Senior Security Engineer - Detection & Response

Reference: sj3b4lyjephq3ulur528

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer – Detection & Response to strengthen and evolve our security operations capability. In this role, you will design, implement and maintain detection and response systems that identify, investigate and contain threats across cloud, endpoint, identity, network and application environments. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, engineering and risk teams to improve visibility, reduce response times and support the continuous improvement of the organisation’s security posture.

Your responsibilities will include developing and tuning detection rules, analytic queries, dashboards and automated response workflows; investigating complex security alerts and incidents; leading technical response activities and coordinating remediation; and conducting proactive threat hunting based on current intelligence and emerging attack techniques. You will perform root-cause analysis, document findings and create clear incident reports, playbooks and operational procedures. You will also contribute to security engineering projects, evaluate new monitoring and response technologies, and help establish meaningful metrics for detection coverage, alert quality and incident response performance.

The successful candidate will bring significant experience in security engineering, incident response, threat detection or a closely related discipline, together with strong knowledge of SIEM, EDR, SOAR and cloud security technologies. You should be confident working with scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash, and be comfortable analysing logs, network traffic, endpoint telemetry and identity events. Experience with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, incident response methodologies and threat intelligence is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications are advantageous. We are looking for an analytical and collaborative practitioner who can communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, operate effectively during high-pressure incidents and promote practical, resilient security solutions.
