We're looking for a mid-level Cyber Security Engineer to join Mecca Brands and help uplift and mature our enterprise security capability.
This is a hands‐on role suited to a well‐rounded engineer who enjoys building, integrating, tuning and optimising security controls across endpoint, identity, cloud and data protection, primarily within a Microsoft technology environment in large complex organisations.
The Role You Could Play
You'll play a key role in strengthening our security posture by:
* Owning and maintaining security configurations and policies across the Microsoft Defender suite
* Enterprise experience managing and optimising Defender for Cloud posture and recommendations in alignment with business risk priorities
* Enterprise experience administering and improving endpoint security controls via Intune, including antivirus configuration and Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) policies
* Supporting and enhancing data protection capabilities using Microsoft Purview (e.g., DLP and Information Protection features as in scope)
* Working closely with our external SOC/MDR provider to ensure detection coverage is effective, investigations are high quality, and remediation actions are appropriate and completed
* Collaborating with the SOC to review alerts, validate investigation outcomes and improve detection tuning and response workflows (including within Microsoft Sentinel)
* Supporting threat hunting and detection improvement activities by leveraging KQL and security telemetry to validate findings and challenge or refine SOC‐led investigations where required
* Assisting with incident response coordination, root‐cause support and tracking remediation actions through to closure
* Partnering with engineering and application teams to embed secure‐by‐design principles
* Producing clear documentation, runbooks and structured incident or control reporting
What You Will Bring
* 3–5+ years' experience in security engineering and/or security operations environments
* Hands‐on experience implementing and maintaining security controls in Microsoft‐centric environments
* Enterprise experience with endpoint security controls, ideally including Intune (AV configuration and ASR rules)
* Exposure to cloud security posture management concepts (Defender for Cloud experience advantageous)
* Working knowledge of SIEM/SOAR concepts and collaboration with SOC teams (Sentinel experience beneficial)
* Ability to review SOC investigations and outputs and ensure remediation actions are appropriate and effective
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to explain security issues to both technical and business stakeholders
* Strong documentation skills (runbooks, technical notes, incident summaries)
Certifications (Preferred)
* Security+ (or equivalent) preferred
* Microsoft security certifications (e.g., SC-200 / SC-300 / AZ-500) advantageous but not mandatory
Nice to Have
* Experience with CSPM tools
* Exposure to Microsoft Purview capabilities beyond core DLP/Information Protection
* Basic scripting or automation experience (PowerShell/Python)
* Familiarity with Zero Trust principles and identity security concepts
* Exposure to AI practices in multi‐layered organisations/environments will be highly regarded
