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.

This role offers hybrid / remote working options, a salary range of £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

What You’ll Bring

Must‑Have Skills & Experience

• Previously worked as a Threat Detection Engineer or in a similar role
• Strong proficiency in KQL and hands‑on experience with Microsoft Sentinel
• Familiarity with Microsoft Defender tools (Endpoint & O365)
• Exposure to Azure cloud logging and Kubernetes environments
• Knowledge of attacker TTPs and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks
• Proactive, collaborative, and innovative mindset

Desirable / Nice‑to‑Have

• Experience with Python, Terraform, or CI/CD pipelines
