Senior Cyber Data, Protocol and Network Analysis Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Cyber Data, Protocol and Network Analysis Engineer to lead the analysis of complex cyber data, network activity and communications protocols in support of advanced security operations. You will investigate large and varied datasets, identify anomalous behaviours, uncover indicators of compromise and develop a clear understanding of threats across modern and legacy networks. The role will involve applying deep technical expertise to packet captures, network telemetry, endpoint data, logs and other sources to support detection, investigation and response activities.
Key responsibilities will include designing and refining analytical methods for protocol and network traffic analysis; developing scripts, tools and dashboards to improve data processing and investigative efficiency; researching unfamiliar protocols, services and attack techniques; and correlating information from multiple sources to establish activity, intent and impact. You will produce high-quality technical assessments and explain complex findings to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. You will also contribute to the development of detection logic, analytical standards and repeatable processes, while mentoring colleagues and supporting continuous improvement across cyber analysis capabilities.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security, network analysis, digital forensics, threat intelligence or a closely related discipline, together with strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, DNS, HTTP/S, TLS and common enterprise network architectures. Experience analysing PCAP files and network telemetry using tools such as Wireshark, Zeek or equivalent is highly desirable. You should be confident working with Python or another scripting language, querying structured and unstructured data, and handling high-volume datasets. A methodical approach, strong problem-solving ability and excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential. Experience with cloud environments, malware analysis, intrusion detection systems, reverse engineering or security automation would be advantageous. The successful candidate must be able to manage competing priorities, work collaboratively and maintain high standards of confidentiality and professional judgement.
