Senior Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security Operations Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications, and data across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will provide technical leadership within the security operations function, oversee the detection and response to cyber threats, and strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture. You will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, development, and risk teams to identify vulnerabilities, improve controls, and ensure that security is embedded into day-to-day operations.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security alerts, leading incident response activities, and coordinating containment, eradication, and recovery efforts. You will develop and tune detection rules, use SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, and security automation tools, and contribute to threat hunting and intelligence-led investigations. You will also support forensic analysis, maintain accurate incident records, and produce clear technical reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role will involve reviewing security events and operational processes, identifying opportunities for automation, and helping to establish playbooks, standards, and measurable service improvements.
Applicants should have significant experience in security operations, incident response, or a closely related engineering role, with a strong understanding of network, endpoint, identity, cloud, and application security. Practical experience with SIEM and EDR platforms, detection engineering, vulnerability assessment, scripting, and security monitoring is essential. Knowledge of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or ISO 27001 would be advantageous. You should be comfortable working with ambiguity, prioritising multiple incidents, and communicating complex risks clearly. Relevant professional certifications and experience mentoring colleagues are desirable. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by improving resilience, advancing operational maturity, and helping create a proactive, intelligence-driven security capability.
