What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years' commercial experience working in a Cyber Security Engineer, Security Operations, or Infrastructure Security role.
  • Strong understanding of networking, cloud security, platform engineering, and security fundamentals.
  • Experience with SIEM technologies such as Splunk, Sentinel, ELK, Cribl, or similar.
  • Knowledge of Azure, AWS, or GCP cloud environments.
  • Scripting or programming experience using Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
  • Exposure to vulnerability management, IDS/IPS technologies, endpoint security, and security monitoring.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code technologies such as Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation would be advantageous.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills with a collaborative approach to security.

If you're looking to join a team where you'll work with cutting-edge security technologies, contribute to the protection of critical environments, and continue developing your cyber security career, we'd love to hear from you.
