Senior Incident Response Specialist (Multiple Opportunities)

We are expanding a high‑end Cyber Defence & Incident Response capability and are looking for senior specialists who thrive in complex, mission‑critical environments. Multiple roles are available, ranging from deep technical incident response to more coordination‑ and leadership‑focused positions. The exact fit depends on your experience, strengths, and ambitions.

About the Opportunity

You will operate at the center of major security incidents within a highly advanced technology landscape where IT, OT, cloud, and engineering environments intersect. Incidents rarely follow a script; this team handles cases that require creativity, strong analysis, and the ability to act when tooling provides limited answers. You will help improve detection, response, automation, and threat‑hunting capabilities.

What You Will Do

Depending on role direction:

Technical / Hands‑On Focus

• Lead investigations for high‑impact incidents
• Perform forensics, log analysis, and threat hunting
• Identify root causes and propose structural improvements
• Enhance detection logic, workflows, and automation

Coordinator / Lead‑Oriented Focus

• Direct and prioritize incident response activities
• Guide and mentor IR/SOC analysts
• Communicate with cross‑functional stakeholders
• Contribute to maturity roadmaps and IR strategy

What You Bring

• 5–10+ years in IR, DFIR, SOC Tier‑2/3, threat hunting, or cyber defense
• Strong technical background (forensics, EDR/XDR, SIEM, network/cloud security)
• Experience coordinating or leading incident investigations
• Analytical mindset, strong communication under pressure, ownership mentality

Why This Role

You will join one of the most challenging and advanced security environments in Europe, with the opportunity to shape your role toward deeper technical specialization or broader strategic responsibility.
