Security Engineer, Incident Response
We are seeking a Security Engineer, Incident Response to help protect critical systems, applications, and data from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will investigate security alerts and incidents, coordinate effective containment and remediation, and help strengthen the organisation’s overall detection and response capabilities. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, engineering, application, and business teams to manage incidents from initial triage through recovery and post-incident review.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring and analysing alerts from endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and application security tools; conducting forensic investigations; identifying attack techniques, indicators of compromise, and root causes; and maintaining clear, timely incident documentation. You will develop and improve playbooks, procedures, and automation to increase response speed and consistency. The role will also involve supporting threat hunting, vulnerability remediation, security control validation, tabletop exercises, and lessons-learned activities. You may participate in an on-call rotation and provide clear updates to technical and non-technical stakeholders during high-impact events.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in incident response, security operations, digital forensics, or a closely related discipline, along with a strong understanding of common attack methods, intrusion analysis, and incident lifecycle management. Experience with SIEM, EDR, cloud security, identity platforms, network analysis, scripting, and security automation is highly desirable. You should be comfortable analysing complex technical information, making sound decisions under pressure, and communicating clearly in writing and verbally. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or CIS is beneficial. Relevant certifications in security, incident response, cloud, or digital forensics are welcomed, but practical capability, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous learning are equally valued.
