hackajob is collaborating with Made Tech to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. Made Tech is on a mission to use technology to improve society - for everyone. We help public sector organisations transform, deliver and manage world-class digital products and cloud services. We work with the UK government to modernise legacy technology and shape the digital future of the country. We support local government teams in building accessible services that make a real difference to people. And we help the NHS use technology to improve and save lives. Made Tech has grown quickly, and has bold ambitions for the future. We know that growth and change can be unsettling (as well as exciting), so we are looking for people who enjoy this challenge, and want to help others thrive too. About the role Are you a Software Engineer that wants to actually see the real-world impact from what you help to create? Our mission is simple! We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. At Made Tech, we're collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage all people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us. Have we caught your interest? Please read on What does the job entail? We primarily write and deliver custom software for the public sector. We work across central and local government, as well as in health, and our past lies in the technology startup world. Technical excellence for us isn't about delivering to feature lists. We place a strong emphasis on outcome-based delivery; ensuring our customer's goals are understood and achieved with the technology we deploy. Senior Software Engineers find themselves working on a variety of different problems from monoliths to microservices, upskilling colleagues and customers, always finding themselves learning from others, while constantly striving to be nice humans Our teams have used Java, Ruby, Python, ES6 with React, as well as C# with .NET Core. We don't limit ourselves as a company and we expect all our Engineers to be keen on learning new technologies. Automation is important to our teams, so we make sure there is a CD pipeline set up to build, test, and release many times per day. High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to iteratively and rapidly deliver changes all the way through to production. To do this we combine our extensive cloud automation knowledge with DevOps culture. We ensure we document our architecture and infrastructure as code, using technologies such as Terraform and OpenAPI. Containerisation is a big part of empowering our teams to develop, deploy and scale their applications, but so too is using AWS Lambda and avoiding the complexity of stateful services altogether. Right tool for the job. For us, DevOps is about culture rather than roles and titles. Even though this role is for someone with strong DevOps experience, the biggest impact you will have is coaching and helping teams use the platforms you build. You won't be building infrastructure in isolation or charged with deploying other peoples work into production. You'll empower teams with the mantra: you build it, you run it! We grow a team of language agnostic engineers, which you might already consider yourself to be, who are versed in a mix of paradigms such as object-oriented, functional, declarative, event-based and aspect-oriented. To create this environment our Senior Software Engineers need to embrace sharing their knowledge and skills with others, and they need to keep an open mind - we'd love to hear some examples of mentoring, coaching and growing team members. Maybe you will have written some blog posts about your discipline, or perhaps even delivered a talk or two. What experience are we looking for? We want our teams and individuals to grow. If you don't have the following skills, you will have access to a learning budget, experienced team members and a wider learning and mentoring culture that can help you develop the following Written code with tests Delivery in an agile environment Worked across a variety of programming languages Worked with at least one Cloud platform Worked with databases Worked with APIs Debugging experience in a range of systems Evidence of self-development - we value keen learners Drive to deliver outcomes for users Desire to mentor others Nice to Haves Consultancy experience Working directly with customers and users Working within multidisciplinary teams with product, design, and technology working within the same cycles Showcasing and presentation skills Agile practices such as Scrum, XP, and/or Kanban Pair programming - we pair around 50% of the time Writing code with test-driven development Component-based design techniques such as using pattern libraries, styled-components, CSS-in-JS, BEM, and/or SUIT CSS Debugging infrastructure Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines The React ecosystem including a test-driven approach Infrastructure as code technology like Terraform and Cloud Formation Familiarity with architectural and design patterns Use of architectural decision records Benefits at Made Tech and Application Support Support in applying If you need this job description in another format, or other support in applying, please email .

