Cyber Security Engineer - Threat Detection
We are seeking a Cyber Security Engineer specialising in Threat Detection to help protect critical systems, applications and data from evolving cyber threats. You will join a security-focused team responsible for improving detection capabilities, investigating suspicious activity and supporting the ongoing development of a resilient security monitoring function. This role is suited to an analytical security professional who enjoys working across technology, operations and incident response.
Your responsibilities will include designing, developing and tuning detection rules, alerts and use cases across SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and cloud security platforms. You will monitor security events, investigate potential threats, conduct triage and analysis, and support incident response activities from initial identification through to containment and remediation. You will also perform threat hunting, analyse indicators of compromise, correlate activity across multiple data sources and contribute to the creation of incident reports and actionable intelligence.
You will work with engineering and operational teams to improve logging, telemetry, alert quality and security controls. The role will involve documenting detection logic, maintaining playbooks, identifying opportunities for automation and helping to reduce false positives while ensuring meaningful threats are identified quickly. You should have practical experience in cyber security operations, threat detection, incident investigation or a related discipline, together with knowledge of common attack techniques and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. Experience with scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell, query languages, cloud environments and security monitoring tools is desirable. Strong problem-solving, communication and documentation skills are essential, along with a methodical approach and the ability to work effectively under pressure. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent hands-on experience will be valued.
