We're looking for a Senior SOC L3 Detection Engineer to strengthen an enterprise security operation, with a strong focus on detection engineering, SIEM and threat detection.

What you'll be doing

• Design, build and optimise advanced SIEM detection rules and correlation logic

• Translate threat intelligence, TTPs and IOCs into effective detections

• Tune alerts and significantly reduce false positives

• Onboard, parse and normalise security logs across enterprise environments

• Support complex incident investigations and threat hunting

• Develop SOAR playbooks, automation and security integrations

• Improve detection coverage, SOC efficiency and security monitoring capabilities

• Work across SIEM, EDR/XDR, IAM, cloud and wider security tooling

• Strong hands-on Detection Engineering / SIEM Engineering experience

• Proven experience writing and tuning detection logic

• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex security concepts clearly AI experience is beneficial but not essential - strong detection engineering is the priority.

Experience within automotive or manufacturing is advantageous but not required.

If you're a hands-on L3 security engineer who enjoys building better detections rather than simply responding to alerts, we'd like to hear from you.
