SOAR platforms and automation development
• Solid knowledge of EDR/XDR technologies
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Scripting skills (Python, Go, or similar)
• Familiarity with log ingestion, parsing, and data normalisation

Desirable experience:

• Vulnerability management tooling
• Cyber threat intelligence ingestion (e.g., STIX/TAXII)
• Eligibility for UK security clearance
