About Proofpoint

At Proofpoint, we are committed to protecting organizations and individuals from cyber threats through innovative security solutions. Our mission is to safeguard our customers from advanced threats, phishing attacks, and data breaches with cutting-edge technology and a global team of security experts.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced L3 Cyber Incident Response Security Engineer to join our global security team in Cork, Ireland.

You will serve as an escalation point for our 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) and play a key role in the automation, orchestration, and enhancement of our security incident response capabilities.

This position requires deep expertise in cybersecurity, strong analytical skills, and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. If you thrive in a role where you can actively defend against cyber threats, conduct threat hunting, and drive security automation, this opportunity is for you.

Key Responsibilities

    • Lead complex investigations into advanced cyber threats, including malware outbreaks, targeted attacks, and persistent threats.
    • Provide expert-level guidance on containment, mitigation, and remediation strategies.
  • Threat Hunting & Threat Assessment:
    • Proactively hunt for hidden threats within enterprise networks using threat intelligence and behavioral analytics.
    • Develop and refine threat detection rules to improve SOC visibility.
    • Assess emerging threats and provide actionable recommendations to enhance security posture.
  • Security Automation & Orchestration:
    • Design and implement automated workflows to enhance security event triage and response.
    • Leverage SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) platforms to streamline incident response.
    • Work with SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools to optimize log ingestion and alerting mechanisms.
  • Security Tooling & Continuous Improvement:
    • Collaborate with security architects and engineers to enhance detection and response capabilities.
    • Perform root cause analysis on security incidents and recommend improvements to security controls.
    • Stay updated on industry best practices and evolving attack techniques to ensure effective defenses.
Required Qualifications & Experience
  • Extensive hands-on experience in Cybersecurity Incident Response or Security Operations.
  • Strong background in SOC operations, SIEM, threat intelligence, and digital forensics.
  • Expertise in investigating malware, phishing, web attacks, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).
  • Experience working with security automation and orchestration tools (SOAR).
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash for security automation.
  • Strong understanding of MITRE ATT&CK framework, TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), and cyber kill chain.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) is a plus.
  • Certifications such as GCIH, GCFA, CISSP, CISM, or OSCP are highly desirable.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, global environment and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
