This role will be to join our detection engineering team, where you will focus on providing a tailored experience of custom detections to all our customers.\n\nAll customers have the benefit of access to NCC’s wide library of detections but there are many cases for exceptions and requirements for custom detections. This role sits at the pivotal point between our customers and the detection engineers. Together with (representatives of our) customers you will focus on assessing the gap and need for custom detections (on top of the deployment of detections from NCC’s detection library) to provide the appropriate level of detection each customer desires.\nKey Responsibilities\nSchedule and host threat workshops utilizing industry-approved methodologies such as DREAD or STRIDE.\nCorrelate log events in SIEM solutions with activities which have taken place in the (business) application or technology.\nQuery data ingested into customer SIEM environments to assess the practical feasibility of newly proposed detections. \nPrepare pseudo-logic and work packages for detection engineers who write detections-as-code within the NCC detection repository. \nDerive new generic detection opportunities from Threat Intelligence reports to further expand NCC’s detection library. \nIdentify potential abuse patterns in customer applications.\nQuery large datasets of data in SIEMs (Sentinel & Splunk). \nExplain (potential) attack paths to customers. \nWrite pseudo-logic for the development of new detections. \nTrack the status of detections under development and share status updates with the customer.\nObtain feedback from customers on exceptions and allowed behavior during the testing phase of the development of new analytics. \nEnsure work is up-to-date and tracked in (internal) ticketing system(s).\n\nSkills, Knowledge & Expertise\nExperience in detection engineering on a range of technologies (SIEM and EDR)\nOR \nExperience in SOC or Managed Detection Services\nOR \nExperience in Analytically-minded IT Systems administration/Network Administration and looking for a change in career/focus on Security\nExcellent oral and written communication skills.\nAbility to work with client engagement teams and NCC colleagues to continuously improve the service we deliver.\nGood understanding of IT Systems and platforms from a security context.\n Desired Requirements:\n\nA security mindset and demonstrable experience or knowledge of contemporary attack tactics and techniques.\nForensics or Incident Response competency would be considered valuable.\nStrong knowledge of the latest threats in security.\nThe skills to translate technical attacks to effects in the business (and vice versa).\nExperience in simulating attacks is considered an advantageous skill to enhance other skills\nExperience with SIEM tools, preferably Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel.\n\nAnd has knowledge of one or more of the below:\nAzure or other cloud technologies,\nWindows Active Directory,\nWindows Operating System fundamentals,\nNetworking fundamentals.\nSystem management technologies\nIdentity and access management procedures and technologies\n\nJob Benefits\nA good salary that matches the things you have already done and will do; \nFlexible working hours and flexibility in working from home or at the office, allowing you to optimally combine your private life with your work; \nA favorable pension scheme, 26 vacation days (+4 mandatory days off), and 8% holiday pay with a full-time contract; \nPlenty of development opportunities: you can gain and share knowledge through training, TechTalks, events, and our own Fox Academy; \nA laptop and business phone. If you use your own phone, you will receive a reimbursement of up to €25 per month; \nA remote work allowance (for hybrid working); \nA performance bonus and profit sharing because we value your effort; \nWhen we work in the office, we gather every day for a delicious lunch.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4061,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Penetration Testing","Information Security","Managed Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T12:51:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.282,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ncc-group-detection-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ncc-group-detection-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T10:59:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15728,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":43360},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=43360"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fncc-group-detection-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fncc-group-detection-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fncc-group-detection-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ncc-group-detection-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fncc-group-detection-engineer"}]}
