Security Engineer - (Detection & Response)

Own the platforms at the heart of modern security operations

We're looking for a Senior Security Operations Engineer to take ownership of a sophisticated detection and response environment, spanning EDR/XDR, detection engineering, cloud security posture, SOAR and AI-assisted security operations .

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who wants more than simply operating security tooling. You'll help shape how the platforms are configured, integrated and automated - building detection capability as code and helping develop the next generation of AI-assisted investigation and response.

You'll work across technologies including CrowdStrike Falcon, Next-Gen SIEM, CSPM/CNAPP platforms, Python, APIs, Git and CI/CD , with opportunities to work on AI agents and emerging security automation capabilities.

What you'll be doing

- Own and enhance the EDR/XDR platform stack end-to-end , including policy configuration, tuning, custom detection rules and real-time response.
- Develop capabilities across identity threat detection and response (ITDR) and exposure management.
- Build and improve detection engineering as code , working closely with security analysts.
- Help develop AI-assisted investigation and triage capabilities, including agents within Charlotte AI / CrowdStrike .
- Build feedback loops between detections, investigations and platform integrations to continually improve security outcomes.
- Develop and integrate SOAR and automation capabilities within a Next-Gen SIEM environment.
- Own cloud and SaaS security posture , including CSPM/CNAPP onboarding, policies, frameworks, runtime security, secrets and identity scanning.




- Integrate cloud security posture capabilities with SIEM and the broader security operations ecosystem.
- Build integrations and automation using Python and APIs , supported by Git and CI/CD practices.

What we're looking for

You'll bring strong hands-on security engineering experience and genuine depth across modern detection and response platforms.

- Deep technical expertise with enterprise EDR/XDR platforms , ideally CrowdStrike Falcon .
- Strong CSPM/CNAPP and cloud security posture experience, with Wiz highly regarded.
- Hands-on detection engineering experience, including managing the detection lifecycle as code.
- Experience with security platform query languages such as CQL or equivalent .
- Strong SOAR, automation and security integration experience.
- Practical development capability with Python and APIs .
- Experience working with Git and CI/CD pipelines .

Highly regarded

Experience with any of the following will set you apart:

- CrowdStrike across EDR, Next-Gen SIEM, Cloud Security and related capabilities.
- Wiz .
- AI-assisted security operations and building AI agents .
- Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR ).
- Security across AWS, Azure and/or GCP .
- Advanced detection engineering and security automation.

Why consider this prospect?

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a modern SecOps platform environment rather than simply maintaining existing tooling.

You'll work at the intersection of security engineering, detection and response, cloud security, automation and AI , helping build capabilities that directly improve how threats are identified, investigated and contained.
