Threat Intelligence Engineer / Honeypot Analyst
£100,000 + benefits | Fully remote (including overseas work)
Are you ready to push the limits of Threat Intelligence and offensive security? We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer to help us enhance our ability to understand and detect how organisations could be compromised - in real time.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role for an experienced and highly technical professional who thrives on complex data challenges and wants to shape the future of proactive cyber defence.
What you'll do
* Analyse and interpret large-scale honeypot datasets to uncover patterns, behaviours, and real-world attack techniques.
* Design and deploy detections for both known and emerging exploits, translating raw telemetry into actionable intelligence.
* Develop and maintain intelligence platforms capable of ingesting, analysing, and alerting on threats in real time.
* Build scenarios and simulations based on live adversary data to support detection engineering, research, and reporting.
* Collaborate across teams to ensure intelligence findings are rapidly operationalised and communicated to key stakeholders.
* Produce clear, insightful intelligence reports that inform strategy, response, and prevention efforts.
What we're looking for
* 8+ years' experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on large-scale data analysis, threat intelligence, or offensive security.
* Deep experience with honeypot data - analysing, correlating, and building scenarios from high-volume, real-world attack telemetry.
* 2+ years' experience specifically in a Threat Intelligence function.
* Familiarity with threat actor tracking, vulnerability databases, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
* Strong data analysis skills, ideally using the ELK stack (OpenSearch, Logstash, Kibana).
* Intermediate proficiency in Python, capable of automating workflows and developing custom analysis tools.
* Background in Incident Response or SOC operations is a plus.
* Experience in a fast-paced, early-stage environment working with enterprise clients is highly desirable.
Why join us?
* Cutting edge, industry defining work
* Fully remote, work where suits you (so long as you're a UK domicile tax payer)
* Shape something special with an amazing team
If you're passionate about understanding the adversary, thrive on working with rich, complex data, and want to make a tangible impact in the cybersecurity space - we'd love to hear from you.
