Supported by operating principles of being strategy-led, values-based and disciplined in execution, you’ll be inspired, connected, developed and rewarded here. Everything that makes you unique is welcome; join us and let’s build what’s next - together!

What you’ll be doing:
As a Senior Security Engineer embedded within the Security Operations team,
you will design, build, and continuously improve the technical capabilities that
underpin how we detect, investigate, and respond to threats. You will work at
the intersection of engineering and operations — turning security problems
into scalable, automated solutions. Your core responsibilities will be to:

  • SIEM Engineering: Own the engineering of our SIEM platform, including
    onboarding and normalizing log sources, building and maintaining
    parsers, and ensuring high-fidelity data pipelines that underpin
    detection and investigation. Work to continuously improve log coverage,
    data quality, and platform performance.
  • Detection Engineering: Design, develop, and maintain a library of high-
    quality detections using a Detection as Code methodology — managing
    detection content through version control, peer review, and automated
    testing pipelines. Map detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and
    work to continuously improve coverage, precision, and resilience
    against evasion.
  • SOAR & Automation: Build and maintain automated workflows and
    playbooks using SOAR platforms to streamline alert triage, enrichment,
    and response. Identify manual and repetitive processes across the
    security operations lifecycle and engineer solutions that allow the team
    to operate at scale.
  • AI-Augmented Security Operations: Explore and operationalize the use
    of AI and machine learning to enhance security operations capabilities
    — including alert triage, incident response acceleration, threat
    intelligence analysis, threat hunting, and the enrichment and
    prioritization of detection content. Evaluate emerging AI tooling and
    work to embed it responsibly into team workflows.
  • Threat Intelligence Integration: Consume and operationalize threat
    intelligence from internal and external sources, integrating indicators
    and adversary context into detection logic, SOAR playbooks, and
    hunting activities. Work with threat intelligence feeds and platforms to
    ensure actionable intelligence flows into security operations in a timely
    and structured way.
  • Threat Hunting: Conduct proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunts
    across the environment to identify attacker activity that evades existing
    detections. Document and share findings in a structured way, using
    hunt outcomes to directly inform and improve detection engineering
    and tooling.
  • Incident Response Support: Provide engineering-level support during
    security incidents, assisting with investigation, containment, and
    recovery. Contribute to post-incident reviews and translate lessons
    learned into improved detections, playbooks, and tooling.

What you’ll bring to the role:
We are looking for a technically strong security professional with hands-on
experience building and operating security capabilities in complex
environments. The ideal candidate will possess:

  • Technical Security Experience: Significant experience in a security
    engineering, DevSecOps, or equivalent role with a strong background in
    securing cloud-native environments and modern application stacks.
  • Detection & Response Skills: Practical experience developing and tuning
    SIEM detections, writing threat hunting queries, and participating in
    incident response activities.
  • SecOps Tooling: Hands-on knowledge of administering and operating
    core security operations tools, including SIEM platforms (e.g. Splunk,
    Microsoft Sentinel), EDR/XDR solutions, vulnerability scanners, and
    ticketing or case management systems. Experience integrating these
    tools to support detection, investigation, and response workflows.
  • Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting: Experience working with threat
    intelligence platforms and feeds (e.g. MISP, Recorded Future,
    VirusTotal), and integrating intelligence into security tooling, detection
    logic, and operational processes. A working knowledge of threat hunting
    methodologies and the ability to proactively identify indicators of
    compromise or attacker behavior across the environment is highly
    desirable.
  • Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in one or more scripting or
    programming languages (e.g. Python, Go, Bash) to build security tooling,
    automate workflows, and integrate security capabilities.
  • Application Security Knowledge: Familiarity with secure development
    practices, OWASP top risks, and the ability to perform code reviews or
    work with developers to remediate security findings.
  • Security Frameworks & Standards: Working knowledge of relevant
    security frameworks (e.g. NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks, MITRE ATT&CK)
    and compliance standards such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
  • Communication & Collaboration: Strong ability to articulate technical
    security risks and recommendations to both technical and non-technical
    stakeholders, and to work cross-functionally to deliver security
    outcomes.
  • Incident Response & Digital Forensics: Hands-on experience leading or
    supporting security incident investigations, including evidence
    preservation, log and artifact analysis, timeline reconstruction, and root
    cause identification. Familiarity with forensic tooling and methodologies
    is highly sought after, as is experience contributing to post-incident
    reviews and translating findings into actionable improvements.
