Cyber Defense Engineer
We are seeking a Cyber Defense Engineer to help protect critical systems, networks, applications, and data from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will monitor security events, investigate suspicious activity, and coordinate timely responses to incidents across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. You will work closely with infrastructure, software development, and risk teams to strengthen defensive capabilities and reduce the organisation’s overall attack surface.
Your responsibilities will include analysing alerts from security information and event management platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, firewalls, identity systems, and other security technologies. You will perform threat hunting, support digital forensics, develop and maintain detection rules, and contribute to incident response playbooks. The role will also involve vulnerability assessment, security control validation, log and telemetry improvement, malware or phishing investigations, and preparation of clear technical reports for relevant stakeholders. You will help identify recurring weaknesses and recommend practical improvements to security architecture, processes, and controls.
Applicants should have professional experience in cyber defence, security operations, incident response, or a related technical discipline. Strong knowledge of networking, operating systems, identity and access management, common attack techniques, and security monitoring principles is required. Experience with SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, scripting, cloud security, and threat intelligence platforms is highly desirable. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or ISO 27001 would be beneficial. Relevant certifications, such as Security+, GCIH, GCIA, CISSP, or equivalent experience, are welcomed. You should be analytical, methodical, and comfortable working under pressure, with the communication skills to explain technical risks clearly and collaborate effectively across teams.
