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
