Cyber Security Engineer / Leeds or London / £45,000 - £65,000
Shape the Future of Enterprise Cyber Defence
This is an opportunity to step into one of the most influential technical security roles within a large-scale organisation undertaking a significant investment in its cyber security capability. Rather than simply responding to incidents, you'll become the internal technical authority for Security Operations tooling, Detection Engineering and security platform optimisation, helping define how the organisation detects, investigates and responds to cyber threats.
You'll take ownership of industry-leading technologies including Google SecOps, CrowdStrike and Darktrace, while driving improvements across automation, AI-assisted investigations and next-generation Security Operations.
If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence cyber strategy, improve enterprise resilience and help shape the future operating model of Security Operations, this is an outstanding opportunity.
The Role
Working within a collaborative Security Operations function, you'll sit at the centre of Security Operations, Detection Engineering and Security Platform Engineering.
You'll become the internal Subject Matter Expert for security tooling, ensuring the organisation's detection capabilities continue to evolve while acting as the technical bridge between Security Operations, Security Engineering, Architecture and an outsourced Security Operations partner.
This is far more than a traditional SOC position. Around 70% of your focus will be dedicated to Detection Engineering and platform ownership, with the remaining time spent supporting operational improvements, incident assurance and strengthening the overall security capability.
