As a Cyber Security Engineer, you will play an integral part in the safeguarding of Ecotricity’s digital assets, data and IT infrastructure from potential cyber threats. You will be responsible for maintaining & continually improving robust security platforms and controls, whilst ensuring alignment with company policies.
We are looking for someone who is proactive beyond simply configuring security tools and will use their experience and initiative to help drive the cyber initiative throughout the business using a range of security tools.
Whilst focussing on incident prevention is key, being prepared for a successful cyber attack is equally vital. Creating incident response playbooks, running tabletop exercises and simulations will be essential to ensure systems can be restored.
Key Responsibilities
* Engineer, maintain, and continuously improve SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and security monitoring programmes
* Develop and tune high-fidelity detections to reduce false positives and improve signal
About You
Required Skills & Experience
* Proven experience in a SecOps, Security Engineering, or SOC Engineering role
* Strong hands‑on experience with SIEM platforms (e.g. Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic)
* Experience securing & monitoring cloud security operations (Azure, AWS)
* Experience with endpoint security and detection tooling (e.g. Defender, CrowdStrike)
Solid understanding of:
* MITRE ATT&CK
* Vulnerability management
* Log sources across cloud, identity, endpoint, and network
* Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python, KQL, or similar)
* Incident response lifecycle
* Threat intelligence ingestion and analysis
* Threat hunting experience
* Security certifications (e.g. GCED, CISSP, CCSP, OSCP or equivalent experience)
What Success Looks Like in This Role
* Fewer security incidents due to earlier detection and prevention
* Improved visibility, higher‑quality alerts and reduced analyst fatigue
* Faster response times driven by automation and engineering improvements
* A demonstrably more proactive and mature security operations capability
What's in it for you?
* Healthcare plan, life assurance and generous pension contribution
* Hybrid Working
* Various company discounts (including shops, gyms, days out and events)
* Holiday of 25 days (plus bank holidays) & ability to buy/sell days
* Cycle to work scheme, car pooling and onsite parking available
As a valued member of the team, you will be supporting the Group Environmental Policy and its associated sustainability objectives and targets.
