Lead Security Operations Engineer

Reference: cus5tqdzlr0579eoriix

We are seeking a Lead Security Operations Engineer to provide technical leadership across security monitoring, incident response, threat detection, and operational resilience. You will lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of security operations capabilities, ensuring that critical systems, networks, cloud environments, and applications are monitored effectively and protected against evolving threats. Working closely with infrastructure, engineering, risk, and compliance teams, you will translate security requirements into practical controls and measurable operational outcomes.

Key responsibilities include leading the triage, investigation, and response to security incidents; improving detection logic, alert quality, and security use cases across SIEM, SOAR, EDR, vulnerability management, and related platforms; and coordinating threat hunting activities based on current intelligence and observed attack patterns. You will establish and maintain incident response procedures, playbooks, escalation paths, and service performance metrics. The role will also involve mentoring security engineers and analysts, supporting technical delivery, reviewing operational processes, and contributing to security architecture and automation initiatives. You will help assess emerging technologies, identify control gaps, and provide clear reports and recommendations to technical and senior stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security operations, incident response, detection engineering, or a closely related discipline, including experience leading technical teams or complex security initiatives. Strong knowledge of security monitoring principles, networking, identity and access management, endpoint security, cloud platforms, vulnerability management, and common attack techniques is essential. Experience with SIEM and automation tooling, scripting in languages such as Python or PowerShell, and recognised security frameworks including MITRE ATT&CK and NIST is highly desirable. You should be analytical, decisive, and able to communicate complex issues clearly while remaining calm during high-impact incidents. Relevant professional certifications and experience operating in regulated or enterprise environments would be advantageous.
