Cambridge (Flexible working arrangements available)
£70k-£80k
Build the backbone of next-gen security operations.

Tired of firefighting repetitive security tasks and looking to create real change through smart automation? Want to play a key role in building a world-class security operations platform from the ground up?
This is your chance to design and deploy the kind of tooling and automations that transform how a modern cyber team defends a fast-moving, always-on digital environment. You'll be part of a forward-thinking security function that's serious about incident response, proactive defence, and continuously improving how they work.

Your mission:

• Develop scalable automation workflows that improve how we detect, respond to, and recover from threats.
• Streamline processes across threat intel, incident response, and vulnerability management by eliminating repetitive manual tasks.
• Design and fine-tune SIEM detections that surface real signals and support both proactive and reactive actions.
• Collaborate across multiple cyber disciplines and work with third-party tools and partners to create seamless integrations.
• Drive process improvement in relation to Cyber Automations and Tooling

What you'll bring:

• Proven experience in a technical cyber role, with a focus on Security Automation and Tools
• Hands-on experience with security automation tools, scripting, and SIEM platforms.
• Strong understanding of cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP) and how to secure them at scale.

What's in it for you?
This is a high-impact role in a creative, collaborative, and people-first environment. You'll have the space to try new things, the support to grow your skills, and the tools to make a measurable difference. The benefits are excellent and include:

• Private medical and dental cover
• Enhanced pension contributions
• Bonus potential and career development support
• 25+ days holiday, with buy/sell options
• Flexible hours and hybrid working setup
• And a lot more, because we believe happy teams build better solutions
