Security Engineer (Detection & Response)
We are seeking a Security Engineer (Detection & Response) to strengthen our ability to identify, investigate, and contain cyber threats across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement, and continuously improve security monitoring and detection capabilities across cloud, endpoint, network, identity, and application platforms. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, engineering, and risk teams to reduce exposure, improve visibility, and support a resilient security posture.
Your responsibilities will include developing and tuning detection rules, analytics, and alerting logic within SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and related security platforms. You will investigate suspicious activity, conduct threat hunting, validate indicators of compromise, and coordinate incident response from initial triage through containment, eradication, and recovery. You will contribute to post-incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and the development of practical recommendations to prevent recurrence. The role will also involve creating and maintaining playbooks, automating repetitive response actions, improving security telemetry, and communicating technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You may participate in an on-call or incident response rota as required.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in security engineering, detection engineering, incident response, or a closely related discipline. You should have hands-on knowledge of network and endpoint security, authentication and access controls, cloud environments, log analysis, and common attack techniques. Experience with query languages, scripting or automation, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK is highly desirable. You will be analytical, methodical, and comfortable working in high-pressure situations while maintaining sound judgement and accurate documentation. Relevant industry certifications, such as GIAC, CISSP, or equivalent practical experience, are beneficial. We value curiosity, clear communication, continuous learning, and a collaborative approach to solving complex security problems.
