Senior Security Engineering Consultant vacancy in Remote (121lw)

Senior Security Engineering Consultant (Remote)

Region: London and South East, Remote/Home working.

Are you an experienced cyber professional from a military or Defence background looking to step into a more consultative, project led role? We're supporting a rapidly growing cyber security organisation that is actively investing in ex military talent and building a high performing Security Operations capability. This role is ideal for someone who has already transitioned (or is close to transitioning) and wants to move into a client facing, engineering focused consultancy position.

This is not a traditional SOC role. You'll work across a range of customer environments, helping design, build, and improve Security Operations capabilities-from SIEM and SOAR implementations through to automation, detection engineering, and cloud security assessments. Roughly 50% project delivery (client facing consultancy) and 50% internal engineering, innovation, and capability development. A remote role with occasional travel to the South East office.

You do not need experience with every commercial tool-training is provided. This role suits either ex military candidates who have already gained some commercial or advanced technical exposure, or service leavers with strong cyber/SOC experience and the confidence to step into a consultative role.

What You'll Be Doing

• Delivering security engineering projects across SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms
• Designing and building automation playbooks and integrations
• Conducting cloud (Azure focused) security health checks
• Developing detection rules, log parsing, and correlation logic
• Supporting vulnerability and exposure management programmes
• Working closely with internal engineering teams to improve tooling and processes
• Acting as a trusted technical advisor to customers

Essential Qualifications

• Experience working in a SOC or CDOC (Cyber Defence Operations Centre) environment
• Strong understanding of security monitoring, incident response and threat behaviours (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK)
• Hands on experience with at least one SIEM / SOAR / XDR platform
• Ability to take a problem and engineer a solution end to end
• Strong communication skills and ability to engage with stakeholders

Ideal but not Essential

• Experience with cloud security (Azure preferred)
• Exposure to automation or scripting (e.g. Python, APIs)
• Experience in advisory, design, or project based work

For Military Candidates

• Experience at commissioned / supervisory level OR exposure to advisory or capability development work
• Have worked in a SOC, CDOC or cyber operations environment
• Experience analysing threats, logs, or incidents
• Exposure to secure networks or defence systems
• A mindset focused on problem solving, adaptability, and ownership

This is a fast paced, collaborative, people first culture where people genuinely support one another. Clear progression pathways, funded certifications, and structured training plans.
