Senior Security Engineering Consultant
£85,000 package | Hybrid (2 days per week onsite + UK client visits) | 🇬🇧 UK-based
Are you the kind of security engineer who builds things, not just maintains them?
The kind who loves automating, scripting, integrating APIs, and turning chaos into clean, scalable systems?
If so, this is your chance to join one of the UK's fastest-growing Security Operations Engineering teams - a small, elite group known for delivering real impact to enterprise SOCs across the country.
What's in it for you
- Ownership & Autonomy: You won't just follow a process, you'll create it. The team's culture is built on innovation and trust.
- Cutting-Edge Projects: From building SOAR playbooks and API integrations to designing full automation frameworks - your work will directly shape how customers run their SOCs.
- Serious Tech Exposure: Get hands-on with SOAR (XSOAR, Logic Apps, Siemplify), SIEM (Sentinel, Chronicle), Python/PowerShell scripting, and cloud security tooling across Azure, AWS, and GCP.
- High Performance Environment: Join a 9-person team that's currently the most profitable division in the business - engineers who love to solve problems and push boundaries.
- Progression: As the function expands, you'll have the chance to build your own specialism or sub-function, whether that's automation, exposure management, or advanced threat engineering.
What You'll Be Doing
- Deliver hands-on security engineering and automation projects for enterprise clients.
- Build custom integrations, playbooks, and scripts to streamline SOC operations.
- Optimise SIEM detection logic and vulnerability management workflows.
- Collaborate with technical teams on innovation, labs, and roadmap projects.
- Act as a trusted consultant - parachuting in, solving problems fast, and moving on to the next challenge.
What We're Looking For
- Background in SOC, Security Engineering, or Automation - ideally customer-facing.
- Python / PowerShell / REST API scripting ability.
- Experience with SOAR or SIEM platforms (any modern stack).
- Someone who's hands-on, curious, and solutions-driven.
- Not a corporate consultant, we want builders, problem solvers, and innovators.
The Package
- £85,000 total package
- Hybrid working - typically 2 days per week onsite (Basingstoke area) + client travel
- All travel expenses covered
- Work with cutting-edge tooling and shape the future of SOC automation in the UK
This is a team where engineers have a voice, if you've ever wanted to take control, build from the ground up, and see your work make a tangible difference, this is your opportunity.
