I'm working with a growing cyber security business that is relocating its SOC capability to the UK and looking for a Mid to Senior SOC Engineer to play a key role in building out the function.

This is a hands-on position covering both SOC operations and engineering, supporting a portfolio of key clients while also helping shape the tooling, processes and detection capability around the SOC.

/n
/n
- Proactive security monitoring and threat hunting
/n
- Investigating and responding to security incidents
/n
- Engineering and improving SIEM environments
/n
- Building and tuning detection rules
/n
- Developing detection coverage around MITRE ATT&CK
/n
- Supporting and maintaining client security platforms

/n
/n
This could suit an experienced SOC Analyst looking to move further into engineering, or an established SOC Engineer who wants the opportunity to have real influence over how a SOC is built and developed.
/n
The business is currently small and growing, so this person will have plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to become a central part of the technical team.

Benefits include:

- Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience
/n
- 25 days holiday
