Your Mission
At Ontinue, we’re building an environment where you can thrive. We encourage collaboration and cross-functional learning. We’re more than just a stepping stone on your resume. We’re a company where you can thrive and grow.
As a Senior Cyber Defender (Senior SOC Analyst), you are at the forefront of our defenses, being first to react and respond to new threats. You work on the full stack for detection and response, ranging from identity over endpoint to the network, including cloud. Your curiosity drives you to constantly learn and grow from responding to a variety of attacks. Your diligence and attention to detail enable you to spot attacks accurately and deliver topmost quality. Next to direct operations work, you contribute to projects interfacing with other internal teams as well as customers to constantly move our service forward. Senior Cyber Defenders will not only perform investigations, but will use their experience to mentor and coach more junior defenders and play a part in keeping operations running smoothly by functioning as a Shift Lead.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
