Senior SecOps Engineer
Location – Fully Remote
Salary - £75-85k + Bonus + Benefits
Currently working with a UK Fintech firm who are in the process of building out their Cyber Defence capability and looking to bring in a Senior SecOps Engineer with experience working in cloud-native environment and automation-first mindset.
This is a wide ranging role where you’ll be responsible for both Engineering and Analysis; monitoring and responding to incidents whilst also developing new detection rules and enhancing their monitoring infrastructure and tooling. This is a relatively greenfield SecOps environment where security and detections have been built in from inception at the development stage – that mindset and experience implementing and deploying Detection-as-Code (DAC) and Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) will be essential.
This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced SecOps specialist with experience of both SecOps Analysis and Engineering to join a growing yet established firm at a crucial point as they completely build out their Information and Cyber Security capability. Whilst they have the fundamentals in place, this is a relatively greenfield SOC buildout, where you will work alongside the SOC Manager to shape their SOC monitoring, detection and response function.
Key Responsibilities:
* Act as a lead and technical escalation point on the most complex incidents and investigations.
* Develop and engineer new detection rules, automating monotonous tasks where possible and looking for opportunities to implement and deploy Detection-as-Code (DAC) and Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) wherever possible.
* Proactively research emerging and potential threat actors as a way of developing rules to safeguard against potential future threats.
* Mentor and train junior team members through complex incident response investigations.
Key Requirements:
* Significant experience working in a SOC environment (4 years minimum), dealing with and responding to escalated and most high profile incidents.
* Experience working in hybrid-cloud SOC environments – Azure/AWS preferably.
* Practical experience both implementing and deploying DAC and IAC.
* Comprehensive knowledge and experience utilising/fine-tuning the Microsoft Security stack – Defender, Sentinel, KQL, etc.
* Ability to articulate specific projects that you have built, developed or led on, specific to SecOps Engineering and Automation.
