IT Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking an IT Security Operations Engineer to help protect critical systems, data and services from evolving cyber threats. This role will support the day-to-day operation, monitoring and continuous improvement of security technologies, while working closely with infrastructure, engineering and service teams to maintain a strong and resilient security posture.
You will monitor security alerts and events, investigate suspicious activity and coordinate appropriate responses to incidents. Responsibilities will include analysing logs, identifying indicators of compromise, supporting threat-hunting activities and ensuring incidents are accurately documented, escalated and resolved. You will also contribute to vulnerability management, security testing, patching and the ongoing improvement of operational processes and controls.
The role will involve administering and tuning tools such as security information and event management platforms, endpoint detection and response solutions, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and vulnerability scanners. You will help develop use cases, dashboards, reports and automation that improve visibility and reduce response times. You will also support audits, risk assessments and the maintenance of security policies, procedures and technical documentation.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, infrastructure security or similar technical role. A good understanding of networking, operating systems, identity and access management, cloud environments and common attack techniques is essential. Experience with SIEM platforms, endpoint security, incident response, vulnerability management and scripting or automation would be highly desirable.
We are looking for someone analytical, methodical and confident when working under pressure. You should be able to communicate technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, collaborate effectively with colleagues and demonstrate sound judgement when prioritising security events. Relevant industry certifications or formal training in cyber security would be advantageous.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop your expertise across a broad security environment, contribute to meaningful improvements and play a key role in protecting services and information. A commitment to continuous learning, professional integrity and secure working practices is essential.
