Senior Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Security Operations Engineer to lead the monitoring, investigation and improvement of a modern security operations environment. You will play a key role in detecting and responding to cyber threats, protecting critical systems and data, and strengthening operational resilience. The position will involve working closely with infrastructure, cloud, software engineering and risk teams to ensure security controls are effective, measurable and aligned with business requirements.
Responsibilities will include managing and tuning security monitoring tools, SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response technologies, vulnerability management solutions and related security services. You will investigate and triage alerts, coordinate incident response activities, conduct root-cause analysis and support the development of playbooks, detection rules and threat-hunting capabilities. You will also contribute to security investigations, forensic reviews, control testing, audit preparation and the continuous improvement of operational processes. The role will require participation in an on-call or out-of-hours response rota and may involve mentoring engineers and providing technical guidance across the wider technology function.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security operations, incident response or security engineering role, with a strong understanding of network, endpoint, identity and cloud security. Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management and security automation technologies is essential, along with the ability to analyse logs, investigate suspicious activity and communicate technical findings clearly. Knowledge of threat intelligence frameworks, common attack techniques, secure configuration standards and relevant security legislation or industry frameworks would be advantageous. Professional security certifications or equivalent experience are desirable. You should be analytical, methodical and comfortable working under pressure, with strong collaboration skills and a proactive approach to identifying and reducing risk.
