I’m supporting a leading organisation in the cyber security and digital infrastructure sector looking to hire a Senior Security Engineer to join their growing Security Operations function. This is a hands‐on engineering and consultancy role where you’ll help customers strengthen, automate and modernise their SOC capabilities.

- Supporting cloud environment reviews across Azure, AWS or GCP
- Delivering clear technical documentation to customers
- Collaborating with internal SOC Engineers on innovation and roadmap work
What we're looking for
- Experience across SOAR platforms (XSOAR, Logic Apps, Siemplify)
- Strong scripting ability (Python, PowerShell)
- Hands‐on SIEM engineering (Sentinel, Chronicle or similar)
- Knowledge of XDR / EDR tooling (Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne)
- Experience with Tenable, Qualys or Rapid7
- Understanding of exposure management or CTEM tooling
- Strong communication skills and customer‐facing confidence
- Eligible for SC or DV clearance
Why this role stands out

- Access to cutting‐edge security tooling and dedicated labs
- Clear progression and certification support
- A genuinely innovative engineering team with room to experiment
- Hybrid flexibility and a collaborative environment
