- Independently investigate and respond to complex security events across Linux, macOS, cloud, and Kubernetes environments.

- Determine the scope, impact, severity, and appropriate escalation path for potential security incidents.

- Coordinate containment and remediation activities with security, engineering, infrastructure, and operations teams.

- Utilise and query SIEM, EDR, and other security tools to identify suspicious activity and develop actionable findings.

- Create and improve detections-as-code, investigation procedures, automation, runbooks, and response workflows.

- Perform post-incident reviews and recommend improvements to security controls and response capabilities.

- Partner with threat intelligence and detection engineering teams to prepare for emerging threats and address gaps in coverage.

- Serve as an escalation point and mentor for junior engineers, providing guidance during investigations and reviewing their work.

- Lead scoped operational and technical improvement projects that increase the effectiveness and scalability of the SOC.

### Requirements

- 3–5+ years of experience in security operations, incident response, digital forensics, detection engineering, or a related field.

- Strong experience investigating and responding to security events with limited or incomplete information.

- Strong working knowledge of Linux and macOS systems, including system internals, logging, and common forensic artifacts.

- Experience investigating Kubernetes or container security events.

- Proficiency with modern security tools and platforms, including SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, and firewalls.

- Strong understanding of network protocols, VPNs, proxies, identity systems, and other security technologies.

- Experience developing or tuning security detections, preferably using detections-as-code.

- Ability to manage complex investigations, communicate risk clearly, and make sound decisions in high-pressure situations.

- Experience mentoring less-experienced engineers and collaborating effectively across teams and time zones.

- Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cyber Security, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.

### Preferred Qualifications

- Experience securing cloud infrastructure or large-scale production environments.

- Experience using Python or another scripting language to automate security workflows.

- Familiarity with incident response in Kubernetes-based infrastructure.

- Experience collaborating with detection engineering, threat intelligence, or software engineering teams.

- A demonstrated commitment to staying current with emerging threats, security technologies, and industry best practices.
