Working with a well-established financial services client that is strengthening its cybersecurity team. The focus is on building and developing the security technology stack: the detection, automation and tooling that keep threats in check.
No financial services background is needed. Strong security engineers from any sector will be considered.
What you'll own:
- SIEM engineering, including log onboarding and parsing, analytics rules, workbooks and playbooks
- Detection use cases and threat hunting queries driven by current threat intelligence
- SOAR and automation for detection, configuration drift monitoring and remediation
- Threat modelling and security control advice on new projects
- Close partnership with the SOC and infrastructure teams, plus evaluating new security tools
What they're looking for:
- 3+ years in security engineering, security automation or a similar cyber role
- Hands‑on SIEM and EDR experience, ideally Microsoft Sentinel
- Strong query language skills plus PowerShell or Python scripting
- Good knowledge of Active Directory security, networking and cloud (Azure, GCP, AWS)
- Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, NIST or similar frameworks
- Certifications such as AZ-500, SC-200 or Security+
This role suits someone who wants to build and shape security capability, not just keep the lights on.
