Threat Detection Engineer : Hybrid / Remote

Join a well-established biotech company using large-scale genetic data and AI to predict disease risk and advance precision healthcare. We’re looking for a Threat Detection Engineer who thrives on innovation and technical ownership. This role is not a traditional SOC position; you’ll focus on building high-impact detection capabilities, shaping how security protects sensitive genomic and AI-driven data at scale. Hybrid / remote working options, salary range of GBP 60,000-80,000 and benefits.

Why This Role is Exciting

• High autonomy: Lead projects from idea to deployment
• Innovation-driven: Develop cutting-edge detections beyond standard SIEM rules
• Collaborative: Work closely with internal teams and an outsourced SOC partner
• Mission-focused: Protect critical healthcare data that supports precision medicine

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop threat-led detections using threat intelligence and threat-hunting outputs
• Create novel analytic techniques for incident detection
• Collaborate with an MSP SOC to maintain and tune the detection catalogue
• Build automated reporting dashboards using Microsoft Sentinel workbooks
• Support security initiatives including ISO 27001 activities and KQL-based tasks
• Ensure monitoring coverage across cloud platforms, SaaS apps, and internal systems
• Contribute to documentation of processes, tools, and detection logic
