Senior Detection Engineer (Consultancy) - Remote (Southern England) Location: Home-based across the South - client site roughly once a fortnight Salary: £70,000 + £5,000 car allowance + £15,000 bonus (£90,000 total package) Detection engineering, done properly This isn't a deployment role and it isn't a monitoring role. You'll spend your time on the thing most detection engineers never get enough of: designing, writing and tuning the detection logic itself. You'll work across customer environments as part of an established Professional Services team, alongside the SOC Engineering function. Because this is a managed security service provider, you'll see more estates, more log sources and more genuinely different problems in a year than most in-house roles offer in five. The split is roughly 80/20 - the large majority of your week is hands-on detection and automation work, with the remainder client-facing: workshops, coverage assessments and walking customers through what you've built. Home-based, with client site visits roughly every couple of weeks. No on-call rota. No clearance requirement. What you'll be doing Designing and building detection rulesets across SIEM and XDR platforms Writing and tuning detection logic in KQL, cutting false positives without losing coverage Mapping customer log sources against use cases to identify and close coverage gaps Designing use cases aligned to MITRE ATT&CK Building SOAR automations and automated response workflows Writing incident response playbooks for customers Owning the detection-as-code approach - pipelines, version control, deployment Running workshops, coverage assessments and use case catalogues as customer deliverables What we're looking for Hands-on SIEM engineering experience, ideally Microsoft Sentinel Confident KQL - this is the core of the role SOAR playbook design in Azure Logic Apps, Cortex XSOAR or similar Scripting in Python or PowerShell, and comfort working with APIs Use case design against MITRE ATT&CK Working knowledge of XDR/EDR platforms and Azure telemetry sources Some exposure to NDR tooling such as Vectra AI or Corelight is a bonus Consultancy or customer-facing experience is valuable, but if you've built strong detection engineering skills in an in-house SOC and want to move into a client-facing role, we'd still like to hear from you. What's on offer £70,000 base, £5,000 car allowance and a £15,000 bonus Home-based across Southern England, with client visits around once a fortnight No on-call, no shift rota No security clearance required Roughly 80% hands-on engineering, 20% client-facing Technical ownership of the detection-as-code practice Certification and training support with a clear progression path Exposure to enterprise security estates across multiple industries How to apply Apply through Reed with an up-to-date CV, or get in touch for a confidential conversation.

You'll be the engineer behind the SOC - designing and running the Microsoft security platform the analysts depend on. If you've spent time in a SOC wishing you could fix the tooling rather than work around it, this is that job. You'll join an established Security Operations team as new headcount, reporting to the Lead SOC Engineer.

What you'll be doing Designing and maintaining the SIEM and XDR platform - data ingestion, log parsing and normalisation, retention, performance Writing and tuning detections in KQL, and building automation to cut manual analyst effort Scripting custom connectors and integrations across the security toolset Leading the technical onboarding of new customers alongside SOC Operations Acting as senior escalation for complex engineering issues Supporting and mentoring engineers and analysts across the team What we're looking for Around 3-5 years in a Security Operations Centre in an engineering or platform capacity Strong Microsoft Sentinel experience, with confident KQL Hands-on with Microsoft Defender and the wider Microsoft security stack - Intune, Entra ID, Defender for Endpoint Exposure to endpoint tooling such as CrowdStrike, Carbon Black or Darktrace Scripting in Python or PowerShell for automation and log analysis Some vulnerability management experience - Tenable, Rapid7, Qualys or similar Automation and orchestration exposure - Logic Apps, Cortex XSOAR or similar - is welcome but not essential Eligible for UK SC or DV security clearance - essential Experience at an MSSP, MDR provider or security reseller is a real advantage, though we're equally happy to hear from strong in-house SOC engineers. You don't need every tool on this list. Strong Sentinel and KQL with a willingness to develop the rest is enough. What's on offer Up to £65,000 depending on experience Fully home-based, with two paid trips a month to Basingstoke Genuine 9-to-5 - no shift rota, no on-call New headcount in a growing team Access to lab environments, cyber ranges and hands-on training labs Certification and training support with a clear technical progression path Exposure to enterprise security estates across multiple industries How to apply Apply through Reed with an up-to-date CV, or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
