Position Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Cybersecurity Engineer to join our Security Operations Centre (SOC). This role requires strong ownership and accountability over the cybersecurity platforms and detection infrastructure that support day-to-day security operations. You will be responsible for building, maintaining, and optimizing technologies such as SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and other telemetry and automation tools. The ideal candidate is a self-starter, highly autonomous, and proactive, with a strong sense of responsibility and initiative to drive improvements in security visibility and response capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
SOC Engineering & Tooling
  • Own the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of SOC platforms (e.g., SIEM, SOAR, EDR).
  • Integrate and maintain telemetry from endpoints, cloud services, applications, and network infrastructure.
  • Build ingestion pipelines and parsers for structured and unstructured log data.
  • Automate alert triage and incident response tasks through playbooks and scripting.
Detection Engineering
  • Develop, test, and fine-tune correlation rules and behavioural detections aligned to MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Perform continuous detection gap assessments and implement improvements to close visibility gaps.
  • Use red/purple team techniques and simulation tools to validate and improve detections.
Incident Response Support
  • Provide technical and platform-level support to SOC analysts during incident triage and response.
  • Create forensic and IR scripts and utilities to support advanced investigation.
  • Participate in post-incident reviews and implement changes to improve detection and response.
  • Participate in after-hours on-call rotation to ensure coverage for incidents and escalations.
Monitoring & Optimization
  • Monitor platform health, performance, and data integrity of all SOC tools and pipelines.
  • Troubleshoot ingestion failures, performance degradation, and false positives.
  • Ensure high availability, scalability, and secure configuration of the SOC security technology stack.
Collaboration & Documentation
  • Collaborate with IT infrastructure, cloud, and application teams to support end-to-end log collection and visibility.
  • Work closely with threat intelligence, red team, and vulnerability management functions.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of detection logic, engineering processes, playbooks, and system configurations.
  • Support audits, compliance reviews, and evidence collection efforts.
Qualifications
Required:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years in a security engineering or threat detection role.
  • Hands-on experience with SIEMs (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar), SOAR platforms, and endpoint security tools.
  • Strong scripting skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation and tool integration.
  • Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, and CIS security controls.
  • Strong analytical thinking and troubleshooting skills.
  • Demonstrated accountability and ownership over security technologies or systems.
Preferred:
  • Experience with cloud-native logging and security tools (Azure, AWS, GCP).
  • Experience integrating third-party feeds and custom parsers.
  • Certifications such as: GCIA, GCIH, GCED, CISSP, CySA+, AZ-500, Security+.
Soft Skills & Attributes
  • Self-starter with a proactive mindset and ability to drive initiatives with minimal supervision.
  • Comfortable working autonomously and taking end-to-end ownership of platform engineering and detection coverage.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills to work across teams and functions.
  • Commitment to continuous improvement, learning, and staying ahead of evolving threats.
