Job Description

Qodea (formally Appsbroker CTS) is the largest Google Cloud-only digital consultancy in Europe. Our name marks the culmination of a journey which began with the merger of Appsbroker and CTS in 2023. Combining the words ‘code’ and ‘idea’, our name embodies the essence of who we are and what we do; providing tried and trusted digital solutions, whilst helping our clients look to the future and innovate. We’re looking for bright, passionate people to join us at the vanguard, delivering the most ambitious Google Cloud projects across AI, security, martech, data, and Workspace.

With offices across Europe, you’ll be joining a dynamic team of talented but down-to-earth experts, with a presence across the UK, the Netherlands, Romania, and Belgium.

By joining forces, both companies bring over 15 years of Google Cloud experience under one roof, with over 420+ Google certifications, a list of brilliant enterprise customers, incredibly talented people, and multiple industry awards - meaning we can be trusted to deliver.

Role overview:

Qodea is dynamic and the role is varied so you’ll get involved in a wide range of activities but here is how a day would look like:

  • Use advanced analytical skills to investigate security incidents, develop detection rules, and implement automated response mechanisms.
  • Drive continuous improvement in team performance, operational efficiency, and security tooling.
  • Stay informed about emerging threats and technologies, demonstrating a willingness to learn and enhance threat detection and response capabilities.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as an escalation point for security incidents, conducting in-depth analysis using log correlation, malware analysis, and digital forensics techniques.
  • Analyse threat intelligence data and conduct controlled threat simulations to strengthen detection capabilities.
  • Conduct proactive threat hunting to identify potential threats that bypass security controls and detection mechanisms.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of detection rules and automation playbooks utilising no-code platforms and scripting languages.
  • Administer security tools, perform routine maintenance, and optimise log visibility in customer environments.
  • Contribute to a knowledge base of investigation guides, runbooks, and lessons learned to enhance future incident response efforts.
  • Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior security analysts.
  • Participate in our incident response on-call service to support the team when necessary.

Requirements

Key Skills:

  • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
  • Understanding of how adversaries compromise networks, the stages of an attack, and effective detection techniques.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise security technologies (e.g. SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and CNAPP solutions), operating systems, and cloud platforms, along with the ability to identify indicators of compromise across these environments.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with expertise in evaluating security alerts, conducting large-scale log analysis, performing vulnerability assessments, and identifying exploitation methods.
  • Experience in automating repetitive tasks using scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell), assisting in infrastructure management using IaC, and supporting deployment processes with CI/CD tools.
  • Self-driven with the ability to work independently and collaborate effectively in teams.

Desirable Skills:

  • Experience working in a defensive security role, including identifying threats, investigating incidents, and translating findings into actionable detection mechanisms.
  • Familiarity with securing containerized environments and cloud-native services, with the ability to analyze logs and gain visibility in these environments.
