Security Operations Engineer
We are seeking a Security Operations Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications and data across a complex technology environment. You will play a key role in the day-to-day operation, monitoring and continual improvement of security controls, working closely with infrastructure, cloud, development and service management teams.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring security alerts and events, investigating suspected incidents, supporting containment and remediation activities, and maintaining accurate records throughout the incident lifecycle. You will help manage and tune security tooling, including SIEM, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, identity and access management, firewalls and cloud security platforms. You will also contribute to threat hunting, security investigations and the development of detection and response capabilities.
The role will involve identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risk and supporting the prioritisation and tracking of remediation actions. You will assist with security assessments, audit activities and control reviews, ensuring that operational processes align with relevant policies, standards and regulatory requirements. You will be expected to create and maintain clear technical documentation, operational procedures, metrics and reports, while helping to improve automation and reduce repetitive manual tasks.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, engineering or incident response environment, with a sound understanding of networking, operating systems, cloud technologies and common attack techniques. Experience using SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanning and ticketing platforms is highly desirable. Familiarity with scripting or automation, particularly using Python, PowerShell or similar tools, would be advantageous.
We are looking for someone analytical, methodical and confident when responding to time-sensitive issues. You should be able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues, manage competing priorities and work effectively as part of a collaborative team. Relevant professional certifications, such as CompTIA Security+, GIAC, Microsoft security certifications or equivalent experience, would be beneficial.
This is an opportunity to make a direct contribution to a developing security function, strengthen operational resilience and support the delivery of secure, reliable technology services.
