Sword is a leading provider of business technology solutions within the Energy, Public and Finance Sectors, driving transformational change within our clients. We use proven technology, specialist teams and domain expertise to build solid technical foundations across platforms, data, and business applications. We have a passion for using technology to solve business problems, working in partnership with our clients to help in achieving their goals.
About the Role:
We specialise in delivering cyber security and data analytics solutions for some of the UK's biggest brands in financial services and public sector. As a long-standing Splunk partner, we're passionate about creating secure, resilient environments for our clients.
We're growing our team and looking for a Cyber Data Engineer with a Linux background and exposure to Splunk or similar monitoring tools and a real passion for working in a security-focused environment.
You don't need to be a Splunk expert on day one — if you have the right foundation and mindset, we'll invest in your formal Splunk training and certification.
As the Cyber Data Engineer, you will be:
* Supporting the administration and scaling of a large-scale Splunk platform (30TB+ ingestion).
* Working closely with SRE and SOC teams to optimise platform performance and security investigations.
* Enhancing Splunk platform configurations and helping scale the platform for future growth.
* Assisting with infrastructure projects including:
o Linux migration (RHEL7 to RHEL9)
o Splunk upgrades (v9 to v10)
o LAN migration to AWS cloud
* Maintaining operational health and refining Splunk use cases to ensure efficient cyber investigations.
* Developing scripts and automations using Bash and/or Python
Requirements
* Strong background in Linux systems administration (preferably Red Hat).
* Exposure to Splunk (administration, monitoring, or usage — deeper Splunk training can be provided).
* Basic scripting skills in Bash or Python.
* Familiarity with Git and version control practices.
* An interest or background in cyber security, particularly supporting SOC operations.
* Exposure to AWS environments would be beneficial but not essential.
* Detail-oriented with a strong analytical approach and willingness to learn.
Benefits
At Sword, our core values and culture are based on caring about our people, investing in training and career development, and building inclusive teams where we are all encouraged to contribute to achieve success.
We offer comprehensive benefits designed to support your professional development and enhance your overall quality of life. In addition to a Competitive Salary, here's what you can expect as part of our benefits package:
* Personalised Career Development: We create a development plan customised to your goals and aspirations, with a range of learning and development opportunities within a culture that encourages growth.
* Flexible working: Flexible work arrangements to support your work-life balance. We can't promise to always be able to meet every request, however, are keen to discuss your individual preferences to make it work where we can.
* A Fantastic Benefits Package: This includes generous annual leave allowance, enhanced family friendly benefits, pension scheme, access to private health, well-being, and insurance schemes, an employee assistance programme, discounted cash plan and more....
At Sword we are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and are proud to be an equal opportunities employer, ensuring that all applicants receive fair and equal consideration for employment, regardless of whether they meet every requirement. If you don't tick all the boxes but feel you have some of the relevant skills and experience we're looking for, please do consider applying and highlight your transferable skills and experience.
