Job Description

Detection & Response Analyst (SOC / Security Engineering Pathway)

Portsmouth (Hybrid)

Why this role is different

Most SOC roles are alert-heavy and repetitive.

This isn’t one of them.

You’ll be joining a team that’s actively moving beyond traditional SOC work—focusing on threat detection, automation, and security engineering, not just ticket handling.

If you’re looking to step up from SOC OR move closer to engineering / threat hunting, this is a genuine pathway role.

What you’ll be doing

  * Investigating and responding to security incidents across enterprise environments

  * Building and improving SIEM detection rules / use cases

  * Working with security tooling (EDR, SIEM, cloud security platforms)

  * Supporting threat hunting and proactive detection activities

  * Collaborating with engineering teams to improve automation and response

  * Contributing to continuous improvement of security operations

What we’re looking for

We’re open to people from a range of backgrounds, including SOC, SecOps, or infrastructure with security exposure.

You might have:

  * Experience in a SOC, SecOps, or similar security-focused role

  * Exposure to tools like SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, etc.) or EDR

  * Understanding of common attack techniques (MITRE ATT&CK, incident response basics)

  * An interest in detection engineering, automation, or threat hunting

Not ticking every box? That’s fine—we’re hiring for potential as well as experience.

Progression & development

This role is designed as a stepping stone into more advanced security work, including:

  * Threat Hunting

  * Detection Engineering

  * Security Engineering / Automation

  * Incident Response

You’ll be supported with training, certifications, and hands-on exposure to modern tooling.

Working setup

  * Hybrid

  * Flexible working environment

  * Portsmouth office for collaboration when needed

Why join?

  * Clear progression beyond traditional SOC work

  * Opportunity to work on modern security tooling and detection engineering

  * Supportive team environment with real development focus

  * Chance to build skills that are highly in demand across cyber security
