Job description

We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to join an established cyber security team and help build, automate and mature its security capability.

This is roughly 50% hands-on Security Engineering and 50% cyber uplift. You’ll work across SIEM/XDR, detection, cloud security and incident response, while using Python, DevOps practices and automation to make security processes more scalable and effective.

There’s also a strong focus on exploring how AI can be practically applied across security operations and engineering.
What you’ll do

  • Engineer and continuously improve SIEM, XDR and security monitoring capabilities
  • Build, test and tune high-quality security detections
  • Support complex incident response, investigations and threat hunting
  • Improve security visibility and telemetry across AWS and Azure
  • Develop Python tooling and automation to eliminate repetitive security processes
  • Apply detection-as-code, Git, CI/CD and DevOps practices to security engineering
  • Work across vulnerability management, remediation and wider security uplift initiatives
  • Identify opportunities to use AI and automation to improve security operations
  • Partner with cloud, infrastructure and engineering teams to improve security controls and visibility
  • Help mature security processes rather than simply maintaining existing tooling

What you’ll bring

  • Strong experience across Security Engineering, Detection Engineering or senior Security Operations
  • Hands-on experience with SIEM and XDR technologies
  • Strong understanding of detection engineering, security monitoring and incident response
  • Python scripting and automation experience
  • Experience securing AWS and/or Azure environments
  • Understanding of CI/CD, Git and modern DevOps/DevSecOps practices
  • Experience with threat hunting, MITRE ATT&CK and attacker behaviours
  • An engineering mindset with the ability to identify problems and build scalable solutions
  • Experience with SOAR, security data pipelines or automated remediation would be highly regarded
  • Exposure to AI within cyber security or automation would be advantageous

Why apply? This isn't a role where you'll spend your time simply responding to alerts.

You'll have the opportunity to build and improve security capability, automate manual processes and influence how security engineering is delivered across the organisation.

It's ideal for someone who wants to stay technically hands-on while broadening their experience across cloud, automation, DevSecOps and AI-driven security.
