Senior Cybersecurity Consultant
This is a senior, hands-on cybersecurity consulting role focused on helping customers improve and automate their Security Operations Centre (SOC) capabilities. You'll design, build, and optimise detection and response solutions across SIEM, XDR, and SOAR platforms, with a strong emphasis on detection engineering, automation, and "detection as code."
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and optimise detection rules for SIEM and XDR platforms, with a strong focus on Microsoft Sentinel.
- Build, maintain, and enhance SOAR automations, incident response playbooks, and workflow integrations.
- Develop high-quality detection content using Kusto Query Language (KQL), Python, and PowerShell.
- Create and maintain detection use cases aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Assess customer logging and telemetry to identify visibility gaps and improve detection coverage.
- Implement and maintain Detection-as-Code (DaC) pipelines, ensuring security content is reusable, version-controlled, and scalable.
- Lead customer workshops and provide strategic guidance on SOC maturity, detection engineering, and security operations best practices.
- Collaborate with engineering, onboarding, and delivery teams to integrate detections, automations, and response workflows into customer environments.
- Continuously improve detection content, automation playbooks, and operational standards to enhance SOC effectiveness and efficiency.
- Stay current with emerging threats, attack techniques, and security technologies to ensure detection capabilities remain effective.
