Senior Security Engineer, Detection and Response
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer, Detection and Response to strengthen a mature security operations capability and help protect critical systems, applications, and data. In this role, you will design, implement, and continuously improve detection and response processes across cloud, endpoint, identity, network, and application environments. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, engineering, and risk teams to identify threats, reduce exposure, and improve the organisation’s ability to respond quickly and effectively.
Your responsibilities will include developing and tuning detection logic, correlation rules, alerts, dashboards, and automated response workflows across SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and related security platforms. You will investigate complex security events, lead incident response activities, perform threat hunting, and contribute to root-cause analysis and post-incident improvements. You will also create and maintain playbooks, runbooks, and operational documentation; support vulnerability and exposure management; and translate threat intelligence into practical detection and prevention measures. As a senior technical contributor, you will help establish engineering standards, mentor colleagues, and advocate for secure, measurable, and scalable solutions.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in security engineering, incident detection, threat hunting, or digital forensics, with a strong understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures. You should be comfortable working with SIEM and endpoint security technologies, writing queries and detection rules, analysing logs, and automating repetitive tasks using scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, or similar. Experience with cloud security, identity platforms, infrastructure as code, and security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK or NIST is highly desirable. Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to work calmly during high-severity incidents and influence technical decisions across multiple teams.
