[Hiring] Cyber Security Engineer - Incident Response & Crisis Simulation @Immersive

Role Description

Immersive is hiring! Could you be our next Cyber Security Engineer?

Due to customer demand and increasing maturity within our platform, we have an exciting and challenging opportunity for an experienced cyber professional within the defensive security sector - with expertise in blue team engagements and crisis response - to join our Product team as a Cyber Security Engineer focused on Defensive content.

If successful, you will join our Cyber team working closely with our Cyber Team Leads as we embark on this exciting new phase of product development within our market-leading cyber resilience platform.

This isn’t an ordinary blue team role - we know everyone claims this and will tell you their role is super unique…but this one really is.

• You are constantly researching, learning, and geeking out on all things defensive security related, from blue teaming to crisis simulation and response to the latest AI-driven attacks, and then taking that knowledge and creating labs and ranges.
• You will be a key player in our Blue Team Content team, shaping and influencing the rollout of our defensive security and crisis simulation catalogue roadmap whilst also working on threat research content.
• You will be educating the world of defensive security professionals on how to ensure they are secure in what they do.
• Your mission is to evolve and disrupt within the Blue Team space by creating emulated environments within our platform that will simulate both hacking and defending in an engaging and intuitive way for our community.
• You will design, build, and deliver practical and theory content to gamify offensive security and make it engaging and fun for the end user.
• You'll shake up traditional training and teach complex concepts in an innovative way.

If you have an interest in and passion for cyber security, have proven experience in the area of Incident Response & Crisis Simulation, and want to disrupt how employees build their resilience against the latest threats, we will appreciate your input and give you the space to innovate within our market-leading platform, Immersive One.

Your main responsibilities (we're scaling fast, so these may change as we grow):

• Utilising knowledge of blue teaming engagements and techniques to plan, write and improve defensive security labs, challenges, and online learning content on the Immersive One platform.
• Produce multi-format content utilising various teaching methods; practical exercises, questions & gamification.
• Test Blue Team labs and ranges to ensure they function as expected.
• Research the latest crisis and incidents and compile this research to deliver a catalogue of crisis simulation content.
• Compile technical research into understandable concise content for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Work with the wider Product team on new projects and product innovations and how best to deploy them.

Qualifications

• A number of years of experience working in the defensive security space, particularly within Incident Response or tabletop exercises.
• In-depth knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and how it is used to help enterprises deal with threats to their organisation.
• Strong technical understanding of networking, computing, and cyber security concepts.
• Ability to use examples and analogies to simplify complex subjects.
• Attitude and approach are just as important as technical skills; you will be someone who enjoys tackling complex problems and finding solutions.

Requirements

• Proven experience in Incident Response & Crisis Simulation.
• Ability to inhabit the mindset of your target audience to create realistic simulations.
• A natural problem solver and 'tinkerer' who enjoys prototyping and iteration.

Benefits

• Time off, flexible and remote working: includes 25 days annual leave + 2 volunteering days and your birthday off.
• The longer you are with Immersive, the more holiday days you get, up to a maximum of 30 days after five years of service.
• Enhanced parental leave, mindfulness groups, critical illness cover, 7% matched pension, private healthcare plan, and more.
• Career and learning development through the platform, a dedicated professional development fund, and our ‘Learn Anything’ fund.
• Recognition & Rewards for doing great work and living our values and behaviours.
• Informal or formal flexible working options, e.g., flexible start and finish times, reduced hours.
• A vibrant team culture with team events throughout the year.
• Easy access to our UK hub, based in the centre of Bristol, just a 10-minute walk from the train station.
