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.

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
