For this role we’re primarily looking for someone with Sentinel detection engineering experience.

What you’ll be doing

  • CI/CD – Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure detection content is managed in a scalable and repeatable way.
  • Attacker Emulation – Replicate attacker techniques to prove detection rules work and assumptions are valid.
  • Client Engagement – Work closely with clients to understand their security needs, provide expert advice, and ensure satisfaction with services.
  • Technical Leadership – Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members and share knowledge with wider MSS teams.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, Go or Shell
  • Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools e.g. bicep
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab, CircleCI, Azure DevOps)
  • Ability to explain complex security topics in an understandable manner
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure
  • Knowledge of networking, firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, and other security technologies, including on-premises infrastructure, and how these integrate into SOC monitoring
  • Expertise in security information and event management (SIEM) systems, preferably Splunk / Azure Sentinel

Nice to have

  • You have experience in similar DE roles in an MSSP setting
  • You have hands-on experience in adversary emulation or similar
