You'll take a leading role in detecting, analysing, and responding to cyber threats across diverse client environments, mentoring junior analysts, improving detection content, and helping drive SOC maturity.

What you'll do:

  • Lead complex investigations and incident response.
  • Develop SIEM/EDR use cases and correlation rules.
  • Perform proactive threat hunting and support automation initiatives.
  • Produce incident reports and guide remediation activities.
  • Help coach and upskill junior analysts.

You should bring:

  • 2-4 years' experience in a SOC, CSIRT, or cyber defence environment.
  • Solid knowledge of SIEM and EDR platforms (Sentinel, Splunk, Defender, CrowdStrike, etc.).
  • Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK and network/cloud security principles.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills.

Bonus points for:

  • Scripting or automation experience (KQL, PowerShell, Python).
