Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for:
- Strong SOC / Security Operations experience
- Hands-on SIEM engineering experience
- Detection engineering and alert tuning
- Experience with KQL, SPL or similar query languages

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
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.
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
- 25 days holiday
- On-site parking
- Hybrid working with flexibility
- Significant opportunity to shape and grow the SOC function
