We’re working with a growing technology business to hire a Security Operations Engineer as they significantly evolve and invest in their security capability.
This is not a traditional SOC role.
You’ll join a small security function with real backing to improve the existing environment, introduce new tooling, automate manual processes and build a more engineering-led security capability.
The role
Initially, you’ll be hands-on across security operations and cloud security, working to improve the current environment and remove repetitive manual work through automation.
You’ll be involved in:
- AWS/GCP cloud security, monitoring and detections.
- Triaging and remediating CSPM findings using a risk-based approach.
- Building and improving security detections.
- Automating manual security processes and alert workflows.
- Vulnerability management and remediation.
- Improving alert quality and reducing false positives.
- Evaluating and implementing new security tooling.
- Supporting improvements across SIEM, EDR, MDM and Zero Trust.
- Working closely with Platform and Engineering teams.
- Using scripting, automation and AI tooling to solve security problems.
Over time, the role will move increasingly towards Security Engineering and Architecture, giving you the opportunity to help shape how the wider security environment is built.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who has genuinely owned and built things, rather than simply operated within established processes.
You’ll ideally have:
- Hands-on cloud security experience across AWS and/or GCP.
- Experience with CSPM tooling and managing findings through prioritisation, remediation and resolution.
- Good understanding of cloud threats, vulnerabilities and security detections.
- A strong risk-based approach to vulnerability management.
- Experience scripting or automating security processes.
- The confidence to investigate issues and make decisions independently.
- A genuine interest in AI and automation, ideally with examples of tools, agents, workflows or automations you’ve built or experimented with.
- A proactive, engineering-led mindset.
We’re also less concerned about experience with a particular SIEM or EDR product. If you have the underlying security engineering knowledge and can pick up new technology quickly, that’s much more important.
The real attraction here is ownership.
You’re joining an environment where there is appetite to change things rather than simply maintain what’s already there.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Help select and implement new security tooling.
- Automate away manual security work.
- Work closely with engineering rather than sitting in an isolated SOC.
- Experiment with AI and new approaches to security automation.
- Influence how the security environment develops.
- Progress further into Security Engineering and Architecture.
- Join a growing team early and have a genuine impact on its direction.
There’s strong investment behind the security function, a supportive leadership team and plenty still to build.
Equity is included as part of the package.
If you’re currently working across Security Operations, Cloud Security, Detection Engineering, Security Engineering or DevSecOps and want a role where you can build, automate and take ownership, we’d love to hear from you.
