Summary
IDS‑INDATA is looking for a Senior Security Operations Centre (SOC) Engineer to lead the investigation, validation, and management of complex cyber security events across customer environments, including both IT and operational technology (OT) networks. The successful candidate will analyse high-priority alerts, determine their impact, and provide clear, actionable guidance to support customers in responding effectively to potential threats. Working with advanced monitoring platforms and threat intelligence, the role is critical in ensuring that genuine threats are identified quickly and handled in a consistent and controlled manner.
The role will focus on investigating escalated incidents, performing in-depth analysis of system, network, and security data, and supporting the containment and mitigation of risks through clear recommendations. In addition, the Senior SOC Engineer will be responsible for improving IDS‑INDATA’s detection capability by refining alerting rules, developing detection use cases, and reducing false positives through tuning and optimisation. This includes creating and maintaining operational playbooks and ensuring that all investigations are documented in line with reporting and compliance requirements.
As a senior member of the SOC team, the successful candidate will act as an escalation point for critical incidents and provide technical leadership and support to junior analysts. They will work closely with engineering, delivery, and customer teams to ensure that IDS‑INDATA’s managed detection services remain effective, scalable, and aligned to evolving threats and customer requirements, while maintaining a high standard of service delivery.
