Conduct detection coverage analysis aligned to MITRE ATT&CK and threat intelligence insights
Collaborate with SOC, threat hunting and red/purple teams to continuously uplift detection capability and operational effectiveness
Contribute to detection-as-code practices, including version control, documentation, and CI/CD pipelines
Participate in security operations rotations, supporting incident triage and response activities
What You’ll Bring
Hands-on experience in cyber security operations (SOC, incident response or threat detection engineering) – this is essential
Strong understanding of security concepts including attack lifecycle, threat actor techniques, and alert triage workflows
Familiarity with SIEM and EDR platforms, and ability to analyse logs across endpoint, identity and network sources
Experience or exposure to detection engineering, rule creation, or threat-informed defence practices
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to balance detection coverage and operational noise
Effective communication skills and ability to document clearly in operational environments
A growth mindset, with eagerness to learn and develop within a high-performing cyber team
