Senior SOC Engineer
We are seeking a Senior SOC Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications and data within a fast-paced security operations environment. You will provide technical leadership across monitoring, detection and response activities, helping to strengthen security capabilities and improve the organisation’s resilience against evolving threats. This role is suited to an experienced security professional who can work confidently across operational, engineering and stakeholder-facing responsibilities.
Your responsibilities will include designing, developing and tuning security monitoring and detection use cases across SIEM, EDR, NDR and other security platforms. You will investigate complex alerts and incidents, lead or support incident response activities, perform threat hunting and contribute to root-cause analysis and post-incident improvements. You will also develop automation and orchestration workflows, improve SOC processes and playbooks, and ensure appropriate logging, alerting and response coverage across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. The role will involve mentoring less experienced analysts, collaborating with infrastructure and engineering teams, and communicating risks and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations, detection engineering or incident response role, with strong knowledge of SIEM technologies, endpoint security, network monitoring and security automation. Hands-on experience with platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender or comparable technologies is desirable. You should be comfortable using scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell and have a good understanding of cloud security, identity and access management, networking, operating systems and common attack techniques. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, GIAC, GCIH, GCIA, AZ-500 or equivalent experience would be advantageous. Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise effectively and remain calm during high-severity incidents.
