CYBER SECURITY OPERATIONS ENGINEER
York-based (or within reasonable range of caffeine, high-speed internet, and reality)
No, we don’t build firewalls out of bricks, but we do take them seriously.
Right then. We’ll keep this simple.
A FTSE that doesn’t cut corners - is hiring a Cyber Security Operations Engineer .
If you're the kind of person who spots anomalies before SIEM alerts even pop, talks in MITRE ATT&CK when stressed, and dreams in hex - we want to hear from you.
You’ll report to the Cyber Security Operations Manager and be part of the team responsible for keeping the digital wolves away from the door - across the organisation, and its sales offices. Yes, all of them.
This role’s not for clockwatchers. It's for professionals who understand that cyber threats don't respect business hours.
What You'll Actually Be Doing (Because Job Titles Mean Nothing Without Context):
* Monitoring our SIEM platform like a hawk with insomnia
* Responding to EDR alerts and sifting through digital noise to find the signal
* Triage, incident response, risk analysis - the full SOC works
* Digging into vulnerabilities and tracking them until they’re dead or fixed
* Being the person who knows when something just "looks off"
* Working alongside infra, networking, and other IT folk to keep things stitched up tight
* Occasionally being that annoying-but-right person asking, “Have we thought about the security implications of this?”
What You Bring:
* 3+ years doing serious IT or security work (not just Googling stack traces)
* Comfortable in the Microsoft 365 / Azure ecosystem - PowerShell fluency helps
* You’ve poked at firewalls, cloud environments, and know what an IDS should and shouldn't be doing
* You can explain why “it’s probably fine” is a terrible risk assessment
* Relevant certs? CompTIA Security+, Microsoft, ITIL, whatever makes sense - good to have, not everything
The Not-So-Fine Print:
* You’ll need to travel now and again (we pay for it)
* Occasionally you’ll need to burn the midnight oil (we’ll respect your time)
* We don’t do drama. We do outcomes.
* We’ll support your growth. You support our security. Fair’s fair.
Why Join Us?