hackajob is collaborating with Made Tech to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. Made Tech helps UK public sector organisations build and run better digital services. Our Cyber practice sits at the heart of that mission - working alongside government departments, agencies, and critical national infrastructure owners to improve how they detect, respond to, and learn from cyber threats. As a Lead Security Analyst, you'll be the most senior analyst on your engagement, setting the technical direction for the SOC and owning the quality of what the team produces - from detection engineering to threat-hunting to incident response. This isn't a role where you disappear into a ticket queue. You'll shape the threat-landscape narrative for your engagement, drive the detection backlog, and build the capability of the analysts around you. That means pairing on complex investigations, setting tradecraft standards, and making sure the team's detection content is version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and continuously improved - not left to age in a SIEM. You'll also be the trusted technical interface for client security stakeholders, translating what the SOC is seeing into the language that informs decisions. The UK public sector context matters here. You'll align your work to NCSC guidance, the Cyber Assessment Framework, and OFFICIAL handling requirements - not because compliance is the goal, but because those frameworks reflect the real risk environment your clients operate in. You'll engage with cross-government security communities, feed detection content and runbooks back into the Cyber practice, and help grow a bench of analysts who can operate at the same standard. Key Responsibilities Set the detection engineering standard - author, tune, and peer-review detections in KQL, SPL, EQL, or Sigma; manage the false-positive backlog; map coverage to MITRE ATT&CK; and train L1/L2 analysts to write and tune detections themselves. Own the threat-landscape narrative for your engagement - turn intelligence from NCSC advisories, sector feeds, and threat actor reporting into hunt themes, coverage gap analysis, and detection priorities that the SOC and client stakeholders can act on. Run the intelligence cycle as a managed discipline - maintain a collection plan, produce timely and rigorous intelligence products, and build feedback loops that keep the cycle honest and improving. Establish and lead security incident response practice - build playbooks, define the severity model, run exercises, and lead the team's response to significant incidents; run blameless post-mortems that the team actually learns from. Design the log and telemetry pipeline that detections run on - including bespoke application telemetry in cloud environments, not just commodity endpoint feeds; ensure the right signals are collected, parsed, and retained for both detection and investigation. Be the trusted technical interface for client security stakeholders - communicate what the SOC is detecting, investigating, and covering without losing fidelity; surface risks early and honestly, and align the team's priorities to the client's risk picture. Grow the analysts around you - pair on detection authorship and incident response as a default, set pairing as the team norm, and actively build the capability of L1 and L2 analysts through structured mentoring and coaching so knowledge isn't concentrated in one person. Contribute to the Cyber practice beyond your engagement - feed detection content, runbooks, and lessons learned back into shared practice resources; contribute to analyst assessment and hiring; and engage with public-sector security communities including NCSC CISP and relevant ISACs. Skills, Knowledge & Expertise We're looking for someone who holds one of the following, or an equivalent senior cyber operations leadership credential: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) Experience leading detection engineering in a SOC or similar environment - including writing and tuning detections in KQL, SPL, EQL, or Sigma, and managing coverage against MITRE ATT&CK Experience designing or improving a log and telemetry pipeline, including application-level telemetry from cloud-hosted services (AWS is a strong preference at this grade), with an understanding of how to design monitoring for failure modes and degraded states Evidence of running the intelligence cycle as a managed discipline - collection planning, production, and feedback - rather than consuming finished intelligence Working knowledge of UK government security standards and frameworks, including NCSC CAF Objective C, GovAssure, and OFFICIAL handling requirements Experience establishing incident response practice - playbooks, severity models, and exercises - not just responding to individual incidents Evidence of growing the technical capability of less experienced analysts through pairing, structured mentoring, or coaching, including setting clear goals and tracking progress over time Experience anchoring delivery on client outcomes rather than task completion - challenging the brief where it serves the client and making value visible rather than reporting effort Evidence of contributing reusable assets - detection playbooks, runbooks, templates, or accelerators - back into a practice or community, rather than leaving knowledge within a single team Tools and practices Familiarity with SOAR tooling and automation of triage and enrichment workflows Experience working in Kanban-led operating models, including managing triage queues, WIP limits, and class-of-service for incidents Experience running or contributing to skills-based technical assessments that evaluate demonstrated capability rather than credentials or years of experience Made Tech sponsors attainment of recognised cyber certifications for staff in scope. If you don't yet hold the essential credentials listed above but are working toward them - or can demonstrate equivalent capability through your experience - we'd still like to hear from you. Job Benefits We are always listening to our growing teams and evolving the benefits available to our people. As we scale, as do our benefits and we are scaling quickly. We've recently introduced a flexible benefit platform which includes a Smart Tech scheme, Cycle to work scheme, and an individual benefits allowance which you can invest in a Health care cash plan or Pension plan.

Get in touch with our talent team if you'd like an informal chat about the role and your suitability before applying. We are hiring for this role directly, so will not respond to any CVs sent via external recruitment agencies.
