Do you have experience working with or alongside a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) with hands on involvement in technical incident investigation or alert response? If so, join Elysium Healthcare as the Security Operations Engineer.

You will be leading the day-to-day operational security response by working closely with the managed SOC and internal technical teams. As the Security Operations Engineer, you will be responsible for triaging, investigating, and coordinating the resolution of security alerts and incidents — whether raised by the SOC or internally via user-reported tickets. Acting as the central point for operational security, you will ensure threats are quickly identified, validated, and addressed in collaboration with IT and infrastructure teams.a

In addition to alert triage and incident response, you will be responsible for maintaining and tuning key security solutions such as endpoint detection and response (EDR), antivirus, and vulnerability management platforms. This role ensures these tools operate effectively, remain aligned to evolving threats, and support compliance with organisational standards and frameworks.

You will also provide technical support to internal security-aligned projects and initiatives — including control implementations, configuration tasks, and operational testing. This ensures that new capabilities are integrated effectively into day-to-day operations, and that operational feedback is embedded into project delivery.

Ultimately, the role plays a key part in strengthening the organisation’s cyber defence posture by bridging the gap between threat detection, technical resolution, and continuous improvement.

As a Security Operations Engineer, You Will Be

• Act as the primary point of contact for the managed SOC provider.
• Triage and coordinate response to SOC alerts and escalations.
• Investigate and respond to internally raised security tickets (e.g. phishing reports, endpoint concerns).
• Liaise with Infrastructure and Service Desk teams to coordinate remediation actions.
• Provide feedback to the SOC provider to optimise alert thresholds, reduce false positives, and improve threat detection accuracy.
• Prioritise security alerts based on business impact, SLA requirements, and known threat intelligence.
• Maintain and tune operational security platforms (e.g. EDR, antivirus, vulnerability scanning).
• Support internal security projects with implementation, testing, and documentation.
• Maintain records of security incidents, response actions, and lessons learned.
• Collaborate with the SOC to improve alerting thresholds and escalation processes.
• Contribute to the development of security operating procedures and runbooks
  
  

To Be Successful In This Role, You Will Have

• Experience working with or alongside a managed SOC.
• Hands-on involvement in technical incident investigation or alert response.
• Experience supporting the deployment or tuning of security tools
• Involvement in security-aligned projects (e.g. PAM, MFA, vulnerability remediation
• Solid understanding of security operations principles, including the incident response lifecycle.
• Familiarity with detection and response technologies (e.g. EDR, antivirus, SIEM, vulnerability scanners).
• Knowledge of key cybersecurity frameworks and standards (e.g. NIST CSF, CIS Controls).
• Ability to analyse and interpret technical security alerts and logs.
• Understanding of endpoint, server, and network security fundamentals.
• Competent in documenting incidents, technical actions, and process updates.
• Strong interpersonal skills to work across IT, service desk, and third-party teams.
• Ability to prioritise workload under pressure, especially during active incidents.
  
  

What You Will Get

• A Competitive Annual Salary
• The equivalent of 33 days annual leave Pro Rata (inc Bank Holidays) – plus your birthday off!
• Free meals and parking
• Wellbeing support and activities to help you maintain a great work-life balance.
• 24 hour GP Service to ensure you are the best you can be
• Career development and training to help you achieve your career goals.
• Pension contribution to secure your future.
• Life Assurance for added peace of mind.
