Job description

We’re supporting a fast-growing security operations team looking for a permanent night-shift SOC Analyst to join their UK-based 24/7 operation. This is a fully remote role with a quiet shift pattern that gives you huge room for learning, development, and progressing into deeper security operations over time.

This hire is urgent following a team change, and they’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, work independently, and take real ownership of investigations and alerts.

You will be on a serious learning and development time. Weekend nights are typically low volume, giving you long uninterrupted blocks to study, practice, and build skills in a live SOC environment.

This is a fully remote night shift lifestyle. Stable schedule, no on-call, and minimal disruption once you’re settled into the rhythm.

You will also gain exposure to a modern tooling stack. You’ll work with Sentinel, FortiSIEM, CrowdStrike, Cisco, Tenable and more, building highly transferable blue team skills.

If you are interested in this opportunity, get in touch and apply today.

• Support continuous improvement of detection rules and SOC processes.
• Communicate clearly with colleagues and customers when providing updates or escalations.

Skills / Must Have:

• Network+ or CCNA level networking knowledge.

• Eligible for security clearances (NPPV3, SC, CTC) meaning 5+ years UK residency.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with SIEM platforms such as Sentinel, AlienVault, USM Anywhere or FortiSIEM.
