Posting End Date: 07/10/2025

We’re seeking a seasoned Incident Response Engineer to lead the detection, analysis, and containment of threats across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. You’ll work at pace with SIEM and SOAR tooling, tune detection content, and hunt for anomalous activity across networks, endpoints, and applications. From forensic deep-dives to root cause analysis, you’ll own the technical response that transforms alerts into decisive action.

This role goes beyond triage! You’ll help shape the incident response function itself. Collaborating with MSSPs, internal SOC teams, and cloud security specialists, you’ll apply frameworks like NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK, orchestrate response playbooks, and drive improvements in resilience and recovery. With your expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), automation, and disaster recovery planning, you’ll harden defenses while leading the charge during live incidents. If you thrive in high-pressure environments and want to be the engineer everyone looks to when seconds count, this role is built for you.

Accountabilities and Responsibilities:

• Supports the MSSP with network monitoring and intrusion detection analysis using various computer network tools, such as intrusion detection/prevention systems, firewalls and host-based security systems
• Supports log-based and endpoint-based threat detection to detect and protect against threats coming from multiple sources
• Assists with cloud-centric detection to detect threats related to cloud environments and services used by the organisation
• Contributes to correlation activity across assets (endpoint, network, apps) and environments (on-premises, cloud) to identify patterns of anomalous activity
• Supports the review of alerts and data from sensors, and documents formal, technical incident reports
• Supports the threat intelligence and/or threat-hunting teams
• Provides incident response support, including mitigating actions to contain activity and assisting with forensics analysis when necessary
• Supports the creation of business continuity/disaster recovery plans, including assisting in conducting disaster recovery tests, and supporting changes necessary to address deficiencies
• Works with the MSSP and internal teams to manage/tune the security information and event management (SIEM) system, support the detection content and actively watch for alerts
• Assists to correlate network, cloud and endpoint activity across environments to identify attacks and unauthorised use
• Supports the Associate Incident Response and the MSSP to identify events on incidents that may impact the network and co-ordinate with internal incident response teams to manage and resolve incidents.
• Participate in after hours escalated support for cyber security related incidents.

Knowledge and Education:

• Experience with security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) tools
• Familiarity with incident response frameworks and methodologies, including frameworks like NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK.
• Experience with incident response tools and technologies, including tools for security information and event management (SIEM), forensics, and threat intelligence.
• Experience with developing and implementing incident response plans
• Experience with reporting and communicating incident details, improving incident response processes and recovering from security incidents
• Ability to perform independent analysis of complex problems and distil relevant findings and root causes
• Ability to communicate complex and technical issues to diverse audiences, orally and in writing, in an easily understood, authoritative and actionable manner
• Familiar with cloud security concepts and best practices, as well as the security features and capabilities of major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Familiar with security automation tools and techniques, and be able to use them to automate security tasks and improve the efficiency of the SOC.
