Cyber Threat Detection Analyst

Location: Berkshire (On-site)
Salary: Competitive (dependent on experience) + excellent benefits & training
Security Clearance: Ideally SC Cleared or eligible for SC (UK Nationals only)

Company Overview

An exciting opportunity to join a global technology Powerhouse with a highly regarded cyber security capability supporting mission-critical environments across multiple industries.

Cyber security sits at the heart of the organisation’s operations, with sustained investment in people, tooling, threat intelligence, and continuous professional development. The security function operates at a mature level, bringing together blue team, red team, threat hunting, and collaborative purple-team practices to proactively defend against real-world adversaries.

Role Overview

As a Cyber Threat Detection Analyst, you will play a hands-on role within an advanced cyber defence function, focused on proactive threat hunting, adversary behaviour analysis, and high-fidelity threat detection across enterprise environments.

This role goes beyond reactive alert handling. You will actively hunt for malicious activity using telemetry, SIEM data, and threat intelligence, develop hypotheses based on MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and support incident management and response activities when threats are identified.

We are open to experienced SOC Analysts where threat hunting, investigations, and proactive detection have formed a significant part of their role, and who are looking to further develop in a more hunting-led environment.

This position is well suited to analysts who enjoy thinking like an attacker, have worked alongside or supported red team or purple team activities, and want to deepen their expertise in threat detection and detection engineering.

Skills & Experience We’re Seeking

• Experience in threat hunting, cyber threat detection, SOC, blue team, or cyber defence environments, with ideally around five years hands on experience.
• Strong hands-on experience using SIEM platforms, including:

• Microsoft Sentinel (KQL)
• Splunk (SPL)
• Elastic Security/Kibana (KQL, ESQL)

• Practical and operational understanding of MITRE ATT&CK, attacker techniques, and adversary tradecraft
• Experience working with Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and threat intelligence feeds
• Solid experience across the security event life cycle, including detection, investigation, and incident management
• Hands-on experience with EDR/XDR technologies such as Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Carbon Black
• Strong knowledge of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, Firewalls, VPNs, Proxy technologies)
• Experience analysing telemetry from Windows, Linux, identity, endpoint, and network sources
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to clearly communicate findings, impact, and risk

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct proactive threat hunting activities across log, endpoint, and network telemetry to identify suspicious, stealthy, or previously unknown threats
• Develop and execute hunt hypotheses aligned to MITRE ATT&CK TTPs, adversary behaviours, and emerging threat intelligence
• Write, refine, and optimise SIEM queries using KQL, SPL, Elastic/ESQL, and Kibana Query Language
• Perform IOC analysis, enrichment, and validation, integrating internal and external threat intelligence sources
• Lead investigations from initial detection through scoping, root cause analysis, and impact assessment
• Support incident management and incident response activities, including containment, remediation, escalation, and lessons learned
• Collaborate closely with SOC teams, incident responders, red teams, and purple teams to validate detections and improve defensive coverage
• Contribute to detection logic improvements, use-case development, and continuous enhancement of hunting methodologies
• Produce clear investigation write-ups, timelines, and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders

Particularly Interested In Candidates With

• Experience supporting or collaborating with Red Team or Purple Team exercises
• Exposure to adversary emulation, attack simulation, detection validation, or detection engineering
• Experience working in regulated, high-security, or mission-critical environments
• Background in advanced SOC functions with a strong emphasis on investigation and threat hunting

Security Certifications (Highly Beneficial)

• SANS/GIAC certifications, including but not limited to:

• GCIH - Incident Handler
• GCIA - Intrusion Analyst
• GCED - Enterprise Defender
• GCTI - Cyber Threat Intelligence
• GMON - Continuous Monitoring

• Crest Registered Intrusion Analyst (CRIA)
• Crest Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CCTIA)
• Crest Certified Blue Team Professional (CCBTP)

• Microsoft SC-200 or related detection and response certifications
• Other recognised cyber security or threat intelligence credentials

Why Join?

Threat-hunting-led role within a mature cyber defence organisation
Exposure to real adversary behaviour, Red Team activity, and advanced attack scenarios
Competitive salary with an excellent benefits package
Significant investment in training, certifications, and long-term career progression
Opportunity to work alongside experienced Blue, Red, and Purple Team professionals

About Adecco

Adecco is acting as an Employment Agency. We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We are on the client’s supplier list for this role.

We re looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to design and deliver production-grade AI-powered features within a modern .NET product environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on applying AI in real systems not training models. You ll work with commercial AI platforms such as Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, and OpenAI to build reliable, scalable, and observable features that ship to users.

You ll also play a key role in shaping how AI is adopted across the engineering team setting standards, introducing tooling, and leading by example through high-quality, AI-assisted development practices.

This role suits someone who has already successfully integrated AI into production products and can bring proven patterns into a growing team.

What You ll Do

• Design and build AI-powered product features within a C# / .NET ecosystem
• Integrate commercial AI APIs into production systems with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost control
• Establish and promote best practices for applied AI engineering across the codebase
• Lead by example using AI-assisted development workflows
• Support and mentor engineers adopting tools such as Claude Code or Cursor
• Build systems with strong observability, logging, and guardrails
• Contribute to clean, well-structured, and versioned RESTful APIs
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver user-facing AI capabilities

Must Have

• 7+ years of commercial software engineering experience
• 5+ years working with C# / .NET (Core)
• Proven experience designing and shipping AI integrations in production
• Strong experience integrating paid AI APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock)
• Demonstrated ability to set patterns and standards adopted by other engineers
• Hands-on experience introducing AI-assisted development tools into a team
• Strong REST API design skills (clean, versioned, observable)
• Solid SQL experience (MariaDB or MySQL)
• A strong focus on quality, resilience, and maintainability

Nice to Have

• Experience with AWS (EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, Bedrock)
• Practical experience with prompt design, iteration, and evaluation
• Familiarity with structured outputs, tool use, or function calling
• Frontend exposure (JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt 3)
• Experience working in microservices or distributed systems
• Familiarity with Shape Up methodology
• Awareness of secure-by-design principles (e.g. ISO 27001)

Not the Right Fit If You

• Focus on training or fine-tuning models rather than applying them
• Come from a purely data science or research background
• Prefer Python-heavy environments and don t want to work in .NET
• Are sceptical of AI-assisted development workflows
• Haven t worked with commercial AI APIs in production
• Are looking for a strategy-only or non-hands-on role

Why Join Us

• Work on real-world AI features used in production
• Be part of a team where AI is treated as an engineering discipline, not a buzzword
• Influence how AI is adopted across the organisation
• Hybrid working (2 days in the office)
• Dedicated training and development budget
• Clear opportunities for career progression

If you want to build high-quality, production AI systems and help shape how modern engineering teams apply AI in practice, we d love to hear from you.
