Job description

Senior SOC Analysts - Multiple Opportunities

Farnborough | Fully On-Site | 24/7 Shift Pattern

Salary + Shift Allowance | DV Clearance Eligibility Required

Enjoy the investigation side of SOC work? There’s plenty to get into here.

I’m recruiting for several Senior SOC Analysts to join a growing SOC in Farnborough, supporting defence and national security environments.

You’ll investigate complex incidents, hunt for threats and help improve the detections and processes the team relies on. These roles would suit experienced analysts who enjoy following an investigation through and taking ownership when things get challenging.

What you’ll be doing

Investigating and triaging complex security alerts across SIEM, EDR, network traffic and log data

Supporting incident response, containment and escalation

Threat hunting using MITRE ATT&CK and knowledge of attacker techniques

Developing and tuning detection rules, use cases and playbooks

Producing clear incident reports and sharing findings with colleagues and stakeholders

Helping improve the SOC’s capability and effectiveness

What you’ll bring

Strong experience in a SOC or security operations environment

Hands-on SIEM skills across Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic or similar

A solid background in incident investigation and response

Confidence analysing endpoint, network and security logs

Good networking knowledge, including TCP/IP, DNS and HTTP

Experience with EDR, firewalls, IDS/IPS and wider security tooling

Sound judgement around prioritisation and escalation

Location, shifts and clearance

These positions are fully on-site in Farnborough, working a 24/7 shift pattern, with a shift allowance paid alongside your salary.

You must be eligible to obtain DV clearance. British citizenship and the required UK residency history are essential (last 10 years spent in the UK), with eligibility subject to the vetting process.

If you’re an experienced SOC Analyst interested in working in defence and national security, apply or message me for a confidential chat about the roles
