## Description

Our Security Operations team needs an experienced SecOps engineer to add capacity and cover holiday leave through to the new year. You'll work as a hands-on member of the team rather than leading it. The team is small and busy, and year-end and the annual security audits are adding to the workload, so they need someone who can start quickly and take on work with little supervision.

What you'll be doing

 * Taking security incidents from detection through to resolution, including triage, investigation, containment and follow-up
 * Working day to day with our outsourced SOC provider: reviewing escalations, challenging findings and making sure issues are closed out
 * Monitoring alerts and investigating suspicious activity across our systems
 * Helping with vulnerability management and remediation, working with IT Operations
 * Supporting the team with evidence and remediation tasks during the audit period
 * Being a reliable extra pair of hands so incidents are handled without senior leadership having to step in
