Security Analytics Engineer
We are seeking a Security Analytics Engineer to design, develop and maintain analytical capabilities that identify, investigate and help prevent cyber threats. You will work across security operations, engineering and risk teams to turn complex data into actionable intelligence, strengthen detection coverage and improve the organisation’s ability to respond to emerging threats. This role is suited to an analytical and technically curious professional who enjoys solving complex problems and working in a continuously evolving security environment.
Your responsibilities will include developing and tuning detections, alerts, dashboards and investigative queries across security information and event management, endpoint, identity, cloud and network data sources. You will analyse security events, investigate suspicious activity, identify attack patterns and contribute to incident response and threat-hunting activities. You will also maintain data quality and analytics pipelines, document use cases and investigative procedures, reduce false positives, and measure the effectiveness of detection controls. Working with stakeholders, you will translate business and technical risks into practical analytics solutions and contribute to automation that improves operational efficiency.
Applicants should have professional experience in security analytics, threat detection, security engineering, incident response or a related discipline. Strong skills in query languages such as KQL, SPL, SQL or equivalent are required, along with experience working with SIEM platforms and security telemetry. Familiarity with Python or another scripting language, cloud security, endpoint technologies, identity systems and common attack frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK would be advantageous. You should be comfortable interpreting large datasets, communicating findings clearly and collaborating with both technical and non-technical colleagues. A methodical approach, strong attention to detail, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
