Security Operations Specialist

At Deliveroo, it is our mission to build the definitive food company. In order to do that, we’re building a company where everyone can belong, grow and do the best work of their lives. 

As a Security Operations Specialist you’ll be part of a growing Security Operations team who are focused on detecting attacks against a backdrop of an ever-advancing cyber threat landscape with automation at the heart of everything we do. You’ll be responsible for advancing our threat detection capabilities by triaging and analysing alerts, growing our detection footprint and supporting wider incident response processes spanning the breadth of the cyber kill chain. While we have some practices in place, you’ll need to help develop our processes and technology requirements to best support our Security maturity journey.

The role is a unique opportunity to get hands-on with industry-leading security technology and help grow a capability to detect, analyse and respond to security incidents. As we continue to grow our business, your specialist capabilities will play a key part in our story.
