Job Description

Security Engineer - (Detection & Response)

n

Own the platforms at the heart of modern security operations

n

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.

n

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.

n

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.

n

What you'll be doing

n

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




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

n

What we're looking for

n

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

n

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

n

Highly regarded

n

Experience with any of the following will set you apart:

n

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

n

Why consider this opportunity?

n

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

n

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.
