SOC Engineer
We are seeking a SOC Engineer to join a security operations function responsible for protecting critical systems, applications and data. In this role, you will monitor, investigate and respond to security events across a varied technology environment, helping to identify threats and reduce risk. You will work closely with security analysts, infrastructure teams and other technical stakeholders to ensure incidents are managed promptly and effectively.
Your responsibilities will include configuring, maintaining and tuning security monitoring tools, including SIEM, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management and network security platforms. You will develop and refine detection rules, investigate alerts, analyse logs and network traffic, and support the triage, containment and remediation of suspected incidents. You will also contribute to threat hunting, security investigations, incident reporting and post-incident reviews, ensuring that lessons learned are translated into practical improvements. Maintaining accurate documentation, playbooks and operational procedures will be an important part of the role.
The successful candidate will have experience in a SOC, security engineering or incident response environment, together with a strong understanding of security monitoring and common attack techniques. You should be comfortable working with SIEM technologies, log analysis, endpoint security tools and scripting or automation, ideally using Python, PowerShell or a similar language. Knowledge of networking, cloud security, authentication technologies, vulnerability management and recognised security frameworks will be advantageous. Excellent analytical and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment. Relevant industry certifications, such as CompTIA Security+, GIAC, Microsoft security certifications or equivalent experience, would be beneficial. This role may involve participation in an out-of-hours on-call rota.
