SOC Engineer, Kuala Lumpur, (Hybrid)

WHO WE ARE

S-RM is a global intelligence and cyber security consultancy. Since 2005, we’ve helped some of the most demanding clients in the

world solve some of their toughest information security challenges.

We’ve been able to do this because of our outstanding people. We’re committed to developing sharp, curious, driven individuals

who want to think critically, solve complex problems, and achieve success.

But we also know that work isn’t everything. It’s about the lives and careers it helps us build. We’re immensely proud of

this culture and we invest in our people’s wellbeing, learning, and ideas every day.

We’re excited you’re thinking about joining us.

WORKING IN CYBER AT S-RM

Our Cyber Security division is the fastest-growing part of S-RM. The cyber sector is always evolving, and our Advisory, Managed

Services, and Incident Response practices are in more demand than ever.

We’re building a team to meet this challenge. We’re quick to respond, innovate, and improve. We don’t get too hung up on

hierarchy or bureaucracy. If your ideas are good enough, we’ll empower you to implement them. If you’re the best person to talk

to a customer, you’ll get that opportunity, regardless of the title in your email signature. And when you need a hand, your team

will always have your back.

specialists, software developers, investigators, risk managers, and more. You’ll always find a range of perspectives

Detection Engineering: You will develop, tune, and maintain detection logic aligned to customer environments and threat

landscapes. This includes reducing false positive rates and improving detection fidelity based on analyst feedback and emerging

threats.

Documentation & Standardization: You will create and maintain runbooks, integration guides, and onboarding playbooks to

ensure consistent, repeatable delivery across customer engagements. You will define and refine standards for log source

coverage, parsing schemas, and detection rule lifecycle management.

Collaboration & Support: You will work closely with SOC analysts, platform engineers, threat intelligence teams, and

client success managers to understand customer requirements and deliver monitoring solutions that maximize detection coverage.

You will provide technical support and troubleshooting for ingestion and detection-related issues.

Contributing to Internal Technical Development Initiatives: When the schedule allows, you will have opportunities

to participate in and contribute to internal technical development initiatives.
