This is not a traditional SOC Analyst position. We are looking for technically strong Microsoft Security Engineers with genuine hands-on experience designing, implementing, engineering and optimising Microsoft Sentinel and Defender solutions within enterprise customer environments. The organisation works extensively across the Microsoft Security portfolio and is looking for individuals who can bring significant technical depth while remaining hands-on with complex customer environments. The Role Working alongside Security Engineers, SOC Analysts and wider delivery teams, you will take responsibility for the implementation, optimisation and ongoing improvement of Microsoft security solutions. Responsibilities will include: Design, implementation and support of Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender / Defender XDR Engineering and optimisation of SIEM capabilities across enterprise environments Developing and tuning KQL queries, analytics and detection rules Designing and implementing SOC automation, playbooks and scripting Improving security event detection and response capabilities Conducting Microsoft tenant health checks, security audits and architecture reviews Analysing cloud security risks and recommending appropriate security controls Supporting complex incident triage and resolution Designing and documenting security engineering standards and processes Researching and implementing new Microsoft security capabilities Producing high-quality technical and customer-facing documentation Working directly with customers and technical stakeholders Supporting and mentoring more junior members of the engineering team Essential Experience To be considered, you should have strong commercial experience across the following: Microsoft Sentinel / Azure Sentinel Microsoft Defender / Defender XDR Strong KQL / Kusto Query Language capability Security Engineering, SOC Engineering or Microsoft Security Consulting SIEM engineering rather than solely alert monitoring or incident triage Detection engineering and security monitoring optimisation Automation, scripting, SOAR or Sentinel playbooks Cloud security assessments, controls and risk analysis Designing and documenting security processes Customer-facing technical delivery Candidates whose experience is predominantly L1/L2 SOC monitoring without hands-on Sentinel and Defender engineering are unlikely to be suitable for this position. Highly Desirable Experience across any of the following would be particularly valuable: Microsoft Purview Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Defender for Cloud Defender for Identity Defender for Office 365 Microsoft Entra ID Intune Azure security architecture Logic Apps / Sentinel playbooks PowerShell or Python MITRE ATT&CK Microsoft Security architecture and tenant assessments Previous experience working directly for Microsoft , or within a leading Microsoft Security Partner, MSSP or specialist Microsoft consultancy, would be highly advantageous.

The Opportunity This is an opportunity to join a highly specialised Microsoft Security environment rather than a broad IT or generalist cybersecurity function. You'll work alongside experienced security professionals on complex customer engagements, with significant exposure to the wider Microsoft Security ecosystem and continued investment in technical training and development. The position would particularly suit an established Microsoft Security Engineer who wants to remain technically hands-on while taking greater ownership of solution design, engineering standards, customer environments and the development of security operations capabilities.
