If you’ve ever run something like this and found a log source had quietly stopped talking, you already know why telemetry health matters. This team needs someone who never wants to find out the hard way.

- Leading detection engineering, rule tuning and continuous mapping to MITRE ATT&CK
- Designing, building and refining SOAR workflows and automated incident response playbooks
- Monitoring, baselining and auditing log pipelines, so there are no blind spots
- Building API integrations and telemetry connectors across the security stack
- Turning threat intelligence into proactive hunts, and piloting agentic SOC workflows
- Acting as the technical quality lead for the managed provider, validating escalations and driving detection improvements
- Leading root cause analysis, threat modelling and post‑incident engineering improvements
What you’ll bring
- Extensive cyber security experience in a large enterprise environment
- Strong hands‑on experience across detection engineering, SOAR, SIEM and EDR
- Experience with API integrations, data parsing and log pipeline health
- A strong understanding of adversary TTPs and MITRE ATT&CK
