SOC Engineer
We are seeking a SOC Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications and data from evolving cyber threats. Working within a collaborative security operations function, you will monitor, investigate and respond to suspicious activity while helping to strengthen detection and response capabilities across the environment.
Your responsibilities will include analysing security alerts from SIEM, endpoint detection and response, network monitoring and cloud security platforms. You will investigate incidents, assess potential impact, identify root cause and coordinate appropriate containment and remediation actions. You will also contribute to threat hunting, vulnerability investigations and the development of incident response playbooks, ensuring that activity is accurately documented and escalated when required.
The role will involve creating and tuning detection rules, improving alert quality and reducing false positives. You will support the onboarding of new data sources, maintain clear operational documentation and produce meaningful reports on incidents, trends and control effectiveness. You may also assist with security monitoring improvements, technical investigations and post-incident reviews to help prevent recurrence.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, incident response or security engineering role, together with a sound understanding of networking, operating systems, identity management and common attack techniques. Experience with SIEM and endpoint security technologies is essential; familiarity with cloud platforms, security orchestration and automation, threat intelligence frameworks and detection engineering would be advantageous.
You should be comfortable analysing logs and events, using scripting or automation to improve processes, and communicating technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues. Relevant security certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome. We are looking for someone analytical, methodical and curious, with the judgement to prioritise competing incidents and the initiative to continually improve security operations.
