About the project
Our Security Operations team needs an experienced SecOps engineer to add capacity and cover holiday leave through to the new year. You’ll work as a hands-on member of the team rather than leading it. The team is small and busy, and year-end and the annual security audits are adding to the workload, so they need someone who can start quickly and take on work with little supervision.

What you’ll be doing

• Taking security incidents from detection through to resolution, including triage, investigation, containment and follow-up
• Working day to day with our outsourced SOC provider: reviewing escalations, challenging findings and making sure issues are closed out
• Monitoring alerts and investigating suspicious activity across our systems
• Helping with vulnerability management and remediation, working with IT Operations
• Supporting the team with evidence and remediation tasks during the audit period
• Being a reliable extra pair of hands so incidents are handled without senior leadership having to step in

What we’re looking for

• Several years in security operations or security engineering, beyond entry-level SOC analyst work
• Hands-on experience handling incidents from start to finish
• Experience working with or managing an outsourced or managed SOC / MSSP
• Strong SIEM and EDR skills
• Calm and reliable, able to settle in quickly and work independently
• Able to be on site in Glasgow as set out above

Nice to have

• Experience in a large, international enterprise environment
• Experience supporting security audits or compliance work
• Interest in a permanent role
