Are you passionate about staying one step ahead of cyber threats? We're looking for an experienced Senior Detection Engineer / Threat Detection Lead to take ownership of a growing threat detection capability within a highly regulated enterprise environment.
This is a strategic opportunity for someone who enjoys designing detection strategies, leading threat hunting initiatives, and improving cyber resilience rather than simply responding to security alerts.
What You'll Be Doing
- Design, develop, and continuously improve detection rules across SIEM and XDR platforms.
- Lead proactive threat hunting activities to identify advanced threats before they become incidents.
- Own the complete detection lifecycle, from creation and testing through to optimisation and retirement.
- Work closely with Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Red Team, and Purple Team functions.
- Build and enhance Detection-as-Code capabilities using modern engineering practices.
- Translate threat intelligence into meaningful, high-quality detections.
- Support cyber resilience programmes and strengthen the organisation's overall security posture.
- Provide technical leadership and mentor colleagues while helping shape the future direction of the detection capability.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in Detection Engineering, Threat Hunting, or Security Operations.
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar, or similar SIEM technologies.
- Experience working with MITRE ATT&CK, Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, and Purple Team engagements.
- Knowledge of Detection-as-Code, automation, CI/CD, Git, Python, or PowerShell is highly desirable.
- Strong stakeholder management and leadership skills.
- Experience within Financial Services, Critical Infrastructure, Government, or other highly regulated sectors is advantageous.
Languages
- Dutch - Required
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to take ownership of an organisation's detection strategy and play a key role in strengthening cyber defence. You'll work alongside experienced security professionals, influence security strategy, and help build a modern detection engineering capability from the ground up.
If you're ready to make a real impact in a senior technical leadership role, we'd love to hear from you.
