Incident Response Engineer

Incident Response Consultants play a key role in supporting customers through cybersecurity incidents by coordinating the response between the customer, DFIR consultants, and other technical teams.

This is a customer-facing role focused on incident coordination, communication, and ensuring that response activities progress effectively from initial engagement through to resolution. You will work closely with DFIR consultants who conduct the technical investigation, while helping customers understand what is happening, what information or actions are required, and what the next steps are.

You do not need to be a digital forensics specialist. However, you will need a strong understanding of enterprise technology and cybersecurity concepts, combined with excellent communication, organisation, and stakeholder management skills. Previous experience supporting or coordinating cybersecurity incidents will be highly valued.
