£100,000 + benefits | Fully remote (including overseas work)
Are you ready to push the limits of Threat Intelligence and offensive security? We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer to help us enhance our ability to understand and detect how organisations could be compromised - in real time.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role for an experienced and highly technical professional who thrives on complex data challenges and wants to shape the future of proactive cyber defence.
What you'll do
Analyse and interpret large-scale honeypot datasets to uncover patterns, behaviours, and real-world attack techniques.
Design and deploy detections for both known and emerging exploits, translating raw telemetry into actionable intelligence.
Develop and maintain intelligence platforms capable of ingesting, analysing, and alerting on threats in real time.
Build scenarios and simulations based on live adversary data to support detection engineering, research, and reporting.
Collaborate across teams to ensure intelligence findings are rapidly operationalised and communicated to key stakeholders.
Produce clear, insightful intelligence reports that inform strategy, response, and prevention efforts.
What we're looking for
8+ years' experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on large-scale data analysis, threat intelligence, or offensive security.
Deep experience with honeypot data - analysing, correlating, and building scenarios from high-volume, real-world attack telemetry.
2+ years' experience specifically in a Threat Intelligence function.
Familiarity with threat actor tracking, vulnerability databases, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
Strong data analysis skills, ideally using the ELK stack (OpenSearch, Logstash, Kibana).
Intermediate proficiency in Python, capable of automating workflows and developing custom analysis tools.
Background in Incident Response or SOC operations is a plus.
Experience in a fast-paced, early-stage environment working with enterprise clients is highly desirable.
Why join us?
Cutting edge, industry defining work
Fully remote, work where suits you (so long as you're a UK domicile tax payer)
