Partner with the best
You will command real-time detection, response, and full-lifecycle vulnerability management, ensuring every finding turns into measurable risk reduction. If you thrive on hunting threats, dialing down signal-to-noise, and driving remediation through to closure, this is your arena.
As a Senior SecOps Engineer, you will be responsible for:
- Run detection & response – monitor SIEM/EDR telemetry, triage alerts, contain and eradicate threats, then lead root-cause analysis and post-mortems.
- Engineer signal quality – design correlation searches, tune detection rules, and automate SOAR playbooks to cut false positives and shrink Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).
- Ingest and analyse vulnerabilities – pull findings from platforms such as Wiz, Vulcan, Grype, and Tenable; quantify infrastructure impact (exploitability, reachability, blast radius) to focus on what matters.
- Drive remediation governance – auto-create tickets, assign owners, enforce due dates, and verify fixes through rescans and evidence collection—no vulnerability left behind.
- Build visibility & KPIs – maintain live dashboards that track open vulnerabilities, remediation velocity, SLA adherence, MTTR/MTTD, patch age, and overall risk trends.
- Continuously harden controls – map emerging TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK) to current defenses, propose new detections and compensating safeguards across cloud, container, and on-prem estates.
Do what you love
To be successful in this role you will:
- Have proven and extensive experience in Security Operations / SOC / Incident Response, handling live incidents and vulnerability remediation programs end-to-end.
- Have mastery of SIEM (e.g., Splunk), SOAR (e.g., XSOAR) and EDR/NGAV tooling; ability to craft parsers, analytics, and automation scripts in Python, Bash, or Go.
- Have proven experience designing vulnerability-management dashboards and SLA tracking for leadership transparency.
- Have solid grasp of network protocols, Linux/Windows internals, and cloud telemetry (GCP or AWS) to pivot quickly during investigations.
- Have hands-on familiarity with modern vulnerability-management platforms and risk-based prioritisation models.
- Be comfortable presenting metrics, incident summaries, and remediation roadmaps to both engineers and executives.
