Full job description

Description

NCC Group is looking for a Detection Engineer to join the Detection Engineering team. The role will focus on developing, maintaining, and improving Splunk-based security detections across cloud, infrastructure, and custom log sources.

Create detections for areas such as:
- cloud security monitoring and cloud control-plane activity,
- infrastructure, platform, and access-related security events,
- bespoke assurance use cases based on customer-specific log sources,
- suspicious or anomalous activity identified through threat models, security testing.
Review existing detection coverage and identify gaps.
Assess new log sources and define detection use cases.
Map detections to MITRE ATT&CK, risk scenarios, and assurance requirements where relevant.
Tune detections to reduce false positives and improve analyst usability.
Document detection purpose, logic, alerting criteria, data source, MITRE mapping, false positives, and investigation guidance.
Support SOC analysts with alert context and investigation advice.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Candidates do not need to meet every requirement, but should have experience in some of the following:

Splunk SPL or similar query language.
Security detection engineering, SIEM engineering, threat hunting, or security monitoring.
Cloud audit logs, especially AWS; GCP or OCI experience is also useful.
MITRE ATT&CK and common attacker behaviours.
Kubernetes or container security monitoring.
Cloud security concepts such as IAM, KMS, security groups, route tables, ACLs, object storage, and service accounts.
Use of allowlists, thresholds, baselines, aggregation, and anomaly-style detection logic.
Regex and basic scripting, e.g. Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
Documentation using Jira, JSM, Confluence, or similar tools.

Desirable Experience:

Experience with Splunk Enterprise Security and Splunk Security Essentials.
Experience writing or tuning scheduled alerts..
Experience reviewing threat models, security testing outputs, or assurance requirements.
Experience using a detection as code deployment pipeline.

Generous Holiday Allowance: Enjoy 25 days of holiday, plus bank holidays, with the option to buy up to 5 additional days of annual leave.
