Incident Response Engineer, UK Security Operations, Hampshire
We are seeking an Incident Response Engineer to join a UK-based Security Operations function in Hampshire. This role will help protect critical systems, services and information by identifying, investigating and responding to cyber security incidents. You will work as part of a collaborative team responsible for monitoring threats, assessing their impact and coordinating effective containment and recovery activities across a complex technical environment.
Your responsibilities will include triaging alerts and reported security events, conducting investigations using security information and event management, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and vulnerability management tools, and analysing logs, malware and other forensic evidence. You will develop clear incident timelines, identify root causes, recommend remediation actions and maintain accurate records in accordance with established procedures. The role will also involve supporting threat hunting, detection engineering, playbook development, security control improvements and post-incident reviews. You may be required to participate in an out-of-hours or on-call rota and provide concise updates to technical and non-technical stakeholders during active incidents.
Applicants should have practical experience in incident response, security operations or a closely related cyber security discipline, with a sound understanding of attack techniques, intrusion analysis, digital forensics and incident management principles. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or equivalent is desirable, along with experience using SIEM, EDR, ticketing and investigative tools. Knowledge of Windows and Linux environments, networking, identity technologies, cloud platforms and scripting—particularly PowerShell or Python—would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication and documentation skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise under pressure, work collaboratively and handle sensitive information responsibly. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable equivalent experience will be welcomed.
