    Description

    Overview

    I am hiring a Defensive Security Consultant on behalf of a German cyber‑security consultancy specialising in detecting and responding to cyberattacks. The firm helps organisations assess and improve their cyber‑defence capabilities, build or optimise SOCs and incident response teams, integrate SIEM/EDR/XDR tooling, and conduct forensic and compromise assessments. They focus on practical, efficient cyber defence measures with tailored strategies and flexible service delivery. With a strong emphasis on real‑world threat detection, response, and continuous improvement, they support clients across sectors in strengthening their security posture.

    Responsibilities

    • Develop, plan, and strengthen SOC and Incident Response capabilities, including team setup, processes, playbooks, and maturity improvements.
    • Integrate and optimise security tooling such as SIEM, EDR/XDR, and SOAR, to improve detection, alerting, incident validation, and response workflows.
    • Conduct forensic investigations and incident analysis, including log review, root cause identification, containment actions, and reporting.
    • Lead compromise assessments, planning, organising, and executing assessments to determine if systems have been breached and recommend mitigation actions.
    • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and clients, communicate findings clearly, and support the evolution of detection and response services.

    Qualifications – Essential

    • 3+ years of hands‑on defensive security experience, especially in SOC operations, incident response, and forensic analysis.
    • Strong knowledge of SIEM, IR, SOC functionality, and understanding of how security tools interoperate in a defense ecosystem.
    • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain security issues clearly to technical teams and stakeholders in both German and English – minimum C1 level German.
    • Analytical and structured approach to problem‑solving and continuous improvement of security practices.

    Qualifications – Desirable

    • Relevant certifications e.g. GSOC, GCIH, BTL2 etc.
    • Professional consulting experience with customers or varied environments.

    Benefits

    • Young & forward‑thinking team: Join a dynamic, agile, and collaborative cybersecurity company focused on innovation and impact.
    • Big investment in your development: Up to €7,500 annual training budget to level up your skills and certifications.
    • Work how you want: Up to €5,000 home office equipment budget and flexible work arrangements to help you do your best work.
    • Generous time‑off & wellbeing benefits: 32 days of holiday, fitness and club memberships supported, plus personal growth opportunities.
    • Tech freedom: Choose your own laptop and tools – no mandated tech stack, just what lets you be most productive.
