Cyber Security Engineer

Harvey Nash UK • Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire • 4d ago

🚀 I am currently looking for 2 experienced Cyber Security Engineers (DV Cleared) for a client, based in Milton Keynes with occasional travel to London.

🔒 DV Clearance is essential - applicants without current clearance unfortunately cannot be considered.

About the Role:

These roles sit within a client's Cybersecurity Operations function. You will play a key part in designing, implementing, and maintaining the platforms that support enterprise-scale security operations. From SIEM and log collection to endpoint detection, automation, and integration, you'll help ensure the SOC team has the reliable and scalable infrastructure it needs to detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

Responsibilities:

Manage and optimise SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, open-source alternatives) across hybrid-cloud environments
Configure and maintain log/data pipelines from endpoints, cloud services, and network devices
Ensure high availability, reliability, and performance of core security platforms
Integrate new security tools into the ecosystem, including automation via APIs, scripting, and AI
Maintain clear documentation, diagrams, and procedures to support knowledge sharing and consistency

Skills & Experience:

Strong hands-on experience with SIEM technologies (Splunk, Sentinel, etc.)
Knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and hybrid environments
Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell) for automation and integration
Experience with SOAR and SecDevOps practices (Git, GitHub, Azure DevOps, CI/CD)
Good understanding of frameworks such as NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, CAF
Background in Incident Response or SOC analysis is highly valued

Soft Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
Effective communication and collaboration skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

🎓 Certifications (Splunk, Microsoft, SANS, etc.) are desirable but not required.

📍 Location: Milton Keynes (with some travel to London)

👥 Positions: 2 available

If you're DV cleared and want to take on a challenging and rewarding role with a leading organisation, I'd love to hear from you.
