SOC Engineer
We are seeking a skilled SOC Engineer to support the operation, development and continual improvement of a security operations capability. You will help protect systems, applications, networks and data by monitoring security events, investigating suspicious activity and responding to incidents in a structured and timely manner.
The role will involve analysing alerts from SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and vulnerability management tools. You will triage and investigate potential threats, identify indicators of compromise, carry out initial containment activities and escalate complex incidents when required. You will also contribute to forensic investigations, root-cause analysis and the preparation of clear incident reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
You will help develop and refine detection rules, use threat intelligence to improve monitoring coverage, and identify opportunities to automate repetitive processes. Maintaining accurate playbooks, procedures and operational documentation will be an important part of the position, as will supporting vulnerability assessments, security testing and remediation tracking. The successful candidate will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, applications and service teams to strengthen security controls and reduce risk.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, incident response or cyber security engineering environment, with a good understanding of common attack techniques, security monitoring principles and incident management processes. Experience with SIEM platforms, EDR tools, firewalls, identity services, vulnerability scanners and cloud security technologies is highly desirable. Familiarity with scripting, particularly PowerShell or Python, and an ability to query and interpret security data would be advantageous.
You should be analytical, methodical and able to remain calm when dealing with high-priority incidents. Strong communication skills, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous learning are essential. Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH, GCIA or equivalent professional experience would be welcomed. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the organisation’s cyber resilience while developing your expertise in a collaborative technical environment.
