Currently working with a UK Fintech firm who are in the process of building out their Cyber Defence capability and looking to bring in a cloud-based Security Operations Specialist.

This is a wide ranging role where you’ll be responsible for both Engineering and Analysis; monitoring and responding to incidents whilst also developing new detection rules and enhancing their monitoring infrastructure and tooling.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a lead and technical escalation point on the most complex incidents and investigations.
• Develop and engineer new detection rules, automating monotonous tasks where possible.
• Proactively research emerging and potential threat actors as a way of developing rules to safeguard against potential future threats.
• Mentor and train junior team members through complex incident response investigations.

Key Requirements:

• Significant experience working in a SOC environment (4 years minimum), dealing with and responding to escalated and most high profile incidents.
• Comprehensive knowledge and experience utilising/fine-tuning the Microsoft Security stack – Defender, Sentinel, KQL, etc.
• Experience working in hybrid-cloud SOC environments – Azure/AWS preferably.
• Ability to articulate specific projects that you have built, developed or led on, specific to SecOps Engineering and Automation.
